Dear Rabbi Golub,
You blow my socks off.
I enjoy your Jewish 101 series, especially the Creation stories in Genesis and the Aleph-bet series. I hope all the episodes will be made available on you tube.
I wish I had known forty years ago what you have taught me now. But learning does not stop when one reaches the ripe old age of twenty-two but continues even when one reaches his dotage.
You make my thoughts take wing as I contemplate new ideas or look at old ideas in new ways.
In your Jewish 101 episode of the second creation story, I was dumbfounded when you said YHWH is a verb. A form of “to be”. IT MAKES SENSE.
I also thank you for your lectures on Maimonides and His Guide for the Perplexed.
And thank you for introducing me to Rashi.
You know, I get the feeling you are only talking to me. I can listen to you all day….and I do.
Thank you for making the Torah accessible to me.
You blow my socks off.
Shalom,
Ed
