RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: PINK MAGAZINE: HILTON HEAD: MEN AND THEIR CHAIRS: JUNE 2015


RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: PINK MAGAZINE: HILTON HEAD: MEN AND THEIR CHAIRS: JUNE 2015
 
RABBI DR ARTHUR SEGAL

''MEN AND THEIR CHAIRS ''

PINK MAGAZINE JUNE 2015 HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC EDITION

Name: RABBI DR ARTHUR SEGAL

Hometown:  I'M TRENTON NJ BORN, U OF PENN BRED, AND WHEN I DIE, I'LL BE HILTON HEAD DEAD.

Career:  RETIRED ORAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST; PRESENTLY RABBI OF JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

VERY Married TO ELLEN, WITH AVIVIT KETER, AKA ''AVI, THE JEWISH PARROT'', AS OUR 'CHILD'.

Life is good because I AWAKE EACH DAY THANKING GOD FOR A NEW DAY TO BE OF MAXIMUM SERVICE TO THE DIVINE SOURCE AND TO MY FELLOWS.

My favorite motto or words to live by are:  IT USED TO BE ''DON'T JUST SIT THERE, DO SOMETHING''. IT IS NOW ''BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.''

Something about me that would surprise people is ALTHOUGH I MIGHT SEEM LIKE AN EXTROVERT, I AM REALLY AN INTROSPECTIVE  INTROVERT.

One thing I hope to see in my lifetime is PEOPLE TRULY UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL LESSON THAT WE ARE ALL EQUAL CHILDREN OF THE DIVINE, AND WHEN WE HURT, OR HATE, OR HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST ANOTHER, WE ARE ONLY HURTING OURSELVES.

One of the craziest things I've ever done is WAS IN 1986, RENTING A CIGARETTE SPEED BOAT, WITH ELLEN, ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATER WAY IN FT LAUDERDALE, AND ACCIDENTALLY RAN OVER A FLOATING DOCK.

My biggest pet peeve AT THE MOMENT IS WHEN DOING Q + A AFTER A LECTURE, GOING OFF TOPIC, AND THEN FORGETTING WHAT I WAS SPEAKING ABOUT.

If I could have a superpower I would choose PERSPICUITY

My greatest achievement (other than family) is CONTINUAL SPIRITUAL AND ETHICAL MUSAR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

What you should know about my chair (history of chair): IN 1987 ELLEN AND I DROVE PAST A CLOSED GAS STATION IN MEDFORD NJ, AND SAW A LIVING ROOM SET OF FURNITURE FOR SALE. IT WAS FROM A TRUCK FROM NC. WE BOUGHT IT ALL, AND THIS CHAIR IS PART OF THE SET.

If my chair could say something about me, it would tell you THAT I NEED TO LOOSE 15 POUNDS.

If I could offer one piece of advice it would be "I AM OFTEN ASKED 'RABBI, I WANT HAPPINESS'. I TEACH THAT WHEN WE LEARN TO DELETE THE 'I', I.E. EGO; DELETE THE 'WANT', I.E. DESIRE, WE ARE LEFT ONLY WITH HAPPINESS.''
