Rabbi Daniel Lapin

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?

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.

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 existence and condition of your morality matrix. The deeper and inescapable truth about the 2023 Israeli war is revealed here: 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 the same 5Fs that are transforming your life https://a.co/d/fZuMRoK  Are there barbarians who dress in a suit and tie and teach other barbarians about gender studies in universities?  Is it moral to kill in self-defense? Is it moral to kill one person to save the lives of five? Is it moral to steal medicine for a desperately ill patient? These and many more.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A young man says goodbye to his father and goes off to war. Why is this war different from every other ethnic conflict? Why can this one not be resolved by dividing the territory down the middle? Your rabbi is still in Israel. Why is the notorious Two State Solution, beloved by silly politicians, never going to be? Does Islam hate Christianity more than Christians love it? 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 the same 5Fs that are transforming your life https://a.co/d/fZuMRoK  Are there barbarians who dress in a suit and tie and teach other barbarians about gender studies in colonial hell holes?
