Does The Talmud Say... Brutally Honest Rabbi Responds

Why was the man who raped a three-year-old in a Talmud found not in fault? There's no such thing. You're you're learning from anti-semites. Just like I said before that simply take different bits of information and make make new rules. When the Torah says, the Talmud says that a girl that was raped before the age of three years old can still be considered a virgin. Be that's because the sages say it's not that we promote it, allow it. In fact, the Torah says that or somebody that does such a thing as a death penalty, which means the Torah is much more uh um critical and and and uh uh the punishment from the Torah is much worse than the law of the land or law of any other religion. In fact, so so why does the Torah talk about a three-year-old? Because if such a thing happened, we have a tradition from Mount Sai that if it happened before she's 3 years old, the the um the uh uh the hman will actually repair as if nothing ever happened. But if it happened after 3 years old, then it would never repair and therefore we judge accordingly. But this has nothing to do with allowing pedophilia or anything like that. This has nothing to do with it. It's simply a uh the sages explaining the difference of what happens to the body of somebody that has a trauma happen to them before 3 years old or after 3 years old. But if you look at the actual Talmud of what it says about rape, you'll see that it's of severe sin. no matter what the age is, whether it's a pedophilia or if it's a grown woman. In fact, the Torah calls a rapist a murderer. So, when you learn from anti-semites, when you learn from fools, you're going to learn mistakes. So, if you want to actually learn the truth, you'll have to learn from people that actually know it, not from just some, you know, uh, YouTuber that, uh, decided that he wants to make up stuff. was three years old when it married her according to the yes she was. But you can see from what the Torah explains is that she was three years old in age but not three years old in size like you know the world today. Your uh three-year-old daughter or three-year-old son are probably you know 2 feet 3 feet tall tiny little things. And if you ask them to uh go water a uh a camel, one camel, they're not going to be able to even lift the uh you know the uh uh the bucket because it's so heavy for them. But Rifka shows obviously she was much bigger and stronger than even adults that are alive today because she went and she gave water to all of the camels and all of the servants of Elzel. We're talking about 10 camels servants. We're talking about buckets after buckets. In fact, uh a uh in a book by Rabbi Deutsch, uh he writes that if you actually do the calculation based on uh how much a camel actually drinks, it certainly is much more than a bucket. Certainly much more than a bucket. We're talking about several buckets, huge uh amount of water. Meaning that for somebody to do what did at three years old in today's world, you not only have to be a grownup, a full adult, you actually have to be one of the strongest people in the world. That's how difficult it was. So obviously she was not the same size and image as what a three-year-old today would looks like. And neither were many of the people that are mentioned in the Tanakh. Uh for example, King David. Who doesn't love King David? Who doesn't love King David? Everybody loves King David, right? Msiah comes from King David. Guess what? Which wives you King David had 18 wives. Which wife is uh the Mashiah coming from Bacha? She had Schlommo. Schlommo is their son. And from slowmo comes the Mashiach. At what age did King David marry Bacha seven years old. Now again if you look at a sevenyear-old in today's world you would say pedophilia terrible but obviously in those days number one things were different. Not just the culture was different, the physicality of people was different cuz she was number one already previously married before she got divorced and married King David. Um, and secondly, you see that she was able to bear a child. A seven-year-old today can't. So if you analyze things based on only the information you know from what you see today, you will arrive at the wrong conclusion about everything. Therefore, anyone that is a scholar or at least someone that is trying to learn properly always looks at not just based on the world of knowledge they have based on today. They look at the circumstances that were at the time that they're analyzing. So for example, if you look at the laws of uh the the fact that uh slavery for example today slaver if you mention slavery in America or in most uh of the western countries uh you know you people will look at it in a very negative way. Oh, slavery is terrible. You know, based on people's understanding of what happened uh to the uh the black people and how they were abused by the Americans and so on and so forth. Now, what you don't realize is that before this recent revolution that took place here in America, slavery was acceptable worldwide for all of history. It was an acceptable behavior. It was an acceptable according to all uh according to everybody. Not just the Americans, not just the Jews, not just the Arabs, not just the Chinese, everyone. Everywhere in the world that you go, there were slaves. It was a normal part of life. >> [snorts] >> Now, of course, the treatment that and the rules for slavery according to the Torah are very very different than modern, you know, than the people's rules. We were not, you know, we're not allowed uh to to beat up the slaves uh and and and and poke their eyes out and and and and rape them and do all the things that the Americans did to the to the black poor people. Uh uh obviously this is horrible what they did to them. But the point is that slavery in itself was an acceptable thing throughout all of history much more than the recent history of where it's become unacceptable. And even in today's world where slavery is unacceptable, it still happens. How does it still happen? Simple. Look at all of the very wealthy people. The people that are billionaires, multi-millionaires, royalty, oligarths, all of these ruling people. What do you think all those people are? You think that they're employees? Yes, they give them food to eat and so on. They give them a place to stay, but they don't have the freedom like a regular employee that goes to work for uh the postal office has. They're today's modern-day slaves. If one of the servants of let's say Putin or or or even Donald Trump or any of the uh Saudi Arabian uh kings and royalty over there, any one of them let's say decides to just curse the curse their boss, curse their leader, you think that person will live 24 hours? No. They'll instantly be killed. Yeah. But but there not there's no slavery anymore. In your mind, there is there isn't. But there is. Now again, this is something that still exists today. In fact, in places uh in America, there are different communities in America that are usually by uh you know, Muslim communities that still have slaves. There are some uh you know, Asian communities that have slaves. They bring them from different countries. They buy people. You could if you go on uh you know somebody that wants to do it, you can buy somebody from Thailand for 510 $15,000 and they'll be your slave for the rest of your life. Yeah, you'll have to feed them and stuff, but you always had to. So slavery still exists. It's just a little bit different than what it was. So if you base your knowledge on what you see in social media and in in in politics and in television and in the the the lefty liberal uh world that we live in, then you're going to simply say, "No, it's terrible. It's horrible. It's it's a it's a uh inhumane and all types of things." But in reality, it's been very much part of society since the beginning. And there are rules that the Torah uh has about slavery and that are certainly much more favorable than man-made rules. But the point is is that this is a world that you cannot judge things based on just what you know or what you heard. You have to look at the circumstance. When you are looking at three-year-old that's mentioned in the Torah, something one that lived thousands of years ago, you cannot look at things from your perspective of today. You have to look at how is the rest of the information describe this person. Do they describe them as a toddler that still has a, you know, a uh puts their finger in their mouth and wears a diaper and, you know, and and plays on a slide before they go to bed at 8:00 at night? Or are they describing someone that is more like a full-g grown woman and in fact a very very powerful full-g grown woman that is able to give buckets and buckets literally thousands of liters of water to camels. How about this? You go to any place that has camels. Middle East has plenty of them. and tell the guy, "Listen, I want to give your camel some uh some water. I want to give your camel some water." After they laugh at you, they'll tell you, "Thank you. We'll see you uh later tonight." Why? Because it's a whole process. It's a whole process. And guess what? Don't be surprised if your arms are so sore after a half hour that you simply give up on completing the task. And that's just with one camel. Now, when I say go give them water, give them water like gave them. Go to the well, put it fill up the bucket with uh with water, bring it back to the camel, see him finish it, go get another bucket, go. Let's see how how many buckets can you bring in to let's see if you could satiate one camelifa did 10 camels and the servants and alazil so obviously this is not the normal three-year-old person you have to learn how to learn and not just conclude based on a bias or based on ignorance Because either way, you will arrive at a wrong conclusion. You want the truth or you want some manipulated way to make the uh the Torah and the Jewish people look bad. If you want to make us look bad, you don't need to ask questions. You could just hate us for for no reason. None of the previous anti-semmites ever needed a valid reason to hate us. But if you're actually looking for the truth, at least do some homework before you conclude [music] things. [music] >> [music]
