The Rebbe Who Left Judaism (includes video)
The following story has recently come to light. I don’t think many have heard it before and if everything about this story is true, it is most likely that only the very closest of family ever knew it having kept it a secret all these years. If indeed the story shared in the video below is true, it is certainly an amazing one and one from which we can all learn. I am presenting the facts as they are told.
Perhaps two of the greatest lessons we can learn from the story are:
- Even when one is on the right path doing the right thing, it is only too easy to take a turn away from it.
- Even if one has lost one’s direction, and one has gone onto a path away from Judaism, it is never too late to return.
If a Rebbe can manage to get pulled off the path of Judaism – so can anyone. If a Rebbe who has distanced himself from Judaism so completely as to end up on a completely secular path – but can find his way back to a true path, then so too, can anyone.
