I simply LOVE the finesse that the Rabbi uses to respond the antisemites... And the moronic questions.

IYH The segment where Rav Reuven shlita answers questions from the audience during a live broadcast. Some questions and Rav Reuven’s answers [I made light edits , any errors are mine). **Questions about Jewish Law and Practice** * **Q: Is it permissible to say “Vidui” (confession prayer) during “Mincha” (afternoon prayer)?** * **A:** Sephardic Jews and some Ashkenazi Jews recite "Vidui" during "Mincha." It's permitted, but not obligatory for all Ashkenazi Jews. It is not said during Chanukah. * **Q: When going through the conversion process, will the rabbinical court (“Beit Din”) require completing the entire curriculum before the meeting, or should the candidate be introduced to the court first?** * **A:** The entire conversion curriculum is completed *before* appearing before the "Beit Din." The court's role is to confirm the candidate's readiness, not to be involved in the learning process itself. * **Q: If I can’t finish all the prayers due to time constraints, is it harmful to stop before finishing? It takes two hours.** * **A:** Prayer should ideally be done in one session. It’s okay to take short breaks, but not for hours. Focus on completing the core parts: "Shema" and "Amidah" consecutively. If praying in a synagogue, you can skip ahead to keep up with the communal prayer, as hearing the prayer leader counts as praying. Strive for fluidity and speed over time. * **Q: How can one combat the “Yetzer Hara” (evil inclination) when it tries to stop someone from doing a mitzvah? For example, when trying to complete a section of learning (“Sefarim”) but feeling resistance.** * **A:** Push yourself to do even a small amount, like reading one line or sentence, instead of giving up entirely. Even small efforts can weaken the “Yetzer Hara” and lead to greater accomplishments. * **Q: Does Rav so-and-so have the authority to argue against "Rabbi' Manis Friedman?** * **A:** Rabbi Reuven clarified the question, emphasizing that anyone has the authority to challenge heretical views based on Torah sources. Determining whether someone is a heretic is not a matter of personal opinion but is based on clear violations of Torah principles. * **Q: Is the “Payot” (sidelocks) a Torah obligation?** * **A:** Growing “Payot” is a custom, not a direct obligation from the Torah. The Torah prohibits shaving a specific area of the head, but growing long sidelocks demonstrates love for God’s decrees. * **Q: I grew up practicing Judaism, but my mother isn’t Jewish. Is it easier to convert since I basically practice everything, including Shabbat?** * **A:** Growing up practicing Judaism might ease the conversion process, but certain requirements and learning still apply. * **Q: Can you give an example of when a Gentile is considered wicked, and when they are considered good?** * **A:** A Gentile who follows idolatry, or engages in harmful actions like adultery, rape, murder, or theft, is considered wicked. A Gentile who follows God's laws and lives a decent life is considered righteous. * **Q: What is your opinion on the genocide happening in Gaza?** * **A:** Rabbi Reuven strongly denied the existence of a genocide in any meaningful sense of the word in Gaza. Israel's actions are as a necessary cleanup of terrorists and actually of help to the small minority of peaceful Palestinians in that area. * **Q: Is it good to study Kabbalah at the beginning of one’s spiritual journey?** * **A:** Beginners should focus on the basics of Judaism before delving into the complexities of Kabbalah, which requires years of preparation. **Questions about Jewish Beliefs** * **Q: The Rambam says rejecting one of the 13 principles of faith makes one a heretic. Many rejected this view. The “Yosef Albo” is one example. Is this true?** * **A:** Rabbi Reuven clarified that other scholars like “Yosef Albo” didn't reject the Rambam's principles but offered a more concise list. However, everyone agrees that rejecting fundamental principles like the coming of the Messiah or the Oneness of God makes one a heretic (eg Manis Friedman). * **Q: Do you believe in the same God as Muslims?** * **A:** Rabbi Reuven believes in the one true God. While Muslims may theoretically believe in the same God, their different instructions (e.g., advocating killing Jews) contradict the Torah's truth and present a serious problem. * **Q: How would we know who the real Messiah is and not be misled by a false one?** * **A:** According to the prophets, the Messiah’s arrival will be a momentous event, more significant than the Exodus, with undeniable miracles witnessed by the entire world. This will leave no room for doubt, unlike previous false messianic claims that lacked such extraordinary events. * **Q: What knowledge is there about the Pashtuns?** * **A:** Some scholars believe the Pashtuns might be descendants of a lost Jewish tribe due to similarities in customs like slaughtering practices and circumcision. This theory, however, requires further investigation. Identifying the lost tribes is a task associated with the Messiah's arrival. * **Q: What is your opinion on Islam?** * **A:** Rabbi Reuven stated that the Quran itself reveals Islam's falsehood. Anyone who knows the Torah's truth can easily discern the falsehoods in Islam and Christianity. Anything true in the Quran was stolen from Jewish sources. * **Q: If my mother is Jewish, does that make me Jewish?** * **A:** Yes, Jewish law determines lineage through the mother. If your mother is Jewish because *her* mother was Jewish, then you are also Jewish. * **Q: Were Roman and Greek coins allowed to be used for donations?** * **A:** Yes, any currency used during those times would have been acceptable for donations. Rabbi Reuven then took the opportunity to show his collection of ancient coins mentioned in the Talmud..

The coins certainly need to go under a microscope 🔬 for my weak eyes 😂
