Is Aviv Geffen continuing to grow stronger? After this weekend's news interview with Dana Weiss, in which Geffen made statements about a close relationship between the ultra-Orthodox and the secular, and received support for the attacks as well, comes another video in which he talks about his renewed vision of Judaism.

Geffen was invited earlier this week to a private event at the home of Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro for a discourse on brotherhood and reconciliation. Among those in attendance were intellectuals, medicine, IDF champions and leaders of the secular and ultra-Orthodox public.

In a video that quickly became viral and began to circulate on the Internet, Geffen appears to be holding a microphone and a rather long monologue, sharing with the attendees in the room his doctrine about the rift between secular and ultra-Orthodox, how he as a self-proclaimed atheist recently came to the realization that he had to change his way of thinking, his world view on immigration To his son's teachings and what he intends to do to ensure that schism does not get worse.

"I am an atheist and a secular, but I do have questions about life all the time. We have reached a very dangerous polarization. Divide us, I argue, behind all this was something very cleverly formulated and know how to separate us with each other, brothers and sisters. I couldn't say enough, "shared the room.

"Even in my Jewish roots, when the sons of Dylan will be bar mitzvah in July, he has many friends who do not want to go to Torah, immigration to the Torah seems something completely unnecessary. So he tells me, why? But you are a secular atheist, you are Aviv Geffen, "the singer said of the conversation he had with his eldest son. 

"I said, something in me thinks that it will indeed rise to the Torah. And here is some connection that is much deeper, than any politician, there is some affinity and need to come back together."

Towards the end of the discussion, Geffen shared with the attendees the understanding that this is not an easy or simple process and he himself does not yet know the correct way to take it to achieve the desired results on the ground.

"I do work on how to do it. There are a lot of problems in the secular world. The most pain for me in Corona, when I heard a friend of mine who looked smart, when we talked about the Corona he told me, yes, it's all over, only the dead are dead. It was a red light bulb. 

"I said we must have reached the lows of humanity among us, only the Dossians are dead, I mean, the most despicable speech and the most humiliating to me, but this is the speech. Say it is rare and only he thinks about it, I say by the way, it is also bilateral from the ultra-Orthodox direction to the secular, we will be Here's something very, very dangerous. "
