@Serious Bible Student, Interesting talk, but I don't understand why the Rabbi disparaged Mark Twain as a well-known Jew-hater. I remember reading things Mark Twain said about the Jews that suggested he admired them as holding the keys to eternity. Here is his famous quote:
"The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"
In the title of this shiur,
ReplyDelete'The Soul of the Mashiach Who Bares Sin'..
Should it be bares or bears... perhaps its a typo error??
Thanks.

Yes I just copied it from the You Tube, it could be either spelling depending on the interpretation, but in the end I think you're right.
