What They Believe - Ep 04 - Rabbi Ariel Edery - Reform Judaism

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

If you liked this interview, Rabbi Edery returns in Ep 37! (and it's a better video over-all.)

[@auntiepartice8293]

Yes! The 2nd is much better.

My mother was raised Jewish but she converted to Christianity later in life and raised me very lax as far as faith; adopting the system of “if you’re happy this way, do it.” I’ve always been fascinated by the Jewish faith but I was nervous about possibly converting. However, the reform sect seems to calm my nerves. Maybe one day I’ll get the nerve to walk into my local reform temple and see if it resonates with me.

[@christo-chaney]

Give it a try. I’m so glad that I did!

[@Annie9452]

if your mother is jewish then you are jewish- no need to convert. even if you convert out of judaism you are still a jew and your children will still be jews as well

[@christo-chaney]

@@Annie9452 actually no that isn’t accurate. If someone converts out of Judaism to another religion they are no longer Jewish. Even if your mother was Jewish a person is no longer Jewish if they convert to another religion.

[@TheActor93]

@@Annie9452 I presumed so, and since the temple she and my grandparents attended was Orthodox I believe her conversion upon adoption was Kosher which also backs up your logic. So thank you for the insight.

[@airforcex9412]

@@christo-chaney That is absolutely incorrect according to Talmud. There’s plenty of literature that addresses this.

[@april9658]

this is cool. reform judaism looks so peaceful and friendly

[@zealousideal]

Yes it does.

[@PinkHawk191]

I love being a Reform Jew. I grew up in the Reform Jewish branch of Judaism. It’s beautiful to me. The teachings from my Rabbinical staff at my shul have impacted my life. The social justice is a big part of my life. I am a self advocate in the disability community since I am a person with disabilities.

[@zealousideal]

Why Reform specifically and what’s the difference?

[@PinkHawk191]

That is how I grew up and am used to. I love the Reform movement. It's more modern.I am ablate wear my kippah and tallit. I can ask questions about the Torah portion if I need it explained in a simpler way. I do Hebrew class withy Associate Cantor army shul.@@zealousideal

[@klarinausach9344]

Great interview! I never identified with my Judaism until I found the Reform sect.

[@zealousideal]

Would you recommend

[@katesteiman6267]

This is my Rabbi and he's truly inspiring.

[@austinhadley6086]

I'm a reform jew, former atheist, and I really enjoyed this. Subscribed!

[@alifesaver9513]

Same, I was ethnicity Jewish and I never understood religion but I found god and I resonated with reform Judaism the most

[@jodiskylar9452]

I have actually always considered myself agnostic, but with a great deal of interest in the reform movement because of their stance on social issues ( I'm very progressive when it comes to politics, ) but as a former atheist, what do you enjoy most about the reform movement?

[@teucer915]

I don't believe this, but I *want* to believe this. For the first time, we have a religion whose god I would be very glad to have be true.

[@CalculusKai]

Lots of observant Jewish people don’t even beleive in god or are agnostic

[@Bellg]

This religion was only "made" after they threw out literally 99.9% of the original religion and just said "Nothing actually matters, I just want to light a candle on friday" Then you might aswell just be an atheist and be honest about it. This is just weird

[@alifesaver9513]

@@Bellg im sorry this comment was so fucking stupid I cant even like respond to it

[@robinbyrd4430]

Love the talk. Thank you for sharing a enlightening conversation. Shalom☺️👍🏾🌺

[@alabamapilot244]

What a fun series, I commend you on your efforts. Reform Judaism is a beautiful approach to living a responsible religious life. Great job with the interview.

[@johnnyg9633]

Great Rabbi. Love to hear more from him

[@johnjackson384]

I’m speechless this is a great interview

[@vesnastihovic7014]

Very nice person, the rabbi, very down to earth.

[@PowerYoutuberViewer]

I'm so happy to have found this! What great talk and great video!

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Excelent interview. I'd love to know this Rabbi.

Great interview! The scroll notes are excellent. In this case, Torah scrolls? 😄 Congratulations and mazel tov! 🌞

[@koopon3900]

Great job by the interviewer!

[@SemproniaC]

Nuts that this is the top viewed episode. It's good! But also hoping we get another with him to see more of the synagogue

[@SeekersofUnity]

Wonderfully done.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peytongorshavitzki6933]

This was very informative, thank you. :)

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@finaltake6978]

Everyone should check out the 2nd interview with this Rabbi. Its much better.

[@TheFrancoMcNeil]

Agreed!

[@cheeseburgerlazers]

i think having a static microphone that you have your guest talk into rather than one that they wear might help with your audio issues because it was all over the place for the first five minutes especially but all over the video as well for rabbi Edery was talking.

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

Once we can film new episodes, the sound issues will be fixed!

[@jdub2378]

Islam is making the secular world conform to religious needs! And I applaud them for their chutzpah!

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

Can you explain further? I'm partially confused by your comment.

[@tomcatyyz]

Makes zero sense, this...

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

What do you say to the other Jews who call it: deformed, lazy, not real Judaism and the converts are not 🚫 real Jews?

[@nicholasdasilva9]

This dude is cool

[@andystitt3887]

What biblically says commandments can be ended?

[@sriddle3569]

Hark the herald angels sing?

[@VegetaAFH]

I thank you for this interview, and you did a great job. What’s the point of believing in the Torah if you don’t believe it is divinely given? Then it’s basically the Hamurabi Code.

[@WhatTheyBelieve]

If you would like an alternate take on the subject, check out episodes 16 or 17. The Cantor and the Rabbi were very good interview subjects.

[@VegetaAFH]

Thank you for the reply. And I definitely will check out that interview. Keep up the excellent work.

[@PatientPerspective]

Honest question? Othorodox Jews believe such restrictions are commands fron god. Why would modern life supersede these restrictions? Wouldnt you work around gods law (is it?) than god's law around modern life? Im not a theist so I havr no issues with theists, but just curious?

[@UziReborn]

0:29 what is this;

[@TheFrancoMcNeil]

LoL, that's an obscure one for sure!

[@Gavriel-og6jv]

23:55 But if an agreed upon, accepted truth is not arrived at, what is the point of discussing, and discussing, and discussing?

[@christo-chaney]

So that we can learn from each other. Isn’t that a good enough reason?

[@Bellg]

Having an excuse to not do manual labour

[@christo-chaney]

@@Bellg working 6 days a week and resting for 1 day is an excuse to not do manual labor? 6 days each week isn’t enough work?

[@Bellg]

@@christo-chaney I meant in the yeshivas where they do nothing but "study" all day every day. They don't even serve in the IDF so that they can "study" more.

[@christo-chaney]

@@Bellg that’s the ultra orthodox. Not Reform. Reform Jews don’t study all day and refuse to work. Judaism isn’t monolithic.

Isaiah 52:15 so shall he startle many nations kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand. We couldn't see the extent of "IT IS FINISHED" the earth quaked the rock split at the foot of the Cross, Yeshua's blood was released by the Roman soldier who pierced his side. While Six hundred years earlier The Ark of the Covenant was moved.. Solomon prepared for its hiding and Jeremiah moved it precisely under the cross yet future! GOLGOTHA. THE WITNESS OF THE BLOOD IN THE STARS.. REVELATION 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua. The Rabbi's keep the tablets of stone and His blood (testimony) found on the mercy seat! I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourn for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. ENMITY exists now the solution is the Fathers witness! 1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believe on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believe not God hath made him a liar; because he believe not the record that God gave of his Son. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np_bnqJ8ZbqNnsU Rabbi Chaim Richman kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3KppaKoos6IlZI 3 minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaTNpqaEa7uJodE 56 minutes For it is by His grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of Elohim.

For we are His creation who are created in Y'shua the Mashiyach for good works which Elohim has before prepared for us to walk in. 11. Wherefore be mindful that you formerly were carnal Gentiles; and you were called the uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision of which is the work of the hands in the flesh. 12. And you were, at that time, without the Mashiyach; and were aliens from the Devarim of Israel; and strangers to the covenant of the promise; and were without hope and without Elohim in the world. 13. But now, by Y'shua the Mashiyach, you who before were afar off, have been brought near by the Blood of the Mashiyach. 14. He is Himself our peace, who has made the two (become) ONE
