Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Back in 1950 Yemenite Jews arriving in Israel saw water faucets and thought they create water. They knew nothing of the invisible infrastructure of pipes and pumps that made water gush out of the faucet. Similarly there is invisible spiritual infrastructure that makes modern commerce possible. Finding food in the supermarket reliably every day; assuming the light will come on when you flick the wall switch; reaching someone on the other side of the world from your mobile phone; knowing that when you go through an intersection on a green light you won't be T-boned by an 18-wheeler barelling through against a red light. How strangers will happily provide what other strangers want. All through the magic of money. When government integrity goes, the judicial system goes, crime comes, and the economy tanks. See the rules here  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/book-of-ruth-free-lesson-signup Use code RUTH15 What happens when five individual farmers working for themselves form a co-op and start collaborating.

Co-hosted with Susan Lapin. If you cannot play tennis, your life can still be good. If you can't sing, play a musical instrument, or tell jokes, your life can still be wonderful. But there are five distinct things that are vital for every successful and happy life. What is more, you cannot have 3 out of the 5. It's all five or nothing. In a way, these five things make up an indivisible totality of good living. A good way of thinking of them is as your life's operating system. Everything you do, achieve and enjoy rests on the foundation of a smoothly-running operating system.  We talk of identifying these five things and acquiring them.  We reveal useful tips, tools, and techniques that we have published in our new book, The Holistic You. Read about it here  https://a.co/d/24XdFHh What is the difference between electric cars and polyamorous living arrangements? Does making money mean the same to women as it does to men? Are there male female relationships that are 100% non-romantic; purely business or social? 

Why hate the Jews? The honest, true, and deeply uncomfortable explanation for anti-Semitism. Two nations on one island: Haiti is desperate and hopeless. The Dominican Republic is vibrant and successful. What is the difference? Whenever you hear concern about "The Children" know that you are being powerfully and emotionally manipulated for political purposes. More Jews had to leave Arab lands than Arabs had to leave Israel in 1948. Why are Arab refugees treated differently from all other refugees in the world? The fallacy of proportionality. Someone is beating up your wife and kid, careful now, make sure your response is proportional. Really? Where did this rubbish doctrine come from? Loving those you give to rather than those who give to you. Isn't compassion always a desirable characteristic?  Learn more about your ad choices.

I prefer a sacred Christmas to a secular Christmas. Secularism is not just a fair way to organize a pluralistic society. It exerts a malign influence on civilization. In ways you can't imagine.  A guy is really unhappy because his wife lunches with a male colleague a couple of times a week. Is his bank account relevant to this story?  Why platonic friendships between men and women between the ages of 15 and 70 never work. Is an emotional affair a thing? What should the unhappy guy do? Remember Mel Gibson's Braveheart? It explains one of the most important aspects of Chanuka. What were you doing between the ages of 13 and 23? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life?

Do you know the really unpopular message of Chanuka? That's right, it has something to do with burning oil. Why the Fossil Fuel vision seems to drag along a vision of shortage, limits, and ultimately poverty. Predictions of running out of coal and oil go back to the 19th century and they've all been wrong. Why do they keep making them? It's almost as if they WANT to run out of energy. What's going on? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life?

Many mistakenly believe that the proliferation of regulations and laws are evidence of a society's sophistication and advance. In reality, that is like saying that all the medications in an old man's medicine chest are evidence of his good health.

Do you want a good life? Do you know what a good life means? What do you have to do in order to achieve a good life? How Germany defeated France in only six weeks in early 1940.

What is purpose of physical intimacy: pleasure or procreation? Both? Why must the life-enhancing energy we call family derive from this elemental male female connection?

Your rabbi confesses that there are aspects of the Islamic struggle for world domination that he admires; not likes, not values, not commends and not approves, but admires. You willl learn why considering this a stuggle between Islam and Democracy is childish. Why Moslems fight among themselves. Why the Palestinian issue will never be solved by a bureaucrat with a map and a pencil. Why the hideous savagry of October 7th. Why they die in Gaza. What happened to the Red Cross and the kidnapped Jews in the dark Gazan tunnels.Political power today is achieved by appeals to the heart not the head. How democracy leads to tyranny.

In this show we answer the puzzling paradoxes in the previous show. Even the most baffling behavioral enigmas surrender to a coherent moral matrix. A moral matrix answers questions in four main areas: Family, Finance, Friendships, and Fitness. A moral matrix is not time dependent; what was moral years ago will still be moral in years to come. Could a moral matrix emerge by itself in an isolated society? Why do secular/socialistic regimes never endure for very long? Read about Scrolling Through Scripture and listen to a lesson for free now!  https://tinyurl.com/43z9e23e  Discover the connection between a country’s legal system and its underlying moral matrix.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Much of what you say flows subconsciously from your morality matrix. Many of your decisions are made based on your morality matrix. If you don’t have one, you are making a whole bunch of damaging mistakes in your life. With a proper functioning morality matrix you make far fewer mistakes and life is more joyful. With no morality matrix, or worse, a broken one, you are making decisions in finance, romance, and socially that will come back and bite you—if they haven’t already done so. Morality is not like a toddler learning to walk. Gaining one is not automatic. A functioning morality matrix is like calculus, cooking or car repair. Unless you make the effort to acquire them, you won’t have them. There are more than one morality matrix available. Did you ever deliberately and purposefully choose yours? Do you and your spouse share a morality matrix? If not, God help you! Your morality matrix is not confined to your faith. How well you are doing with Family, Finances, and Friendships has much to do with the exist

How many times has Islam tried to conquer Europe and turn it into part of the Moslem world? Why did Gazans in 2005 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did the Nazis in 1938 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did rioters, thugs and looters (Sorry, I meant to say “protestors”) in 2020 destroy millions of panes of glass in American cities? The deeper and inescapable truth about this Clash of Destiny https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/clash-of-destiny-instant-download/   Is it true that violence never solves anything? Where did civilization come from?  Finally, understand the distinction between Civilization and Barbarism in terms of

Dr. Naomi Wolf has been writing left-leaning provocative books and articles since she achieved fame as a feminist leader over thirty years ago. She advised Bill Clinton on his 1996 presidential election campaign, and she advised the Al Gore/Joe Lieberman presidential campaign in 2000. It would seem hard for Susan Lapin and your rabbi to find any common ground with her for a cordial conversation. Most of what she stood for and espoused we considered, and still do, dangerous and destructive drivel but she was always eloquent and coherent. However, we discovered some highly unusual aspects to this gutsy woman and we invited her to chat with us on this show. She graciously accepted and we greatly enjoyed the result. Now you can too. Our best book ever: The Holistic You Integrating Your Family, Finances, Friendships, Faith, and Fitness. Read about it here https://a.co/d/gx9YFF1   Naomi Wolf is no tennis ball floating down the gutter of life.
