I love you and Susan, Rabbi. I watch you on TCT and am always enlightened by your ancient Jewish wisdom. Friends of mine recently caught your tv program and were thrilled by your presentation. Toda raba. Baruch Hashem. Baruch you too!

Interesting post. Times certainly have changed! This is an example of how social norms regarding sex, contraception, pregnancy, sex ed, etc. have drastically shifted in the past 50 years. For better or worse? Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no. Either way, no one can deny this is one of the most polarizing topics today.

Comment on Hocus Focus – Wave Those Priests by Henry

About superhuman strength: A few decades back, I remember a news story, whereby a mother lifted her Ford Pinto to save her child who was pinned underneath, but the mother found out soon enough that she had fractured two vertebrae in her lower back in doing the lift. I am age 59 and can lift 2.5 times my bodyweight. It took heavy training, every fifth day, for many long years. You are right – it does require FOCUS – prior to and during the lift. Belief in the Almighty is always most helpful in this case.

I am truly sorry for the difficult road you are on. And I appreciate your writing, because it is frequently true as you write, “Women who have faithful, committed husbands don’t realize how blessed they are.” Your story is also a warning to women (and men) as to how important it is to confirm the character of he person you are marrying from an objective source, not just from the person’s own statements. But even having done one’s ‘homework’, life does sometimes deal us unpleasant surprises and there is no absolute way to make sure the person you marry has integrity and will continue to have integrity. I do think though, that stories like the one about the head of the Bible college that I wrote up, are important to recount so that people have a goal for which to aim.

The story of the college professor’s commitment to his wife was indeed touching, but in a very painful way for those of us who have not been so blessed as to have a husband who is faithful and committed to us. Yes, we do dream of that kind of marriage, and I must confess that I believed with all my heart that was the kind of marriage I had. I considered myself a very blessed woman. How naive and deceived I was. I found out, after more than 20 years of marriage, that my husband had been unfaithful to me off and on throughout our entire marriage. I also found out he is a sex/porn addict (ever since grade school) who enjoys strip joints and other such places whenever he’s out of town – and I never had a clue. He is known by many and considered a strong committed man of God, a servant of God, in our community. He is actively involved in numerous ministries in this area and has been for many years. Truly he is a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. If men had any idea how much pain their unfaithfulness would cause their wives and how deep it would go, would they still do it? Sadly, the answer is Yes. I told my husband at the beginning of our marriage that infidelity would crush me and totally destroy our marriage. (I had seen what my mother went through, and I knew I could never endure it.) He assured me I had nothing to worry about because he, like Job, had made a covenant with his eyes many years earlier never to even look at a woman with lust. I SO totally believed him. What he failed to tell me was that he had NEVER kept that covenant. Not ever. I did not know he had had my replacement picked out for years, waiting for me to die. I did not know he had been unfaithful to two previous wives. Women who have faithful, committed husbands don’t realize how blessed they are. A lot of other things can be overlooked. I wonder how many women, like me, sincerely believe they have a wonderful, Godly, faithful husband……..when they do not.

Your explanation of who may call themselves “Rabbi” explains this slander. These men who assume this title of repect are certainly not teachers of the truth. Rabbi does mean teacher, doesn’t it? They must think very highly of themselves to think that thier personal opinion could pass for God’s truth, while they are merely pushing thier own agendas.

Just stumbled onto this post from seeing you “suggested” on Twitter and wondered what your views on Beck would be. Personally, I am a Christian, conservative and don’t care for Beck that much simply because of his delivery much of the time. I agree with his views, his stands, his beliefs….just don’t take to him so much. But I do appreciate your opinion and enjoyed this post very much. Thank you for explaining “rabbi”. Very interesting.

I learned of the good Rabbi Lapin on the Glenn Beck program. I am a dedicated listner to BOTH and also a dedicated Christian. I respect BOTH these men and am SO thankful to God that they are willing to risk the approval of the world to give rise to truth and reason.

Thank you for waking us and for stimulating us to be “better” people.

Thank you, sir. Glenn Beck is the kind of voice we need in Congress. But we need him more on television. Lord, I pray, give us more Glenn Becks and Rabi Labins.

“Defending one’s own reputation as well as that of one’s family or group is an important moral obligation.”

Bravo!
