After Hours with Rabbi Yaron Reuven (39)

any questions you add one the animal is not keeping shabat the animal is owned and controlled by human being so the human being will decide if the animal is going to carry or not the cow doesn't go to the owner says you know what can you put like six seven sacks of wheat on my back please it feels good it doesn't do that no there's no cow that I know of in history that ever asked the manager or the owner to say put some sacks on my back or put some bells on my ears there's no cow that ever did that not even in the so the cow obviously Its Behavior is manipulated and influenced by its owner so if the cow is carrying that's because the owner put that on it therefore if it's carrying it's in essence the owner carrying if the donkey's carrying it's the owner carrying if the car is driving the owner is driving same thing whereas a non-jew who keep Shabbat is violating the laws of the Torah one of them being that he's not allowed to create a new religion you're not allowed to create a new religion there's only Judaism available in the world world or being a noahide everything else is falsehood Christianity Catholicism Islam Buddhism and the other 80,000 Cults and sects in the world they're all complete idolatry and falsehood you're not allowed to be part of any of those religions each one of us praise to hem and thanks every every day to hm you're supposed to thank hm every single day that he didn't make you one of those confused people that lives in one of these wrong sects of religions unfortunately most of us don't even know what it means to be a Jew that's what we have the but either way when a non-jew decides to take the Jewish gift the gift that gave to specifically called Shabbat and keep it the rambam says he is creating a new religion and creating a new religion is forbidden in a tah by anybody for Jew or non-jew the second thing is is that he's considered a thief he's considered a thief because he's taking the gift that hm specifically gave to as the says says to M I have a big present in my treasure chest and its name is Shabbat meaning for who the Covenant between me and you he says in the T the COV is between me and you who is you you is am is so the gift from the treasure chest from is for not for everybody if he said for everybody then everybody can keep Shabbat but if he said it's it's between me and you then automatically they're not allowed to keep Shabbat so by them keeping Shabbat that it's considered stealing now Noah the says Noah dies for even a even though he has fewer laws than a Jew that has 620 laws 613 from the last seven from the rabbis the decrees are different for each one meaning the punishment for violating each one is different for stealing you have to pay double for killing it's a death penalty for killing a uh cow or an animal you have to pay for it for killing a human it's a death penalty for violating Shabbat death penalty accidental violation of Shabbat it's a Corban it's a sacrifice and so on and so forth but for a noahide any of sins any sin they make any sin whether it's stealing or being with a married woman or idolatry or not having a court system any sin is always death penalty so them stealing Shabbat is a Heavenly death penalty it's a Heavenly death penalty so anyone that is a Noah that listens to my shim don't play with fire don't play with fire and keep something that you're not allowed to keep thinking that you're doing right break Shabbat you're supposed to I'm not saying you should you're supposed to treat it like any other day in the world you want to have a party on Shabbat you want to have a nice meal on Shabbat you want to have guess over on Shabbat enjoy no problem but don't refrain from doing the the the certain acts that you're forbidden to to stop don't act like a Jew if you're not a Jew if you want to be a Jew convert oh but it's difficult so what I don't understand the converts that say oh it's difficult it took me two years 4 years 50 years 100 years if you really want to be a Jew what are you complaining about what difference does it make what difference does it make that it takes a long time or that it's difficult you're going to live this way for the rest of your life to be a Jew is difficult and to follow the laws is not the easiest thing in the world we have yet so what are you complaining about the fact that it's difficult this is life if it's difficult for you and you're thinking about how difficult it is and how long it's going to take then you're not ready to be a Jew my friend you're not ready to be a Jew you just like the thought of being a Jew and you're part of this Mish you have lust not love you have lust not love you have Lust For for Judaism not the love of Judaism because someone that loves Judaism someone loves to he's never going to waste a single second thinking he's even allowed to complain why I want to be a Jew so it's gonna mean that I'm GNA have to live like a Jew for a few years good forever good it's difficult to get the approval of the community good who cares point is that this is this is the Dos I have to do it this is what I have to do so that's it's important it's important to love the GE but it's also important to stay away from the fake ones there's plenty of fake ones there's plenty of them that are converting for money or for marriage or things like that you have to stay away from fake ones next question yeah she said how did Rifka F know that was the one um well in those days in those days it was very very different than today there was no such thing as dating for a few months just to check things out um well first off the they came from the same family they came from the same family in those days that was already enough to some extent the second thing is that she saw that his servant was extremely holy at Le was extremely holy to such an extent that when abah ainu found out that lot was kidnapped he went to war it says that he went to war with all of those kings and he went to war with 316 men now the kazal the sages say it wasn't really 316 men it was really only one person him and elel how is he going against four armies he's going against four armies two people goes yes because elazar was superpower Abu himself was a superpower where he would turn all the sand into Rockets he would throw sand in the air and all turn into Rockets elzar was just like him got was holy of holy he's one of few people 10 people in history since creation that went to Al alive he never died he went up to sh alive Al we get to Ganan dead he went there alive so elza was holy of holies so she saw that if his servant is to that level that says something about the master because he's telling us listen my master is the best he's KES and so on and so forth so that's another sign you you are who your friends are in many cases if you're friends with gangsters you're a gangster even if you look like a Wall Street guy if you're friends with a Mobsters you're a mobster even if you pretend to be a doctor you all your friends are and that's why I always tell people that part of doing Chua is getting rid of your old friends it's a very hard part of chuva for a lot of people because people like their friends but if your friends are going to stay secular you can't afford to stay friends with them yeah but I'm help them do CH no you're not they're going to help you come back to being a it's much more likely they're going to change you than you you change them you're not strong enough in the beginning to change anybody you have to change yourself first yeah good it makes CH much easier makes CH much easier you don't have the of friends good you don't need friends in the world you only need if you want friends open a book open a book your friends to AKA those are your friends rash to it's 2,000 to to is 2,000 people to is 2,000 people go be friends with them go be friends with the r go be friends with the r be friends with them where who said it his definition of friends is different than yours definition of friend is somebody that rebukes you somebody that tells you the truth regardless of it it hurts somebody that you learn with somebody that tells you what the truth of Tora is not friends that you go to the movies with not friends that you make sins of kette with not friends that you have a beer with friends are people that you learn Torah with people that you learn Torah with you can find in every bit mid your definition of friends is somebody you can go hang out with and chitchat with that's not a friend that's just is somebody to waste your life with a friend according to the Tora is somebody that's going to tell you the truth even when it hurts it's someone that's going to rebuke you and most importantly someone that you could learn T and get to the truth with that you can find in every single bet midash even if you don't know their name they learn sit next to them and say okay what are you learning I'll learn with you friend friends you want want to make after after a few sessions you can start doing signs best friends forever you know point is real friends real friends are going to help you grow spiritually now help you grow with sins so if you're still looking for people are going to help you grow with sins then you know CH is trying to help you but not giving you them yeah okay necessary to speak in a way that is very deliberate in to get the point out to present kind of situ well that means you attended the class that we had about a year and a half ago where the M says be careful with your words because if you're not careful with your words if you use too many words or Too Little Words your students instead of going to they can go to Gom instead that's what happened to antigos two of his students started the reform and uh conservative of those days the Sadducees and the baches because they misunderstood antigonos they misunderstood him when he said you shouldn't serve AEM for a reward you should serve him because you love him you can serve him because you have to and what they say oh don't serve him for a reward oh so he probably just means that there's no reward if there's no reward why I don't want to be religious so they misunderstood him and he didn't elaborate and that's what happened so that's 100% right yes on one end a is obligated to make sure that his audience understands what he says at the same token a that talks to that has humility will usually assume that his audience understands a lot more than they do especially if the is talking to another so viewed Rish as the same level as him if not even better than him because he was about cha so he never felt the need to elaborate because he's like I don't need to explain to him that's what I mean of course he understands why would he ever think that I'm making a sin why would you ever think that I'm making a sin against him nonetheless I love him I gave him my sister to marry what else what other proof do you want so you never understood it and then obviously one thing led to the other things got emotional and such as unfortunately the s Story the point is is that yes it's an obligation for every single speaker to make sure that his audience not only can take something home from what he said but they actually understand the right shot they understand the right meaning this is why it's very sad funny but sad it's like a sad type of funny funny type of sad to me when people make fun of people that learn from art scroll for example I've talked about this before so won't to elaborate too much but uh one one uh one uh uh keyboard Warrior made a comment recently he didn't like one of the things that I said in one of the videos uh so uh he said uh you shouldn't even be allowed to talk until you don't learn anymore from art scroll so because art scroll is a type of gar that is is uh gives you a lot of commentary and is you can say easier to understand the basics than the traditional gar because it gives you all of the material in an organized way versus you having to look for it the same extent still there's an enor endless amount to learn Beyond it but it's easy to arrive at the basic truth using art scroll than it is not using it so the point is that he people that are against b or think of themselves as better than everybody else they have a huge ego so even if they learn T that t is worth nothing actually says you're not even allowed to study from learn from them person that has big Pride you're not allowed to learn from him but they didn't read that part because they're too busy making comments against other people so I it's sad to me it's sad to me that people think like this because in today's generation the vast majority of people do not even keep the basic level of mitv let alone the vast majority of people do not learn torat at all and even the ones that do learn torat many of them many of them do not have the ability to arrive at the correct truth the correct on their own without using the very close guidance of a real t meaning that hem allowed AR scroll to come to the world because of them because of us because we weren't we are not able to arrive at the correct truth on our own them studying the gar on their own the traditional gar on their own is a guarantee failure that's why they have the audacity to go speak against a public P person you know without even realizing it's the basic level minimum of sin that they lose their for publicly publicly going against the person publicly embarrassing another person so that's the thing they don't have the basic understanding of of thear but yet they don't realize that it's their ego that's getting in the way so to me it's sad because we already have such a tough time finding people to convince to go learn tah but now we realize that we have even a bigger problem with the ones that do learn a little bit of to at least they say they learned some to they learned some to at some point in their life because we realized that they learned the wrong t or something they learned something else they called mosu but it's not the same mosu they call R but it's the wrong Raba it's the Chinese one it's the one from Singapore it's not it's not from so that's the thing it's the wrong person they wrong were learn wrong to because they arrived at the wrong basic truth so I think it's important for people to know that the most important part is to arrive at the correct truth once you arrive at the correct truth the correct basic level of truth then you build on it if you have the tools if you have the inclination and of course if you have the but to assume that just because you've been religious for longer or even for your whole life that automatically makes you better or smarter or anything is a very very foolish mistake that actually shows your stupidity doesn't show your intellect shows shows a high level of foolishness and ignorance you don't need to study for a long time to know more hem can just give you all the knowledge in a second like he did to Yeshua yes and many others so anything else 20 names tomorrow night we have I think tomorrow is down the street right yeah down the street we'll continue this m down the street it's the same road that gets to here off of exit 16 just instead of of making a left we make a right so if you came from the other side instead of making right you make a left she'll send you the uh the information thank you for learning with me amen amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] he he [Music]
