This week, the popular YouTube channel “Menora” delighted its viewers with two new episodes. The first is an engaging conversation between the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro and the region, Shmuel Kaminezki, and Dmitry Gordon, while the second is Rabbi Kaminezki’s address to the holiday of Pesach.
“How Jews Are Arranged, Destiny, Luck, and Great People. Dmitry Gordon on His Judaism”
In this episode, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki meets with journalist, philanthropist, and one of the most well-known contemporary interlocutors – Dmitry Gordon. They discuss the influence of Jewish culture on world history, the characteristics of the Jewish people, and reflect on how the world is structured and whether there is a chance to improve it.
The main questions are: Can we really change the world? How do historical events and personal experiences influence our perception of justice? Why does Jewish tradition teach us to doubt while still maintaining faith in a better future?
“How Does Matzah Affect the Soul? The Holiday of Pesach. Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki”
Matzah is not just a tradition, but a living history of our people. Even in the most difficult times, Jews have tried to obtain or bake matzah – and this is not by chance. In this episode, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki shares profound reflections on the symbolism of matzah, its connection to humility, and spiritual growth.
Key questions:
- Why does matzah symbolize faith and freedom?
- How does matza differ from chametz not only in the recipe, but also in meaning?
- How do the letters of these words reveal the secret of human character?
Why is the Passover Seder the Key to the Jewish Future?
