B”H thanks for doing these

I'm really enjoying these videos. I've had questions about what I'm reading and what I shouldn't be reading. I'm reading a book on the 7 laws right now that have questioning some things. So this is a good series of videos for me.

Excellent teaching James. Baruch Hashem

Baruch HaShem 🙏🏽✡️🌈

Is all this applicable to non-jews who follow the 7 laws of Noah also?

Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to learning more.

The authenticity of your soul humbles me James

Interesting that while in the womb is given Torah and then a angel slaps the mouth of the baby and Torah is removed. Very interesting.

What a beautiful wedding.

Is that rabbi turen?

I knew G-d brought me this book this day for a reason. Found at a used book store and wasn’t there for my reasons. My daughter wanted to sell off her books and I tagged along. Something drew me to the spot, saw it, and thought wow what’s this? Did a search and felt it was what drew me there. Bought it and found this video. Baruch HaShem. I needed this deeper meaning.

Is this a Chabad organization?

Why don't you use the Torah instead of all these extra books to say what a gentile is?

Lashon is tongue, saphah is lips. Gentile, as all gen- words, indicates origins, beginnings, genetics (specific; not general). It is curious that it occurs only twice in the singular in a kjv (Rom 2:9-10; where it is mistranslated from Hellenes, not ethne). All other occurrences are in the plural indicating a specific group of nations, of specific origins. They are non-Jews, but not non-Israelites.

I think there has been a mis understanding when the Rabbi's of the Mishna and Gemorah reffered to non Jews, at the time most non Jews were ovdei chochamim, Idle worshippers so at the time it came to be synonomous with non Jews, so much of the litterature when reffering to idle worshipers it spoke of all Non Jews, but in fact there were non Jews who weren't and observe Sheva Mitzvot Bnei Noach, these are the Righteous of the world.

This part of the Tanya troubled me alot, because it reflects a spot light on me, why am I doing so and so, am i doing this for selfish reasons, and I feel bad because most of the time I do seek some benefit for myself. So even operating out of the Klippat Noga is a high level, it's the interface I guess between that which is Godly and the mundane, most people in the world are emanations from that partition, there's 2 major distinctions, the Klippat Noga which is a transparant partition, some Godliness passes through, and the other Klippa which allows no Godliness or just enough to sustain life, so it bothers me and really puts me to question myself where am I.

One more point that you all, as well as the Rabbis, need to understand that has been made unclear: what מת, poorly translated as 'dead' means. The Hebrew word מת, pronounced met, is equal in value to the work תהלה, tehilla, which means praise. David's songs of praise are called Tehillim. The Hebrew word מת is equal in value to: from the soul, from the land, the crown of all of our Ancestors land and pure pasture. Those B'nei Noach who learn Torah are deserving of "death', really means: the are entitled to a pure pasture - a holding in the Holy Land - and if the Rabbis knew it why didn't they say it? Proofs below:

Mitzvah is not commandment. That too is poor translation and intentional skew, which constitutes "stealing thought" - something is specifically and expressly forbidden in Torah. The word מצוה is מפי העתיקה הקדושה, meaning from the mouth of The Ancient Holy One (in the feminine! understand this) and it is also חג צהלה, meaning the celebration of joy and also whirling in joy. If a Mitzvah does not cause you to whirl in joy, it's not a Mitzvah. Hebrew proofs below.

It is very, very important that B'nei No'ach are demanding purity of speech from the Jews. It will urge them to return to purity of understanding.

Also, the term עכו"ם, AKhu"M, is an acronym of עובד כוכבים ומזלות, meaning those who worship the stars and constellations. It is a Rabbinic invention, appearing nowhere in Torah. In real Torah, the early generations were clearly in God-consciousness. Even the apparently evil figures, like Kain, are not said to have thought the stars are gods or that the constellations should be consulted with as signs. To apply the term AKhu"M to any and every Gentile is as inaccurate as it is insulting.

Israel is also called goy, which means a People, (pronounced joy in correct Hebrew...hello!) and the word גוי (joy) is equal in value to the Name Chava (Eve) and to the phrase 'a new world. Hebrew proofs below.

One of the nastier pieces of witchcraft that the Rabbis did with Torah is create the concept of a future tense. There is no future tense as it is not commonly experienced in Torah. The Prophets do not speak in the future tense. By creating the illusion of a future tense, the Rabbis were able to introduce the concept of things that will come instead of correct Hebrew understanding that things are always coming. In that way, they were able to make people believe that the Mashiach is not always arriving. The Hebrew word עתיד, now translated as 'future' is actually דעתי, my knowledge and עדתי, by People. It is also עד + ית, the holy eternity. It is equal in value to לתמיד, meaning for always. In actual Hebrew all of the letters that are used to construct the imaginary future tense are part of normal roots. They also have values. So, the Hebrew word in Tzephaniah, אהפך, mistranslated as 'For then will I turn' is actually א + הפך, meaning HaShem has *already* turned. Done deal. Understand this. All of Hebrew Prophecy is a done deal - not events in some imaginary future.

Thank you for this enlightening review. I'd note though that the Moznaim publication uses a censored text even in the hebrew. dev.ronware.org/p/targum/home along with a bad translation. And also Look for example at 10:9 in the uncensored (this site really cares about the rambam) mechon-mamre.org/i/e510.htm יא [ט] גוי שעסק בתורה, חייב מיתה; So the uncensored hebrew says goy not idolator. So in the Moznaim edition, the hebrew in that verse is wrong, and the english is right. And in the other verse about the bnai noach, the hebrew is right and the english is wrong to translate it as gentile. This chabad site uses the moznaim as we see as it says translated by touger. www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1188355/jewish/Melachim-uMilchamot-Chapter-10.htm So, as ronware.org says the moznaim edition is a bad translation of a censored text. Interestingly there's a responsum (which btw was written after the mishneh torah), where the RAMBAM says it's ok to teach torah to christians but not to muslims. Though as we see from hilchot avoda zara 9:4, the rambam considers christianity to be idolatry.(and in hilchot avoda ... 9:4 www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/912368/jewish/Avodat-Kochavim-Chapter-Nine.htm the moznaim text changes notzrim to canaanites as we see canaanites in the moznaim, and

James, you are covering a very important aspect of Torah study for the non-Jew which I have been concerned about for some time. Non-Jews may study Torah and learn from rabbis but we must be mindful. I have seen way too many former Christians leave churches, pastors, and teachers who taught them incorrect teachings only to go to rabbis and Noahide leaders who do the same thing. HaShem gave us all brains and we are obligated to search the scriptures if we truly desire to seek truth and practice it in our lives. The teachings of the rabbis are important but I do not take them at face value without doing my own research. I expect the same of my students. For example, when a student asks me what I believe my answer is consistently: "What does that matter? What does the text say? What do the words mean?" We can give them tools and resources for study but should never tell them what to believe. That would be the epitome of arrogance but it is only too common in religious studies. Thank you for your devotion to a diligent and honest approach to a complex subject. James DeFrancisco, PhD www.aramaicbibleperspectives.com B"H

This is very important work. Thank you, James, for taking the time and energy to make this video for us.

James, excellent presentation and very good catch cp. Goy with Akum and Bnai Noach. There are similar differentiations in Aramaic where Ammay refers to the "gentiles" or nations related to the Jews and Hanpa refer to the idolators.

B"H! This is very helpful Sir James, very clear.

For me the best single vol M"T would have to be the edition printed by Or Vishua.

thx a lot

Hi James. First thanks so much for posting this! You're a mensch. Also, Are you aware that there is an echo that begins at about 42:06. I can't listen to all the rest right now; I have to get some sleep, so I don't know where the echo ends, if it does. Shalom :-D

B"H. Amen. We don't have to wait til Moshiakh comes. This will help bring Moshiakh!!!!! Woo hoo!

thanx man!

Sir James thank you for uploading this video of Rabbi Katz.

Thank you for the list

Excellent idea, and great review! On the short list.

Thanks for the review!

Dear James. thanks so much for telling me about this video. You have put in a lot of time and trouble to do this video and I thank you for that. Will be sharing your video on my Noahide blog because this needs to go out and there is so much false info about the Noahide. Wayne.

You are doing incredible work, James. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a Ben Noach and am a 'baby' walking the Noahide path for about six months now. I purchased this book and read the part that you are talking about in the video. When I read it, I was like......how can this be? With me not being familiar with the Hebrew, I just thought to myself that if HaShem wants His Torah/Tanack spread all over the world and wants mankind to serve and walk with Him then how can this restriction be in place? I was confused and literally thought that I was doomed (before even getting the chance to walk the Noahide path). Indeed I have delved in the Torah as had I not done that in the first instance I would not have left Xtianity. Your clarification on the issue has indeed shed some light and I now feel at peace in that I can learn more about HaShem and His ways. I am certain that many many others will echo the same sentiments if they haven't done so already. Thank you so very much for sharing this once again! Shalom.

I love the Divine Code, however I take in to account translation issues. Seems you've found a pertinent one. I always thought of new agers, digging in without a Rabbi or Torah observant Jew or any real guidance. That's how it's always struck me.

B'H Blessed is Our Creator!!I will try to listen to the entirety of this teaching. Wish to share with you how Rambam in another place defines Benay Noach-which is the context I like to use. Then after establishing that it is the responsibility of the Ben/Bas Noah to discover what path they want to travel upon.See Laws of Nedarim Chapter 9 Law 20.
