What Is True Jewish Beauty | The Lubavitcher Rebbe

Показать описание

Miri Goldfarb, the 1991 "Miss Israel" winner visits the Rebbe: "Torah says: 'Beauty is false.' But the verse continues: 'A G-d-fearing woman is to be praised.' The commentaries explain that if a woman is G-d-fearing, she uses her beauty for beautiful endeavors in Torah and Mitzvos. Good tidings, and please relay this message to your friends."

Miri Goldfarb, she did get married after receiving the Rebbe's bracha. Her husband is Eliezer (Eli) Driks, former star player of Maccabi Tel Aviv. As far as I know they are still happily married and have three children.

I love that when the Rebbe starting speaking people shushed and listened. Such respect!

She is as beautiful as humble... amazing and very rare. Plus that soft voice.

Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised." <3 God bless you! <3

IM NOT JEWISH AND I LOVE THE REBBE. WHAT A GREAT CULTURE YOU HAVE.

I met the Rebbe in 1988 and was given similarly wise advice. A few of my fellow Catholic friends said I’d committed a mortal sin in going there...on Sunday, much less, but I was there not to engage in “false worship, ” as alleged, but because I was in school writing a paper for an anthropology class. First of all, I didn’t worship the Rebbe, and I didn’t notice anyone else doing so, although only God knew the hearts. Second of all, he quoted Torah to support his words. Third, I related the incident to my priest who said he couldn’t have put it any better. And yes, people knew how to behave respectfully in the presence of an elder. As an outsider, a Catholic gentile at that, I was treated well by the Jews of Crown Heights during the year I committed to research. None of the anti-Semitic tales a few people, including secular Jews, told me proved to be true. Respect goes both ways, so I went out of my way to respect their religion and culture. I told my hosts on a number of occasions, that if they were offended or uncomfortable with anything I said or did, to let me know at once so as to correct myself. In fact, the only time I had a problem was in 1989, right after the riots. I was crossing Utica Ave, heading to Kingston, when a car full of young men swerved as if to run me down, shouted anti-Semitic slurs and curses, and tossed McDonald’s food at me. I’d apparently strayed from Jewish territory? So much for cowards who mistook me for a lone Jewish woman to prove their manhood? This was as much about the politics of race as religion, not why I was there at all.

Jewish people are off the charts intelligent. I send love to all Jews. I seek truth. Jewish friends have always given me the most valuable info about business and experience as friends go. Always fun to be around. Jews are also hilarious and methodical. Absolute beautiful people. Send love to all Jews and I send peace as well. Shalom friends. You are awesome!

He is wise and gives respect to a higher quality than beauty . Strength and belief and awe for G-d.

I think the rebbe sensed what she felt ...that´s why he told her this words. In other words he told her to be humble and not to think that the world belongs to her because of her beauty... It belongs only to g-d and she should work in his favour with his gift to her....after he told her this she understood it pretty well I think. The rebbe was very powerful

The most important request done by this young woman.

FAELNYC

Yes. The best thing my Catholic mother did for me was praise my brains and hard work. I did not even know as a little child that I was much better looking than my sister- looks were and are nothing. That meant I had a very good career, life, marriage, children. All the religions and all wise people know vanity is a sin.
