Judaism and Transcendence – Humorous FIFA Soccer Football Video from Chabad of Cape Town Africa

Lifeways > Judaism

Summary. Below is a humorous video inspired by the teachings of The Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson (pictured here).

The video offers an inspiring presentation of transcendent Judaism, which reaches deeper and broader than past expectations and experiences to transform every area of life.

Religions with traditions and teachings that date back thousands of years can be viewed as “old world” and something that simply doesn’t apply in any practical or relevant way today.

However, as this video conveys, in a fun way, the organization Chabad is a very relevant and engaging Jewish organization that reaches out to inspire all who are looking for fulfilling growth in their religious journey.

“I’m really interested to see how video can be used in a variety of capacities to educate, inspire, and entertain. I found this video interesting in that it accomplishes all three of these goals. It’s creative and well produced. The Rebbe, is able, through analogy and allegory, to use words to paint memorable pictures that convey a message. It was fun to see this message conveyed through video. I’m often surprised by Chabad’s creative use of contemporary technology, media, and video to convey ancient lessons. Chabad is a good organization for others to study and emulate – both how and what they teach. Their creativity and passion are inspiring.” ~ Gregory Johnson
