WHO IS A JEW?? - ERA OF MASHIACH (29)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven emphasizes that true Judaism adheres strictly to the Torah, without modern or nationalist additions. Deviating from this path, driven by personal desires, equates to creating a new religion. Authentic Judaism, as taught by the sages, is based on unchanging divine laws. Modern adaptations that contradict Torah principles lead one away from genuine Jewish practice. Only by following the Torah as given by God, without alterations, can one truly live as a Jew and secure their spiritual future. 00:00 - Introduction: Zivugim (Gemara, Sotah 2a) 00:07:18 - Who is a Jew?
