Shabbat – An Island in Time

Thank you for this fantastic potato kugle Reply

How important is it that they be Yukon Gold potatoes? I have so-called early potatoes called Annabelle. They are supposedly "fest-kochend" which I guess means they don't dissolve or get mealy. Should I use the more floury, more mealy type of potatoe? Because your batter looks very gooey. Reply

Thank you so much for these valuable lessons. I am a Moroccan ExMuslim living in Germany

Jewish Essentials Part 2 I am just doing this and feel so empowered. Thank you Rabbi Shlomo Reply

regarding 'catching up' with the community during shabbat Wonderful and inspiring, thank you. I am confused about two comments Rabbi said. He mentions two examples about the benefit of the community during shabbat. One is someone that mentions he lost his jib, and before kiddush was over got some leads for new job. Another says he is having spouse problems and gets help during shabbat. My question/confusion is, wouldn't those two topics be part of the topics we are not supposed to be talking about during shabbat? Reply

Priorities I can't help but think that if everyone took this time to reconnect and re-energize there would be an overall reduction in divorce, depression, anxiety and stress in the world that is so prevalent today. Thank you for this message. Reply

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful !

I am not a jew. I´m interested in your knowledge which
really gives meaning to my life.

The perspective, the explanations given, everything is so in
its place, everything happens for a reason, awareness, responsibility,
everything , every word becomes alive.

Thank you for sharing. It is a blessing. Reply

God is doing avante-garde things still This presentation was very informative; giving an over-all picture. I am not jewish. I do appreciate the perspectives you gave, very meaningful on many levels. :) Reply

As I sit As I sit and stare out of my one room home I have the hope that my oasis ,my rest will appear .I see all Jews sitting at the calm beaches of the sands of time on Shabbat. The word relaxing now has more meaning than ever, as when the words can come to peace of the Mitzvahs we have done.When the connection to HaShem is so clear yet we are not perplexed.When there it is no longer barriers between are actions and our thoughts which are pure kindness on this day.We are together we are one and HaShem has much joy that we now understand what is the past .Before we had scares of our own doing but healing is our strength. Problems in our lives help shape the good merit for our future.The waters are still and clean as well as our souls are pure and bright .I will no longer am just me,I will be what HaShem made me to be body and soul.

Truly enjoyable Rabbi Bistritzky I really enjoy listening to your lectures. The stories are wonderful and the presentation of material is easy to understand and highly engrossing.

SHABBAT Thank you for this spiritual bread. How wonderful and easy to learn when one opens the eyes of the spirit. This is eternal wisdom to transform lives not only mine but others. Thank you again. Reply

Shabbat an Island in Time What a stimulating lecture. Such a dignified Rabbi. Rabbi Shlomo was instrumental in bringing a young man to Torah and Mitzvot. My daughter who has been religious all her life is now married to that young man. Reply

Shabbat Thanks for the teaching on the Shabbat. I am a non Jew who keep the Sabbath and the Lev 23 holy days. Howver, I answer my cellphone when fellow brethren call, I turn on my stove as we are not so constrain by our teaching, I have to drive to worship as it is far away, I go on the Internet as there is lots of spiritual teaching like yours, I listen to the main newscast on radio, no TV. But, as I say, I am Gentile who practice Jewish tradition. Reply
