Gay Orthodox Rabbi

[@arlosmith2784]

I'm gay and Jewish too 🕎🌈

[@Jeffrey12342001]

It would be nice if there were english subtitles for this interview for those of us that have not kept up with their Hebrew. However, great interview and I wish him luck. I would think that it would be almost impossible to be in an Orthodox community and be openly gay. You can live elsewhere in Israel: Haifa, TelAviv and live openly and heppy but in an Orthodox community I am not sure how he does it. Shalom to all.

[@windstorm1000]

Leviticus didn't know about gay relationships. This man is very good looking. I hope he can find a good man

[@steventrosiek2623]

He is beautiful. One of God's children whom He loves.

[@cicadagaming1775]

that is against the torah

[@scoob215]

he should stand proud alongside Ghandi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandella. peace be with you brother

[@mrtruthforever]

It's very important for people to understand the agenda here. We have an English title with intermittent English comments. People who don't understand Hebrew may think that this Rabbi is recommending some kind of reformist ideology. He isn't. He specifically says one must abide by the laws of the Creator even if its difficult.

[@PanditDayanand-mg8xs]

The Leviticus verse in question is specifically talking about anal penetration between two men. If he doesn't do anal and doesn't engage in promiscuity or hookups or one-night stands, then he can still abide by the laws of the Creator.

[@stressther]

This is an amazing video. As a university student, I am focusing on homosexuality in the Jewish community for an essay, and it is so beautiful to see a Rabbi who is taking a stand for the Jewish Homosexual community and trying to get them accepted in the Jewish community. There is a very high need for this, and I hope that the rest of the community can see and learn to accept homosexual Jews as Torah observant Jews as well.

[@YacovMenashe]

As long as he doesn't practice homosexuality and admits it's wrong, it's not a problem excpet that he doesn't get married.

[@anne91276]

Many blessings are in store for this orthodox rabbi. He is a human being like many others out there. Nobody should try to discriminate against gays and lesbians. The other thing is that most people need to respect other sexual orientation and to refrain themselves from making intimidating comments against gays and lesbians, especially in the Jewish community.

[@Planthunter756]

I want to contact Rabbi Ron yosef, about my personal problem. Please i'd be happy to have his email id.

[@CA6989_]

I’m my Jewish study bible that reform, conservative and orthodox rabbis worked on It’s say that verse doesn’t have the word homosexuality Also that verse is referring to gang rape not homosexuality

[@armandovillasenor8496]

I salute Rabbi Ron Josef for his courage and conviction! God bless you abundantly with his love!

[@frankworkman9000]

Love be with him .I marry him

[@bsss1112]

God bless gay and lesbian Jews

[@howubin2809]

No God is not happy with them

[@jiddiszepiratentv2138]

Next: Orthodox Jews who eat double-bacon-cheeseburgers on Yom Kippur. Why should this be forbidden, just because of three verses? I asked my rabbi and she said it's OK.

[@howubin2809]

Hahaha! Yes. Nebach.

[@MCooper25]

There are replacements for food. There is none if you're attracted to someone of the same sex, other than never having sex...

[@jiddiszepiratentv2138]

@@MCooper25 Just because you are atrracted to something does not mean you should have it. And "orthodox" has a meaning deeper than "anything done by a man wearing a black hat".

[@darkanser]

It might be lost in translation but description "Orthodox Homosexuals" like other discussions exploring the intersection between sexuality and religion makes it sound that the most important aspect of any gay person's identity is their sexual orientation. It would at least sound better if they were to say "Orthodox persons who are gay" . It's like referring to people of African descent as " The Blacks".

[@wholovesyoujoe]

G-d has a way of keeping us thinking. It's up to the Jewish community to protect these unique individuals who bring their own gifts.

[@robertcuminale1212]

Subtitles in English of what the Rabbi is saying would have helped a lot.

[@thelawisfortherichtruth6520]

Robert, if you look at the bottom of the video, ul see what looks a bit like a flower...(tools) , well just on the left of the " flower" you will see a little white box , which says cc...Press on that, and you will get Eng subtitles

[@ciel222]

VERY NICE, IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEY DON'T STAY IN THE CLOSET, AND THEY MAKE A NOISE ABOUT IT.

[@MrPebbles505]

If you are gay why would you want to follow a religion islam jewish or christianity that says being gay is not allowed. Leave the religion and be happy and stop insulting religions that forbid this sort of behaviour end off.

[@TELEVISIBLE]

in his case he have to left his community and heritage, that is a lot to lose for him.

[@MrPebbles505]

TELEVISIBLE What? a community that is rejecting you? please stop saying this you are not helping the situation and no he is not losing his heritage. instead of helping you are making the situation worse. Leave the community that is not accepting you for who you are and join or form your own commuinity with those who share similar ideas and interests and finally live your life as happily and peacefully as you would like, end off.

[@TheGrmany69]

In accordance with the bible one should not eat seafood nor shave, if that was change through centuries, why you say they must not change their believes.

[@jorgealves8578]

One cannot change what one was brought up with. One has to carry on with one's own life and deal with one's own contradictions. But this is what is life made of!

[@xebatansis]

You think God was straight and lusting up after women? Laughing my ass off. There' s a reason why so many priests are gay. They know the truth.

[@haroldgoodman130]

Brave and intelligent man. Hashem made him gay and wants him to be a gay Jewish man who worships G-d, Why not translate what he says into English? He really makes a lot of sense and is very comfortable with who he is. Obviously, there are a lot of people who are very threatened by who he is. Too bad for them.

[@IwasBlueb4]

Harold if you look at the bottom of the video, ul see what looks a bit like a flower...(tools) , well just on the left of the " flower" you will see a little white box , which says cc...Press on that, and you will get Eng subtitles

[@ziejackson6236]

Harold I want to convert to Judaism but I'm gay and don't like the idea of circumcision would you say that is still possible in orthodox Judaism ? I know conversation should not be taken lightly and that orthodox as many denominations do you have any advice?

[@blackstoneintelligencechum744]

Nope . Need circumcision. Don’t be a baby , it’s nothing compared to what I had 4 stents places in my heart.

[@RobertMOdell]

Leading another person to disobey the commandments of God is hatred for them.

[@tapgeek79]

Many are so quick to judge others, yet fail to judge themselves. This gentleman is a human, made by the creator of this universe. He was made in love. He was meant to love. No one should be judged for loving another human, no matter what kind of love it is. Best of luck to you rabbi!

[@kellykizer6718]

lee mcb then by that logic brothers and sisters and mother's and sons and Father's and daughters are all fine and why not throw in the family dog and cat. As long as it's all done in love right. Don't judge.

[@anne91276]

Only in Orthodox and Conservative communities, that women weren't ordained to become Rabbis But Secular jews are the most modern form of Judaism that do allow women to serve as Rabbis. But that doesn't mean I object to most Orthodox and Conservative communities to retain modesty as long it doesn't infringe on women's right. The Ultra Orthodox "Jews" are one such example of engaging in unethical behaviors.

[@elianetje]

i love the idea that there are jewish gay rabbis!

[@newfful]

As a heterosxual female I cannot for the life of me understand why I find gay men attractive. Maybe because they take better care of themselves?

[@GBAusmeierAussie]

I see what you mean. But we all have our weak moments when our true nature is not coming through.

[@Sergio94CA]

@pizzaboy724 I'm not completely against or for gay people, but let me ask you something... When did you choose to be straight?

[@flexgado249]

They might as well believe Yeshua is the Messiah

[@alonelychild]

He is living in celibacy, if I understood. So, I might assume that rabbis can marry? Am I correct? Another thing I would like to ask the jewish community: are you born a jew, or can one outsider convert, like they do in Christianity and Islam? Does the community sees itself more as an ethinical group or a religious one? How does the jewish religion is organized? Is it like protestantism with its "Sola scriptura" concept? I wish I could know more

[@warrenpaine]

Subtitles please. Not everyone understands Hebrew.

[@chris03653837]

good for him, love is love I am not gay and I freaking crave women, but taking religion to the extreme is for freaks, the meaning behind spiritual believes is love and peace, not condemning you brother because he chose a different path.

[@Dovid2000]

The underlying principle in Jewish thought states that every man is born with, both, a good and bad inclination. This, in itself, is not bad, nor is an abnormality. The problem, however, arises when one wishes to "cross over the line" and seeks to gratify his "evil inclination," based on the prototypical models of right and wrong in the Hebrew Bible. In the final analysis, it is man that decides how he is to act. Most men will, at some time in their lives, succumb to their "evil inclination," as it is written: "There is not a righteous man upon earth that does good and sins not" (Ecclesiastes 7,20). For this reason, repentance (and in some cases, affliction) atones for most sins.

[@sumandas9487]

+David Ben-Abraham i don't support gay marrige at all ,no where in torah it was wrote that gay should marry and live .i mean god create each creature for different purpose .

[@Dovid2000]

suman das I agree. But God created the evil inclination in man. Man must work to overcome his evil inclination.

[@Lombax64]

+David Ben-Abraham Being a homosexual is not evil.

[@Dovid2000]

Sky Blue It's a choice, and a bad choice at that. The Torah forbids a man to have sexual relations with another man. A person who is born with such an inclination (and there are many, as it is one facet of the "evil inclination" with which we are all born), his purpose in life is to work on himself and to contain his evil impulse. That, my friend, is the gist of the matter. I have seen transgender youth who feel they have been placed in the "wrong body." What they fail to realize, however, is that they are in the right body, but their inclination draws them to act contrary to nature. Proof of which, often a transgender man-to-woman cannot have a normative sexual relation with a man, since his mind is programmed to be sexually attracted to women. A homosexual while he might gratify his lusts is never fully happy, as the bonding between a man and a man is not the same as the bonding between a man and a woman. Enough said.

[@chetyoubetya8565]

+David Ben-Abraham Yes just like you choose to be straight you sat down and choose it correct??You let G-d do all the judging

[@RobertMOdell]

Forget interpretation of the Laws. The more important question is, do they obey them.

[@GBAusmeierAussie]

It is almost impossible for a shiksa - once she has become heblew-cized - (similar to circum cised) to not act as a traitor to the human race.

[@JorgeF2021]

Do you make convertions?

[@yudelrox]

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!

[@MCooper25]

When you live in a bubble, it's easy to laugh at everything on the outside.

[@elishevaherzog6723]

why?

[@suevialania]

Hello, from Lisboa, PORTUGAL!!!

[@beller8501]

love has no gender--orthodox is about the law,,how dare they decide what to feel..sexuality comes from the soul.laws on sexuality are created from un compassionat dark men.how can anyone believe in such un-kindness??how dark can you get? this man is a wonderful exzample of the new era of love.religion puts fear on sexuality.those laws have nothing to do with un conditional love.theyve seperated men and woman...??

[@sidtapia09]

Jews didn't dare to create G-d's Law, they just decide to follow it. when trying to follow G-d's commandments we can't always do what we feel. hating is also a feeling that comes from the soul that doesn't mean we act upon it. This rabbi may well feel a certain way but definitely should not act upon it and his merit will be even greater in the world to come

[@ronnierodriguez8471]

Why don't you live a celibate life? God knows we don't need any more people like you in the world.

[@flexgado249]

Belle R you get love confused with lust

[@stupidreamer]

Somewhat unhelpful to have no subtitles for the Hebrew. Utterly bizarre you assume everybody viewing this video will know what he is saying. His important message will be inaccessible to thousands.

[@richardbenitez7803]

Rabbi is blessed to be so good looking and well spoken. Can see he can work well with others. Seems like a serious dude. Maybe he can put some wisdom on this issue.

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

Death to his kind.

[@TagMahirTzedek]

Associated with Froman, why am I not surprised.

[@jiddiszepiratentv2138]

Because gay-loving, communism, al-fatah-ass-kissing, liberalism, Hamas supporting somehow always come in one package.

[@meverymessy194]

There used to be a man that laid with man, who although he laid with man retained his manhood. He was the king, the king B, until August 16 1981. I opened my mouth that day and God filled it with words saying 'King of kings--Droids Defused', at that very moment you might say all man's sins were poured upon mankind. That's 37 years ago and anybody in their 30's would have no idea what I’m talking about, but the King B the got his just reward. Since that day it’s been 'he who steals man---so shall He be stole’. They've all become like women. Many of those in denial of what God has taken from them, still believe they're men. My opinion is, I believe it affects 50% of the men right in the USA alone. Don't you see Rabbi Ron, God has' made the decision...He just hasn't acted yet. Funny thing about those women, they still call a man who's always ready a machine (droid) today. If none of this is true may יהוה strike me Dead. The sovereign one sent by the sovereign God, The one nobody believes. Bless the sovereign God of Israel Jehovah!

[@hudstar2011]

People have such amazing stories - this is one of them

[@miriamtiana6809]

It is my personal understanding that HaShem, Architect of The Universe, created human beings male and female, in His/Her Image...perhaps it is we, the ordinary mortals, who fail to comprehend the workings of That Which Is, Was, and Will Be. In infinite mercy, homosexuality was embedded in the DNA of certain people, to love others of their same gender, so that all might see G-D is Love through every working.

When has lust become defined as love, he may love all he wants, God is not silent on this subject, he abhors it! Quick to judge others, not really, but rather quick to discern evil & repute the self-serving arguments of men. If U are of God there are no extending circumstances, no moral equivocations, either submit to the will of God or U follow your own. I have grown tired of being called a hypocrite, by one whose very nature of his own sin flies in the face of his professed beliefs.
