Has Europe Lost its Soul? (Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks)

Wonderful, thank you Rabbi

A sane, thought provoking speaker. Sacks urges us all to reflect and more importantly, react within our social environment.

Has Europe Lost its Soul? Yes, thanks to Jewish ideas such as Marxism, Frankfurt school + treacherous honourless Europeans The cure. Nationalism!

Wise man.

Marxism was an atheist. So, what you are saying is that godless Humanism and atheism have ripped the soul out of England, and everywhere else. So, if you were walking down a street late at night and four burly guys came up behind you. Would it make any difference if you knew they has just left a Bible study or Synagogue service.

I would say secularism is the absense of God. It therefore creates a vacumn in which the state can become supreme.

I do like that man.

To be a Jew is to belong to certain ethnicity with a certain history. Marx could easily be a Israeli citizen unlike me. Im talking about ethnic radical jews here, not religion.

Most Jews in Israel are atheist and not religious so I bet that old Marx could claim the right of return. As any other ethnic Jew “As to ethnicity,millions of non-Jews could lay claim to Jewish DNA” How? It’s not my favourite subject but it’s quite easy to check people’s ethnicity or race with today’s genetic science. For example genetic test shows that fins are 90% European (Suomi DNA-projekti) A historical isolated group as the Jews would be no problem to pinpoint.

You can prove any of his points looking at the contemporary Greek drama. The first thing the Greeks must improve is their distributed moral status. Then, they can rebuilt their state. The average person in the street cannot absorb even a few bits of rabbi's Sacks Jewish wisdom, because of prejudice and/or lack of education. Greeks' distributed lack of trust is everyday experience in courts, government offices, local authorities, neighbors.  By voting the Golden Dawn Nazi party, they will not achieve their goal.

I was so hoping he wouldn't mention milton friedman of evil memory. how can he give friedman the positive treatment: "respect for the individual" !!?
I usually respect rav sachs, but this is warped.

Thank you for a perfectly cohesive lecture, enlightening and resounding with great wisdom and understanding. I am profoundly grateful for having had the opportunity to listen to this material. Thank you.

But Jews and Christians aren't friends. Never were.

Wonderful as always Rabbi Sacks

Christians and Jews should militarily conquer the world and sort it out.

End poverty, end people being homeless Now!

Great lecture Lord Sacks ! But the most intelligent words cannot change the decaying process of things. Europe never lost his soul because he never possessed one. A metaphor don't create a thing. Only living beings have soul. There is no such a thing for the "Moral Person" like states, churches or corporations. It explains their constant immoral behavior all along the West History

Material Faith vs Spiritual Faith

Deep, exhausting and insipiring... as usually :)

Wisdom, compassion, and sense of responsibility speaks here. Blessed is He Who created this universe and gave His creation the Way, Truth, and the teachings for a unified world in compassion, understanding, and brotherhood for His glory and honor. Our Creator is sending a very important message to the world. Listen and be more understanding of His power. He, blessed is He, is trying to show us that we must come to a realization that mutual respect for ALL life and creatures is the way for peace to the world.

Moral Ethics that restore things which hold Value in Society, while Challenging what is Wrong is our responsibility as God's co-workers. Thank you, much appreciated words of Wisdom.

A voice crying in the worldliness! and who is listening? Well said, Rabbi Sacks. Shalom and love, from Auckland, New Zealand.

L' Europa si sta chiedendo chi e' .

Well I salute his honesty, Europe has truly lost its soul the foundation upon which their wealth was created . Wealth and luxury has made them loose common sense and their beliefs in extraordinary libertarian principle has eroded their root. Whilst Islam has mounted a stronger faith development and spiralling away the youth of Europe sucking them into a world of psychological attention with the innate belief in Islam. When a society looses its roots it decays and rots away. Thank God very soon All of Europe will become islamised. Let’s hope Africa carries the faith of Christianity and becomes the real beacon of hope for another millennia

Its over, theres no way europe will recover

Brilliant

This was one of the most profound and extraordinary speeches I've EVER heard!! 🍃This is a must-watch if you haven't. Thank you Rabbi Sacks. You never cease to amaze me.

One of the most brilliant lectures I have ever heard. Thank You Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks for restoring the fundamental importance of religion in a lost Western world.

I cried last night after reading Rabbi Sacks had died. I didn’t know. I found him at the start of the pandemic and have purchased his books, listened to his teaching for a year now constantly. It hurt me that he’s gone. I thank God for Rabbi Sack.

Hello: interesting lecture ---- but yet it's time less any student of history would say those words apply to most periods in human history

I have just read an interesting book ( Against our better judgement) by (Alison Weir)

There is a movement that clams to speak for a people

As an American of European decent who's ancestor fled Europe seeking religious, cultural, political freedom , with a degree of economic prospetty.

America gave that to them. What it demanded in return was loyalty.

Meaning only to act in The interest of it's adopted country.

After reading this book if it is correct. There is a group of Ameticans who through there intrigue got my country to inter ww1 , even thought there president only months earlier was elected promising to keep us out of that wsr.

That war cost the lives of 200,000 American citizens.

If this book is accurate those dead solders demand justice

Read the book and If You find fault of agree it. then in the name of those fallen heroes ------ well

Brilliantly said. And what an amazing speaker.

Every word an inspiration the greatest leader teacher speaker and unifier of our century the world has lost a genius of our times truly wonderful I could listen to his wisdom all day
