Why aren't more of the folks that don't agree with someone's statements discussing it with them directly? Candace Owens is proving to many, that she is willing to sit down and coherently discuss many subjects. Those that don't agree with her can setup an interview and discuss things with her directly and make their points as this esteemed person did. Take an hour of your day to watch the whole episode if you want to learn how to communicate with facts and not innuendo. Well done to both parties for willing to sit down and discuss their views without any soundbites or 3rd party hearsay. We need more of this on MSM and not overly hyped and scripted dialogue.
Rabbi Michael Barclay
Rabbi Michael Barclay (הרב משה ישראל
בן אברם הכהן) is an American rabbi, author, and lecturer. The founding
rabbi of Temple Ner Simcha in Westlake Village, CA. (www.nersimcha.org),
he is recognized as an insightful theologian who integrates authentic Jewish
theology into 21st century situations.
The descendant of Ukrainian rabbis
from Chernigov, Rabbi Barclay was both the Hillel Director and a professor in
the School of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los
Angeles. He has lectured around the world on cross-cultural mysticism and
meditation. Rabbi Barclay was also the recipient of the 2010 B’nai Zion
Distinguished Humanitarian Award.
Writings and Temple Ner Simcha:
Rabbi Barclay is a frequent Torah
commentator for The Jewish Journal as well as contributor for multiple
periodicals including The Jewish Forward, The Jewish Times, The Acorn, and PJ
Media. He authored “Sacred Relationships. Biblical Wisdom for
Deepening Our Lives Together” (2013, Liturgical Press), a Biblical commentary
that has the rare privilege of being endorsed by academics and leaders of
multiple faith traditions including rabbis, ministers, bishops, representatives
of the Vatican, and the Chancellor of Oxford.
In 2013, Rabbi Barclay founded Temple
Ner Simcha, the first non-Orthodox synagogue in the nation with no membership
dues. There is no cost for High Holiday tickets, classes, and events such as
lectures and concerts; and no financial costs for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs or tutoring.
The full service synagogue subsists entirely on donations and grants. Ner
Simcha is inclusive and non-denominational, using conservative prayer books;
but, the liturgy is often prayed in English. The temple is also the largest provider
of free High Holiday services in the nation; and the only synagogue in
California that never closed and never restricted live attendance during the
Covid pandemic.
The majority of teachings and guest
lectures are based on traditionally observant Jewish theology and
Kabbalah. This inclusive theological practice and business model has been
emulated around the country, starting a nationwide “movement” of synagogues
with “no dues”.
Rabbi Barclay has served as a peak
performance coach for athletes and business executives seeking an extra edge in
their field including Oscar and Emmy Award winners, NCAA athletes, CEOs of
multiple corporations, and the Chicago White Sox. He lectures across the
world on Judaism, cross-cultural mysticism, and Jewish understandings of
politics and ethics; and is brought around the globe to officiate life cycle
events.
