What Does Judaism Expect of Non-Jews? - Do Non-Jews Go to Heaven?
Shanah tovah u'metukah, Rabbi! Thank you for this video
I think this responds to Irwin: The Judean Civil War was a conflict between King Alexander Jannaeus and the Pharisees, the dominant political party in the Great Sanhedrin at the time. Alexander was supported by the minority Sadducees, while the Pharisees under Nasi Joshua ben Perachiah were briefly backed by the Seleucid Empire. -Source: Wikipedia

Just walked by this video and watched it. My greetings, shalom to all. After listening to the discussion, although I also don’t agree with some explanations especially concerning the words and meaning of the Rambam, I will have say, what a joy, how beautiful is Torah knowledge and principles. Especially the last part when the Rabbi said there are many opinions about the details, but the focus is to do the right things. That is so beautiful! That is really a light! 🎉
It is in G-d's nature to give laws to bring order to creation, demonstrated in the Ten Commandments and: Law of gravity Law of thermodynamics Laws of motion Law of conservation of energy Hubble's Law of Cosmic Expansion (la'asot) Archimedes' Buoyancy Principle Coulomb's law Maxwell's equations ...
Does G-d play fair? Pharaoh's heart was inclined to do what is evil. So, if circumstances pushed him to make a decision, would his intellect or desire rule? Intellectually, Pharaoh should have figured out he was fighting G-d. Intellectually, he was facing a bad business decision by giving these workers so much time off, possibly losing them and crippling the economy. How do you balance that dilemma? The heart gets tested. What is moe important? Who is really in charge? After all, Pharaoh thinks he's a god. G-d already knew which way Pharaoh would go. He hardened Pharaoh's heart by forcing him into a choice
I took the three fold repetition as the eternalness of G-d, represting past, present, and future.
GOD, ALLAH, ELAH.
Thank you so much for including the Israel photos!! Blessed are you, O Lord our G-d, who daily loads us with benefits; the G-d of our salvation! Our G-d is the G-d of salvation, and unto G-d alone belong escapes from death. Selah (Blessing i adapted from various translations of Psalm 68:19.)
My understanding of not mixing wool and linen is that it is a daily reminder for Jews to not mix with non-Jews, yo the end that idolatrous ways were not picked up. It was about keeping purity If that is the case, it elevates the Rabbi's point wherein it is idone purely for G-d. It would seem like slipping on that garment would be like stepping into covenant each day.
Well, I'm going to pile on to this subject and maybe bring it back to the group. So, what happens if humans operate their thoughts in the same manner as their computer with implantable brain-computer interfaces? -The difference between kadesh and kadosh is the daled. That small detail creates the opposite. This is not a coincidence, as this technology can help or harm.. -The Bible chooses not to tell us much about the nephilim. The Nephilim were, in all interpretations, human hybrids. AI humans would be too. Did the Nephillim cause the Flood? -“Good angels or fallen angels” are created beings and although they are spiritual, they have free will but not in the same manner as us. While we vasilate between good and evil, they can only totally do exactly what they have been commanded to do, or not. Would IA be any different? -If you consider that a prosthetic neuronal memory silicon chip can hold really mundane information that the human brain needs to take time to memorize, how would this affect bar mitzvah study? And, might business want to use a flow chart type decision making process to govern how employees interact with customers and coworkers? Does this not usurp the will, which makes humans unique?
While I like this discussion, you really ought to get your material and your thoughts together better. It is frustrating to listen to someone who constantly hesitates, stops and has to go back over his material over and over. In other words, prepare better!
I wonder if The minimum of a prayer group should be 2 maybe even 1, the leader & the followers, the teacher & student, the parent & child, Moses & Aaron, the mouth & the voice
42:50 hit the nail on the head
I intentionally listened at bedtime, just to get a sense of the channel. I knew i would drift off. I had no idea i would enjoy your discussion so much that each of you would be seated at a table together in my dream. I was going to join you but as i pulled my chair up (a chair i brought from home), i was distracted, and movers working nearby packed it unto their truck and drove off. 😂 That's when i woke up. I listened this morning and found a wonderful discussion, as my subconscious had already suggested.
I am truly honored to be "the rabbi of your dreams!" Thanks so much for your kind words.

Is Judaism a dynasty?
Judaism is a religion and it is a people, but it is certainly not a dynasty
@@michaellotker8963 What is the definition of a dynasty?
Here's the dictionary definition. succession of rulers of the same line of descent (see DESCENT sense 1a) //a dynasty that ruled China for nearly 300 years 2: a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time //born into a powerful political dynasty //a baseball dynasty
You could say that the kingship of Israel is intended to be a dynasty. But there hasn't been a ruler from the House of David in Israel for about 2,300 years
@michaellotker8963 Remember that Joseph, the husband of Mary, was from the house of David.

Reform with many tattoos. Always enjoy this topic of discussion as it's a more nuanced topic than most within Judaism seem to realize....Lots of misconceptions repeated over time.
Is it true that what is now called the church was started by a Jew who was born and raised in the house of David?
Christianity is a religion about Jesus, a Jew who lineage is traced to the line (house) of David. Probably the person most responsible for the early starting and success of Christianity was a Jew, Saul of the city of Tarsus, who changed his name to Paul (now known as St. Paul) after he had a vision of Jesus after Jesus' death.
Great video! Interesting to see that the ketubah's purpose has changed so greatly, yet is still so traditional

The Jewish Messiah is the only way/bridge between the true God of Israel and us, the goyim. Jesus/Yeshua.
The Talmud is falsely claiming that an angel of Esau blessed Jacob and gave him the name Israel.
It's not the Talmud but the Torah/Bible in Gen. 32:29 and Gen. 35:8-9
@michaellotker8963 Nowhere does it mention an angel of Esau. Sorry, I meant to say an angel of Esau in the post
@@WorshipperOfLife I find a reference to Rashi (11th century CE) to the angel of Esau. I did not find this in the Talmud. See also, Howard Schwartz's "Tree of Souls" page 359.
@@michaellotker8963 The Zohar teaches that the struggle between Jacob and the patron angel of Esau was a spiritual one; Esau did not want Jacob to take the birthright and the Torah that accompanied it. The angel was attempting to remove the Torah from Jacob’s ownership, taking it out of his hands and heart.
@@WorshipperOfLife Fascinating. I even saw a myth to the effect that Jacob himself was an angel and the angel Uriel was sent to tell him that it was time for him to return to heaven.
Very informative
Judaism doesn’t seek converts, but it is still a prostelyzing religion in a different way.
how?
I'm not sure what "different way" you mean but I agree with you in that Judaism understands our mission to bring the world to the God of Abraham. And we are succeeding with Christianity and Islam making up some 50% of humanity with Jews as 0.2% of humanity.
@@michaellotker8963 the Talmud is not the book of Islam or Christianity, they have their own religions which are based in some part to an ancient Canaanite/israelite tradition. I encourage you to study Jewish history and see who the Jewish people are. Unless ofc you know already and this is you spreading the same Judaism that you lie about everywhere
Lol...Some "Demand" of nonJews...There is the issue. How has that worked out in the past for them I wonder 🤔? I mean...The ones that take $$$ and took $$$ lots of it from them still turned them in during WW2 all over Europe...If I were Jewish, I'd be Christian or just a non-Jewish person right now...Jews Expecting anything from NonJews is perhaps the first delusion they can fall for...particularly if they have to pay big bucks to be loved 🥴... Honest people expect nothing from anyone else, honesty is the direct result of a Free and Just society, where Honesty is taught without any need to be schooled...It is a way of life.
While I found this information insightful, You all miss a very important group of people, Those of us who reject Christianity and it’s outright idolatry and we are those who are more pious than all Muslims in all manners and we know the Torah, we also speak the heavenly fathers Qodesh name. Yah. All of this come about because of Yahushua,Emmanuel who has brought us life. We know what is in the “Age to come” Olam Haba. Bo Yahushua! Rev 18:4
You don’t get to “expect” anything. Because Christians, Muslims, etc. don’t owe you anything. But here’s what you owe THE WORLD… Doing whatever is in your power to stop the Mass murder and Genocide in Gaza.
Sorry we don’t care expect from me are insane arrogant. Lord withdraw this video
Prayers for people who sound as ign-rt as you. If you don't like the video, stop watching and don't waste time commenting.
@@DixieC-vj2sg stop being a jerk.my life has been associated with the jewish community in NY for over 60 yrs. My siblings are all married to jews my sister twice my daughter is half jewish. I have never had any difficulty with any jewish person I have met and actually found myself at age 68 in a potentially horrifying position on north side road in Prospect Park of having to intervene when some insane rastafarian began harassing two very sweet orthodox jewish teens right around the headquarters of the headquarters of rabbi schneerson and would have taken the risk and dealt with him telling the boys it was not safe for them to be there and not to do again except in peak hours And you ? It is an unnecessarily provocative header perhaps misunderstood. You have received from me nothing that anyone has a "right" to expect We are ancient americans (1635 AD) and there are many things I have perceived the secular jewish community doing which I feel is not in the best interest of my country but i still believe this is their right and continue in difficult circumstances to openly defend the absolute right of israel to exist and flourish . You might ask people such as myself and family accepting jews as intimate family members what we have a right to expect from you I lived in Park slope for decades glad to have left and had no well deserved schandenfreude watching the progressive jews in their disgraceful political outbursts. Most recent the number congregating at schumer's house on PPW over gaza.
Beautiful to see Noahides developing their relationship with Hashem. I recommend the "Brit Shalom" guide book . אשריכם
Micah 3, Isaiah 3, Nahum 3, Zephaniah 3, nothing new under The Son, Isaiah 46, all His pleasures will be done
Don' t know.But I expect of you to stop commiting genocide and Apartheid against Palestinians.
judism is communism they expect you to die or be a slave read up on NOAHIDE LAWS people
Excellent discussion, thank you!
Despite the fact that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, chose them so that the world would come to the knowledge of Him from the children of Israel. So if they are increasingly closed in on themselves, and on top of that they treat this election/calling/purpose restricted to the format of a religion, and not in effectively and personally knowing the God of their forefathers, I guess we can say that Jews-Judaism are not only confused on their call and identity at this point in history, but at the same time taking pride on the monopoly of God. In other words, one can only know and serve the God of Israel through them, their rules, their rulership so on and so forth. That seems way off the target and a paradox. PS: The gospel of Matthew 23:15 suggests that at least in the time of Jesus, scribes and Pharisees were very active in proselytism, unlike what was exposed at the beginning of the video, as being the modus operandi of Judaism throughout history.
The thing that really puzzles me is why anyone other than narcissists would want to worship such a nasty, supremacist, petty, warmongering god who also hates women and every person who wasn't born into the Jewish book cult.
Check out emunabeams
at the bottom of Mt Horeb/Sini. 10 Covenant Commandments we given to the 12 Tribe nation of ישראך/𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋, as conveyed via Masha, of the tribe of Lawy... There is zero mentionings of the verbiage and or the term of judaism, found anywhere in the Thorah. So by what or who's authority, does the word (Judaism) originate? The Thorah stipulates that The shabat of Lawy is the pinnacle Shabat, inclusive with the son's of Ahran. Only the seed of Dawd is distinguished out of the shabat of Yahudah (not Judah)... Also:There is no rabbinical order to boot. only the Son's of Ahran... Also all yahudym are supposed to have full beards...
You are touching on an important point. Judaism, as practiced for the last 2000 years is not simply the religion of the Torah or the Hebrew Bible. It is based on these but interpreted through the lens of the Talmud and the rabbis of 1500-2000 years ago.
@@michaellotker8963 USA, hasn't been colonized for 2000 yrs. The state of Israel has only existed since 1943-47. The Talmud is a an unofficial fabrication of the Ashke-Nazi mamazr son's of Yaphath and has zero certified standing. Seeing as its publication is from a sect of individuals who are not of the nation of Yashar-Al. Judaism is a facade and a farce, that does not exist in the Thorah. Hence it is as contrived as The New Testament and The Koran. All of which was fabricated by the makers of the Gutenberg Press: Case Point ~
@@michaellotker8963 This same interpretations led the nation to accespt a false messiach (Bar Kochba) and consequent desolation. For that to happen, a monumental theological juggling act had to be done. Such as the "inspired interpretation" that Prophet Daniel needed to be demoted from his office of one of the greatest prophet of Israel haha because he wasn't right about the precise date he set for the arrival of the messiach... and because of that the jewish calendar was changed on purpose (erasing 200+ years from it, changing times and seasons. Ask ur Ribbi), what else... condeming thousands of fellow jews to disgrace and as enimies of the nation because they believed Yeshua was the messiach and therefore did not helped Bar Kochba on his messianic rebelion (Similar stigma follows the jews followers of Yeshua to this day)... what else.. some of the Hashem ordained leviticus feasts just convenientily removed from jewish culture (because it points direct to an inconvenient rabinical problem). What else.. Jews r not allowed to think for themselves, any possible interpretation of the Tanach needs to be made by them (just like middle ages Catolicism BTW). I mean.. the issues are endless.. feels almost like a good intentioned non-levitical conspiratorial political-religious group. But they r great in keeping culture, history, knowledge etc, and apparently this covers everything else.🤷♂
Heavens and Hells are jurisdictional to their correspondant religion. That is how Administration of the Afterlife works. The Christian Hell is only for Christians (they are very wrong thinking that is for non Christians), and Jewish Gehinom is only for Jews and Noahides.
People ask me "What do Jewish believe about the after life?" My response: "I don't know - go ask them." We have many teaching about the afterlife (and they don't agree with each other - such as resurrection and reincarnation). I love that Judaism makes no specific demands on your beliefs. Only your actions.
@@michaellotker8963 Those who would deny the resurrection or claim some kind of Christian reincarnation are textbook heretics, not "Christians."
Only followers and believers of Jesus who are obedient to his teaching will go to heaven!
Christianity doesnt even teach that.
@@WH6FQE Pl refer to the famous saying of Jesus: John14:6. He is teaching us that he is the way, the truth and the life!
@@sulongenjop7436 I do not believe at all that he actually said, that as you can tell from his actions and other things that he said that he did not even believe that way. He never thought he was a future savior, he thought he was going to be king and save his people from Roman occupation then. He said that his apostles would sit on 12 thrones over the 12 tribes to help him rule over Israel. He expected that to happen THEN. All of that futuristic stuff, along with the virgin birth narrative was added in afterwards when he was killed and they couldn't figure out how to make sense of it. Look at how different the "Christian" teachings of Paul are than what Yeshua actually taught. The "church" started adding in pagan beliefs and Greek mythology so it would be easier for gentiles to accept and believe.
@@sulongenjop7436 Plus remember how the "christians" condemned the Jewish followers of Yeshua as heretics for refusing to accept the new changes and pagan additions and holding to the teachings of Yeshua and the 12 apostles. They even forced them out of Jerusalem.
I like the idea that I believe Catholics embrace that "No one comes to the Father except through me" can mean that even us Jews who don't accept Jesus can have Jesus "endorsement" as good people based on how we act.
Brothers not Borthers
My duty as a Christian is to support my Jewish Borthers/Sisters and stand with Israel, Am Yisrael Chai !
Thank you and God bless you!
What about your Palestinian brothers?
Bad move as zionists hate christisns why back em
judism is communism they expect you to die or be a slave read up on NOAHIDE LAWS they hate you your church lies to you
You can't be serious! Jesus was never recognized by jewish religion. You should support humanity. And in this moment Israel is the contrary to humanitarian, it is slaughtering children.
Jews do not believe in heaven!
I watched the video rabbi great session
Hi Rabbi I watched the video
Hi rabbi just watched this
That's a good point, except the comet occurred in 197 0 probably before Sasha Cohen was born.
the person who asked to see your horns may have been making reference to the comedic character 'borat' played by sacha baron cohen. he repeatedly makes reference to jewish horns along with many other strange powers/characteristics he attributes to them.
Wonderful! I watched this two months ago and I forgot to bookmark the video and save to my playlist, and in the search bar of youtube history unless the title of the video is the exact, i don't know why it fails sometimes or many times to find by keywords. I found the video in my google activity history with CTRL+F, Baruch HaShem, this lesson is a key to make people realize that Kabbalah helps us to become more and more His servants by knowing what we need to do, by the unification of The Name, same as now we are in sefirat haomer, the prayer starts with "l'Shem Yichud". Chag Pesach Sameach!
Just completed this video. Great discussion on the use of Free Will by God and how we interact and interpret God. Is he present still, or is he standing back and letting us figure it out.
