This atheist was very respectful towards you, Rabbi. Good interview.
@@keksi6844 You'll have to ask him.
@@Qrayon Why are you surprised ? I am an Atheist, I am subscribed to Rabbi Tovia’s channel, and I am respectful of religious people, I don’t agree with their dogma, but I respect them as human beings, the same can’t be said about the majority of religious individuals towards Atheists.
Have a nice day
@@joeycan6801 I'm not really surprised. This is just in contrast to atheists who are not respectful of others' beliefs.
@@Qrayon How about religious people not being respectful of other religious individuals from different religions or even different denominations from the same religion ? I think that for religious people that’s a much bigger issue.
Thank you
@@joeycan6801 They should be respectful too. A lot of them are, and a lot of them are not. As with atheists we can't generalize about religious people. Everybody is different.
Rabbi Singer, your patience is unbelievable. 🙌🏼💙🙏🏼
I find the message of Outreach Judaism to be very inspiring personally. My family were forced to convert in medieval times, and did they become church goers? No. They have always been fractured Catholics, believing in God but not hearing the message or applying it. I came to learn after I began conversion to Judaism that there are an estimated 15 MILLION people sharing history like mine living all over the Western Hemisphere. I want to be something like yourself Rabbi, and I want to help those people learn about their heritage and give them the chance to come back to the Jewish faith like I had. Thank you for all you do Rabbi Singer!
Bon courage !👏👏👏
God bless you, Rabbi Singer!!🇮🇱
Yashar Koach Rabbi Singer. We love you.
Yes we love you.Baruch Hashem
I’m an atheist, but I have the greatest respect for Rabbi Tovia, great video ! Thank you.
Me too. Although I don't agree with so.e thi gs he says, he has extraordinary knowledge.
The authenticity of Moses is based on the public revelation at Sinai: God revealed Himself to the entire nation of Israel, at least three million people, and proclaimed before them the Ten Commandments. The entire Jewish people personally experienced that revelation, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them, and also they heard God saying, "Moses, Moses, go tell them the following ..." They did not receive the occurrence of that event and accept it as some claim or tradition of an individual, but they experienced it themselves. That public revelation, therefore, authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of God, and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings, as God said to him, "I will come unto you in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with you and will also believe in you forever" (Exodus 19:9).
3 million people can't fit on Mount Sinai? How are you doing in physics..?@@hrvatskinoahid1048
Thank you so much Rabbi, God Almighty bless you and God Almighty bless Israel.
Rabbi Singer, this video was absolutely perfect!! I believe this video explains many of the questions people have, especially gentiles. I was not born a Jew but converted numerous years ago. So long ago that I have been a Jew longer than not and I am now a senior citizen!! I really hope that many of my gentile FB friends will take advantage of watching this video. Ya'asher Koach! I did not get the name of the "Atheist" who interviewed you, but I do feel he needs to get much credit for asking the correct questions to bring out your perfect answers. Ya'ashe Koach to the Interviewer too!
👏🏻🤍🦋🙌🏻

You're the busiest rabbi appearing on many other RUclips hosts shows. Your knowledge of scripture is phenomenal. God bless you, rabbi Tovia Singer.
He is still young he has the energy
Christians TALK about the elusive, subjective, abstract "Holy Spirit", but Rabbi Singer exudes the Holy Spirit through his actions, interactions and his loving countenance.🚸
I ❤ listening and learning from you!
We all are blessed to have you.
There is so much to learn. Thank you for all you do!
Mind Blowing! ❤
I love your mind and soul, Tovia. TANACH, the Stone Edition you suggested, is a brilliant masterpiece I treasure and read daily. Please continue sharing your knowledge and understanding of our Creator's will for all of us... regardless of race, religion, or gender.😇
As a former Confused Patrilineal who was Self-Hating due to being forced through Christianity with the Anti-Jewish NT, I wish I had the money to build a Noahide Education Center called: " Jewish Education Center for The Confused". All the big names could come.
There’s already an organisation to help non-Jews become practicing Noahides, it’s called “Brit Olam-Noahide world center” and the chairman is Rabbi Oury Amos Cherki, you can look it up

Gentiles follow the 7 Noahide laws given to Prophet Noah which does not include circumcision.
Muslims follow the 7 Noahide laws given to Prophet Noah and the circumcision covenant given to Abraham through the descendants of Ishmael.
Jews follow the 7 Noahide laws and the additional laws in the Torah given to Moses and the circumcision covenant given to Abraham through the descendants of Isaac.
@@bt-lt4os Abraham was not Jewish.
Ishmael was not Jewish.
Isaac was not Jewish.
The Tanakh Jewish scripture describes salvation without anyone needing to die for anyone's sins.
Anyone who behaves like Noah will be saved like God saved Noah.
Adam, Eve, Job, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, Josiah, Hezekiah and Daniel teach each generation that God will forgive the sins of any person who repents and corrects their behaviour meaning all such people were forgiven by God and they will be resurrected as sinless people meaning these people are examples of how God wants humans to repent and correct their behaviour.
The Torah says that the sin sacrifice is only for unintentional sin in Numbers 15:27 - 15:31 meaning intentional sin is forgiven by obeying Genesis 4:7.
Repentance started from the time of Adam and Eve where God said humans can rule over sin in Genesis 4:7.
In Isaiah 1:16 - 1:18 God tells humans to reason and know that when you repent and return to good behaviour all your sins are forgiven meaning you become sinless.
Adam and Eve were trained in the Garden of Eden until they had the knowledge and experience necessary to become the caretakers of the Earth.
The first human sin forgiven by God was the sin of Adam and Eve so that everyone knows God forgives the repenter who returns to doing good deeds.
The story of Adam and Eve and their children is teaching that humans can overcome sin in Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 4:7 meaning God rewards good behaviour.
.
To humans, God gives forgiveness which is the fruit of the tree of life.
In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve understood that humans have the capability of everlasting life represented by the tree of life in the same way as they were given knowledge of good and evil represented by the tree of knowledge meaning Adam and Eve understood the knowledge of good and evil and forgiveness of sin through repentance which existed from the beginning of time and was confirmed to later generations in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8.

Great interview, bless you ❤
💗💗💗💗 Thank you RABBI YOU ARE BEACON OF LIGHT IN SUCH A DARK CHAOTIC WORLD a light that shines 24/7
If all I knew was what Christianity teaches, I would be an atheist too.
What a gr8 & lovely interviewer. Thank u to both him, & to R Tovia Singer for yet another gr8 vid. Much to learn from it. Shalom aleichem.
Baruch Hashem
Zechariah states that we will know the messiah has come AFTER there is peace in Jerusalem. If there is still war, the messiah has not yet come.
Also, as stated at the end of the book of Malachi, the Jewish Messiah will be heralded (announced) by the Prophet Elijah. So, until we hear from from Elijah, we are still in a 'holding pattern', waiting to hear from him.
Rabbi Tovia I cannot thank you enough for this great explanation of the questions.❤❤
wow! great interview!
Very insightful interview & back and forth with both sides listening. Enjoyed hearing the rabbi's take on slavery back then since it was brought up in other videos and not answered very satisfactorily.
Great interview.
Absolutely No such thing as forcing biblical prophecy. Can’t force what God has already ordained from the beginning. Great explanations Rabbi.
Great program
Thank you both
Baruk Hashem! great interview, great questions, great answers, this is what I call being a light to the nations. There is no way I could have figured out the whole story of cursing in context. Learnt a lot. Toda Rabba Rabbi and the Questioner.
Toda Rabbi very good interview and informative.
Thank you rabbi
Rabbi is so clear and understanding in his own points, after watching his videos so much I learned so much and I think I still am gonna remain a Christian.
Gentiles need to keep the 7 Noahide laws.
Thanks Rabbi. Regards from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I enjoyed this presentation on the questions asked.
Good interview yasher koach to you both.
Rabbi Tovia is so knowledgeable and clear!
I learnt something new once again. Growing up in a christian household, there was always confusion around "slavery" in the bible. But now I know what it really was. I see all those stories in a new light now. I'm always learning new things about these stories, and it seems like there is always something new to learn about them.
And doesn't it really depend on the Hebrew rather than English interpretations of the Hebrew?
Chattel slaves in the Bible were property. They were slaves for life and were bequeathed to their children. They could be beaten as long as they didn't die within two days. That's real slavery. I wish she had pressed Rabbi Singer on this (or on anything). I'd love to hear his response about this.
Great conversation
I’m unapologetically a Christian and yet I was informed and blessed by Rabbi Tovia’s knowledge.
Nice interview.
Great questions! And of course Tovia is great as always. I really appreciate this one, in particular. I grew up as Catholic, but never had any interest whatsoever. I had very little contact with Jewish people and had no idea what a Rabbi's perspective even was. They do very little marketing.
Jews were not able to teach Gentiles the 7 Noahide laws because of persecutions.
“I’ve been to the Temple Mount, there’s no Temple there”
lol!
His dry humor and delivery cracks me up.
I don’t agree 100% with his take on what the Tanakh is saying, but I still learn a lot from him and he presents many good things to think about.
FINALLY i find someone also taking my stance on the jewish view of slavery. Some famous (not mentioning names) jewish thinkers seem to say that it isnt a good thing and the torah only speaks about it because of those times where slavery was mainstream, it had to give guidance on how to have slaves in a moral way. But that answer didn't sit well with me, and i thought it was more like a butler in recent times or a nanny, where the "slave" (such a un-nuanced translation, probably from the chrstian translators, but the easiest one to one word correlation i guess) is actually part of the family, so much so that he has to keep many of the commandments and in fact we have a commandment to make sure our children and slaves keep the shabbos, again alluding to him being part of the household. In fact in jewish law, the standard form of a slave was he actually went through a conversion process (willingly) and we have to treat him like any other jew, with love and compassion. As a rabbi i know (Rabbi Yosef Grunfeld the founder of SEED jewish outreach organisation) used to say "they say the devil is in the detail, however in judaism it is the divine we see in the detail". Thank you so much AGAIN Rabbi Singer for addressing a question which has been bothering me for some time!
Interesting about the grandmother not being a descendant of Native Americans comment. My grandma told me she was a descendant of Natives but she didn't specify where these Natives came from. I was told by relatives her mother was Cherokee and her father was Blond haired and Blue Eyed but 100% Cherokee. I took a DNA test and found out she had Native ancestry, but it was Siberian Inuit and no Native American ancestry whatsoever. Her mother came from Russia as a child but had a Russian name when she got here (Kamilla Romanova) then she later started using the name Ruth David. I'm drawn to Judaism because of them but I am aware I am not Jewish. I just like the teachings. I don't know if my great-grandma converted or not but she didn't have Jewish ancestry from what I know. At some point someone taught them Talmud because my grandma's views on the Bible, I couldn't find any other place than in the Talmud. She used to say "Look at this world. You think anybody came?". She went to church off and on but never really got into religion. A pastor witnessed to my mother when she was in her 30's and asked her if she was saved and my mom said "saved from what?". That's how much my grandma influenced our views that my mom could go to church off and on her whole life and never heard anything about Jesus saving anybody. My grandma would give her a math booklet or a pocket dictionary when they went to church. Honestly, we had no concept of denominations or religion. My Muslim friends thought I was Muslim, my Catholic friends thought I was Catholic and my Buddhist friends thought I was Buddhist.
Non-Jews have to keep the 7 Noahide laws.
Educate the atheist too
Awesome rabbi
When atheists criticize believers in God, they are usually criticizing protestant fundamentalists. The Torah also records that God commanded men would be chosen to decide cases.
I'm educated & that's why I'm an atheist.
@johnmichaelson9173 let me rephrase many people who believe they are educated lack common sense and are brainwashed by universities
Read study learn
The interviewer asked questions and was answered. Don't make it sound like some kind of triumph over him.
I use to be an atheist and I have always liked Jewish people, they always say incredibly wonderful things. Many are wise but if not so knowing, they are often kind. Rabbis Singer and Skobac are the best as are the other rabbis and sitting, listening, I often think this is the belief system I want in my life.
All of them are good at spotting lies, so one walks away with understanding if nothing else.
A good God + a good people = a good religion
A good God + a good people = a good relation
Really?
How did God treat innocent woman and children....remember Korach's family.
It says in Ezek 18 that now one else could die for your sins....but Israel children and woman had to die for their fathers sin!
When it comes to the nations, God cared less for innocent children that could not even make a inlightend choice yet and just killed them all. Is that a good God?
Read Num 31 and see how little virgin girls is treated the same way as the animals.....is that a good god?
We should read our bibles critically and ask questions and take it for what it is.
In Deut 32:8,9 we see that YHVH was a lesser god that received only a small portion (Jacob) as inheritance from the almighty god (Elyon).
YHVH is only Israels god. All the other nations received their owns gods.
The translation in Tanach is also wrong in that scripture where is says " according to the sons of Israel" It makes NO sense at all
The correct wording is " according to the sons of God" (Elyon)
So how many gods did Israel have in that scripture? A father God (Elyon) and his son god (YHVH). They are NOT the same God.
Like Christianity there is so much confusion in the Hebrew Bible
You should continue asking Rabbi Tovia Singer to help you find answers to your brilliant questions. 😇
Take Rabbis advice, he protects other Jews from not converting to Christianity. But then all the pagans tought the same after this. So self protection from any foreign and domestic enemy or even "friend" we need to protect ourselves.
As always, Rabbi Tovia’s deep and broad understanding explains what most of never understood when reading the Bible by ourselves.
MAY GODS BLESSINGS BE UPON HUROON AS ...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, I love Rabbi Singer.
(do you think anything sunk in?) 😊
In the gemara the rabbis still argue about whether JOB ever even happened. Many meforshim agree that it's allegorical & never happened.
There's also arguments about whether that last chapter was added later.
Thank you for the beautiful message dearest rabbi Tovia Singer.
May Hashem bless you and your family materially, emotionally and spiritually.
May you be blessed with health joy and peace.
Baruch Hashem!!

With respect Rabbi, Judaism has changed quite a bit (or “evolved”) in its practical application since the 1st Beit HaMikdash (and earlier)
All great questions from this guy. A little more time with the Rabbi he'll be one of us 😂
Hello Rabbi Singer. I enjoy studying your teaching very much. Please expound and clarify what the trending Rabbi meant when he interpreted the verse in Genisis as meaning the deeply melanated not being part of the new world? Can you expound, please?
What?
What trending rabbi? What was said?
The true identity of a person is Jew or Gentile.
i love this interview who shows the beauty and intelligence who are in the tora which you never get discover born in a Christian culture and belief
Reb Tuviah isn't Job being before the time of the torah a minority opinion? I remember learning it in Megillah & Sotah.
I'm a Baha'i - a Messianic Muslim. I've spoken with the Rabbi. He's a jewel of a human being.
I'm am experimental philosopher and systems theorist.
I'm wrestling at present with an existential crisis: in 2020 I received a direct Revelation from God in exact manner prohibited by my faith to believe in.
I'm preparing to go public with this on the 8th.
After I do go public, I intend to resume conversations with the Rabbi.
God has a plan for him. He's doing good work. He's not combating Christ; he's combating Antichrist, though he doesn't know it.
Judaism forbids new religions.
Combating a fictional character?
Interviewer - Re: your thinking Job got a “new” wife This is not necessary a different person but after going through everything perhaps she became “new” in her heart. She changed so much in that way she was so different that she could be considered new.
I don’t know if this is the correct interpretation because I cannot read Hebrew for myself although I am Jewish
I hope he understands mythology mixed in with Greek and other cultures. Just a religion of culture and faith . ❤
I wonder who is being talked about in Isaiah 14.
Baruch HaShem 🙏🏽✡️🌈
I love Rabbi Singer but Druze, Parsi (Zoroastrian) and Samaritans are also ethnoreligions. I'm confused why he doesn't count them.
Also add Yezidi and Sikh to that list.
But he's talking about Judaism and how it's passed on. If a child is born out of a union between a non-Jewish mother and a Jewish father, the child is not Jewish.
@@ddus4155 that’s not what they’re saying about Ruth.
@@Nkosi766There were no Jews in the time of Ruth, there was Israelites. And, Any person that accepted Israelite laws and God became part of the Israelite/Jewish nation.
The 12 sons of Jacob, (the Israelites had Nobody to marry that was an Israelite, except their own sister Dinah) The 12 sons of Jacob married 3 Canaanites, 2 Arameans, 1 Egyptian, 3 Mesopotamians, 2 Ishmaelites. There was no Israelites to marry!!
He is incorrect, the Druze, Yazidis, Samaritans, Greek Orthodox are also ethno-religions.
He just talking gibberish about slavery
I reckon heaps of these atheists go home and go
"Sorry Lord. I was showing off in front of my mates"
The purpose of Religion is not to validate or invalidate the existence of G-d. Rather the purpose of Religion is to answer the question... In what manner should we, who believe in G-d be in relationship with G-d. I believe in G-d and that entirely belief is based upon science.
Imagine there's no Satan (by Brayshaw)
Atheism is a theology via default anyways.
First
I always say this religious people can justify anything when it comes to a god that they believe in
Bro I thought you were helping Jews return to Christ! Works both ways I guess, anyhow interesting discussion!
How does he explain Ruth?
Convert
How does it explain Truth and the Holey Goat Leg Wave Offering of Leviticus?
@@screamtoasigh9984: Actually, anyone is welcome to convert if they wish, after the proper learning with an Orthodox Rabbi, but nobody is obligated to convert, since they can live by the 7 Noahide laws, established for non-Jews, which Noah followed.
Watch all his videos . The Ruth story is explained when he goes through the story of Lot's daugthers.
Lemme see if I comprehend: if you’re a Jew through your mother, a convert is a stranger,( I think that’s what he said) now Ruth children are Jews because she’s a covert . I still don’t get it.
The Africans are not decendets of Ham (Cham) they are decendets of Kush.
What happens to convert that converted through conservative orthodox? Then stop practicing because of the racism amongst oshkonizzi , sephardic, And so forth politics in religion and religion and politics. I still love judicism in a history. I still study. I'm just not in the synagogue on chabis or on holidays
If PEOPLE can turn you away from Orthodox Judaism than do not convert. You are not required to convert. Just practice the Noahide Laws. Because to be a genuine JEW (not reform or conservative) but orthodox Jew requires total commitment. No half way.
I know women who have had 3 conversions, reform, conservative and orthodox. And been married 3x!
At 5:13 the atheist looks like he saw a ghost
Great questions from the so called atheist
I have a question about God and the suffering servant in Isaiah…
52:13
Behold, my servant will succeed; he will be exalted and become high and exceedingly lofty.
53:10
Hashem desired to oppress him and he afflicted him; if his soul would acknowledge guilt, he would see offspring and live long days and the desire of Hashem would succeed in his hand.
Does this mean that the servant will be very good and that God is hurting him and wants him to acknowledge his guilt?
Like God wanting him to see him as evil for hurting good?
Who is this atheist?
There are 2 different types of slaves.
The one tipe was Jewish people who was in dept and they were taken in a Jewish household .....and could be released after 7 years is so wished.
BUT::
the nations slaves were bought and their children were born in captivity and were slaves to their owners children......this is a sad thing. If the father of the captive children were freed, he had to leave his family behind(wife included) as slaves.....so how is that for family building?
Most of what you say is correct except the last part seems a bit mixed up assuming i read it it how you intended. This rule of the going out free and having to leave the children behind ONLY applies with the first type of servant, the jewish born one who is released after 6 years. In that time the master has permission to give the jewish servant a "shifchah cannanis" which is a female servant of the SECOND category, in order to have children which will then be part of the household of the owner. It is with this intention that in the 6 years he may do that with the knowledge that they will not stay with him when he leaves and in fact according to jewish law they are not even considered his children and completely hers. I hope that clarified thing for you at least a bit. My attitude generally when it comes to these passages, is that the Torah was given by God and the default is that it is correct and moral, so if i dont see it straight away, i am happy in the mean time to leave it as a question and hopefully one day i get an deeper insight. What strengthens my approach in this is that so many times i see this play out, whether in moral questions or even very technical questions in the talmud, assume they are right and then it seems so much easier practically to find the answer. Great question and Shalom!
So you're basing the morality of the torah on modern times, instead of a time when all the nations raped, pillaged, stole, & murdered indiscriminately.
I could go on & on, but this is not the proper format to have a lengthy discussion.
Judaism is the most moral, humane, & feminist religion that ever existed.
There was No curse of Ham, Canaan was cursed, not Ham. And, Ham didn't see Noah Naked, Ham slept with Mrs. Noah (Naamah), this act produced Canaan, that's why Canaan was cursed, not Ham.
Based on the stories of Abraham, I find it impossible to conclude that Biblical slavery was a good thing. There are rules for buying foreign infants as slaves and then ritually cutting part of them off. Slaves are born within homes of their masters. Slaves are drafted into tribal warfare. Kings Abimelech was punished by God by having his female slaves made infertile (albeit temporarily) -- implying that it was expected for men to have children with their slaves, and losing that reproductive potential would be a punishment to the master. Biblical slavery is not just a contract to fulfill a debt, or to help out a struggling person. Calling this good, or trying to spin it as such, can only be done by ignoring the way these people were actually treated in the text.
Very serious interviewer. Possibly not enjoying the company of other Atheist. It's not nice of me to say: "you don't seem like other Atheists". 😊
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, great are the holy commandments from God! True are the miracles God has performed since the first verse of the holy bible...and the beginning of time in heaven and on earth!, ( i dont understand why aethiest exist, i dont understand their questions ,their doubts or confusion, the truth is God is God!)... God has all answers! ...while the aethiest and humans think they need to know all things, many humans claim they know truth from the beginning. Many claim they know the ending, others claim they know the times we are living through! With las makers and church and state leaders all over this earth, the Egyptians followed the Pharoah and his laws and traditions. Today many follow the law makers and traditions of the secular history, many aethiest know they and their ancestors created holidays and created laws and created jobs and items used today! Many aethiest have prosperity and security on earth, i have always felt sorry or sad for aethiest, but yet they have a purpose ,i just dont know what their purpose is! Maybe aetheist are their to bring a certain level of free will. Or maybe they exist to show what happens what their ancestors sin greatly against God! I will never understand why anyone want to prove to an aethiest that God exists, its up to them to prove to God that they are worthy to exist! ...the Pharoah and Egyptians enslaved the children of God! Many pagans followed foriegn or man made gods! Many today claim their dead loved ones now have wings or watch over them from the other world of the dead! ? Thats another strange thing to say! ( i 100% only want God to watch over me! In fact, i cry to God always to be blessed to worship and praise him! Why? To worship and praise him!)...jews are givin a great gift, many think their judiasm or their life is truly a gift, the true gift is truly the fact that God does exist! The great gift to all heaven and earth is the gift that God and only God is God! Let that truly sink into your heart! Really think of the fact! That heaven and earth was created from God! But you can have all heaven and earth, the broken heart of a person who loves God, would never heal, if God was not God! ...any claim they will walk on gold streets, and have mansions! Why not think greater! Every star could have its own planet for those who truly love God! But even with that , its would still torment the heart and mind of anyone who loves God is the true God does not love them!
How important is tribal identity? Is it significant when one knows they are jewish through their mother, but their father is not jewish?
They become an Israelite. A general Jew. It only matters if you're a levity or priest today. You have a few extra ceremonies & rituals.
I'm a levite. Even have the genes. Everybody else is an Israelite today.
@@johnberger8817 good point
Or running from the inquisition
There are no examples of patrilineal descent in the Hebrew Bible. The interviewer was probably referring to the wife of Moses and the wife of Joseph, but this was before the Torah was given. So there were no Jews then as we know them today. At Mount Sinai the entire people went through conversion, as detailed in Rabbinic sources.
The membership of a born-Jewish person in one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel is patrilineal.
Im sorry but...4,000 years would consist of about 130 generations. And Forty generations ago (800 years)....
....and??! On the Hebrew calendar, we are now in the year 5784. The Gregorian calendar that we use in secular society is false, since it only counts time from the birth of the "Jesus" character, when clearly there was time BEFORE his birth! I started to notice this discrepancy, even while I was still an Evangelical Christian.

I've long thought the Book of Job, whether intentionally or not, was a great argument against "karmic" thinking. The idea of karma from Eastern religions, that good or bad coming to you means you deserved it. We have a man who is scripturally defined as righteous. He does nothing wrong, to offend God, & does everything right. In fact, he continues to do everything right throughout his experiences in the story. & yet he loses a lot & suffers terribly. His neighbors / community deduce, wrongly, that he must deserve all the bad somehow. That's the thing that comes close to fully breaking Job, all the community guessing he must deserve all this suffering, somehow. The narrative always seemed like a parable against thinking those who suffered or lived poor lives deserved it, and vice versa, that people who were fortunate & wealthy deserved those things. Or, at least, that people shouldn't jump to those very karmic conclusions.
A challenge refines a person and his faith, and humbles the heart, and thereby brings a person closer to God. Therefore, in truth, a test is a great benefit for a person.
@@hrvatskinoahid1048 I totally agree about challenges being opportunities for people to grow & improve. My main point was that out of all the challenges, the truly heinous, unnecessary challenge, the 1 that kind of broke Job, was all his neighbors falsely concluding that he must have been guilty / deserved the things that happened to him & his family. Instead of thinking these were challenges meant to test Job's mettle, they indulged in the same dangerous, toxic "karmic" belief that bad things happen to people because they did something wrong (& often, that good things happen to people because they're righteous). That's why I think the Job story, in addition to any other messages, also contains a clear warning about why we shouldn't automatically jump to karmic conclusions, that people must have deserved the things that happen to them (bad, or good).
Rab. Tovia, you're awesome. But, I know the lyrics are uplifting and glorifies haShem, but the song at the end of all your vids, has become essentially your "end credits theme song." Please switch it up. Throw in some Yidcore, NoFX or the Clash!
Wonderful exposition of jewish hashkafah, but the title is clickbait. The rabbi wasn't "pressed" at all. It was softball after softball. And while it's true that slavery in the bible didn't resemble in any way shape or form the idea of slavery that we have from the terrible treatment that african americans endured, it's not entirely accurate in my humble opinion and limited knowledge compared to the Rabbi, that slaves were just "people without a family joining a family". Chattel slavery was permitted (buying slaves) and nowhere in the Torah is it written that it was limited only to orphans. Slaves were bought, traded and inherited. The topic needs more explanation. Also, the word "arur" definetely has a negative connotation. We say "Arur haman, baruch mordechai" in Purim, and I've never heard that we are wishing to "shed light" or "illuminate" the wicked genocidal Haman.
Hi Rabbi. Is there any way of Respecting Sexuality as a Gay Nohide?
Way before the jewish culture
was the fact that he is an atheist even relevant? he was just asking you questions based on other conversations/ideas floating around. i didn't see any relevance in your answers to his nonbelief. seems like a clickbait move.
Please Rabbi, explain that the Mesiah if he has to be parental to David and for to be a Jew all need to be born from a Jewish mother, then if the problem is that the Messiah has to be from the seed of David, if not then the Messiah does not have to be a Jew.
to be from the seed of David he can be anyone, does not have to be a Jew.
No messiah Ben David has to be a Jew, he goes to the temple and makes sacrifices, also the rambam states that the messiah cannot be a convert
