Just wanted to clarify
the video I made yesterday about petting
cats and walking dogs. There's been a
lot of chatter about it, a lot of
comments, positive, negative. The first
thing is
my intent and my heart was not
to hurt anybody.
Number two, although it was triggered by
a video that a certain
rabbi kabad rabbi made, it wasn't
intended for him
or for me. It was t it was intended for
everybody really.
And the objective of the video was
how do we prepare for which is the Kabad
Crown of Holidays.
And when I was thinking about it and the
video came across
my phone
and in discussion with my friends,
it was very clear to us that we have a
tradition, the M the Messiah, the Kabad
tradition. That's all.
Pets are wonderful. And I wasn't
speaking Jewish law and which people
have commented. I know about that.
I wasn't getting into discussions. I
wasn't getting into ethical discussions.
I was talking about one and one thing
only. Do we prepare ourselves for by
petting cats? That's all. Now, the the
rabbi who made that video, he was COMING
FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE. GOD BLESS HIM. I
know him. I respect him. He's done
wonderful things,
many more things than I've done in a in
as [clears throat] far as, you know,
outreach and things like that. And God
bless him,
but but let's not lose focus.
And
I asked around people. He said, "It's
strange and weird for a rabbi with, you
know, with a long beard and a and a
capot and a public speaker and a mashia
and a counselor to make a VIDEO PETTING
TWO CATS. THAT'S ALL. If you DON'T THINK
IT'S WEIRD, NO PROBLEM. No problem." But
I didn't see this by K byas
by theim.
I never saw THEM MAKE TALK AND PET CATS.
So it's just like bizarre. Now that's
it, you know. Take it as it is, you
know. And you can see in the comments
that plenty OF PEOPLE THINK THAT WAY
TOO. And this isn't uh this isn't an
attack on Hmon. It's just what is our
tradition. And today more than ever when
people decide for themselves what is
kabad, what's not kabad, kabad light,
kabad colors,
it's important to stand up and clarify
what the messiah is as we received it
from our mashim, who I learned by and
who I spent time with.
And and that's all I'm doing. And if
that's not what you want, no problem. Do
it YOUR WAY. BUT DON'T TELL me that this
is your Teskisliff. I hope now it's
clear. Really, I have I don't have an
iota of negativity
towards him or anyone else who pets
cats. It's just that we need to make
sure that we know exactly what's what.
Thank you very much.
