Now, this just goes against HaShem's instructions to make welcome anyone who wants to be part of His people. Jews have ignored that the Israelite nation was created "to be a light to the nations", and apparently forget that all people of the world would be blessed through Avraham. Torah is the way meant for the whole world, the nation He created was to carry that light. They failed, are still in exile, and still keep putting Torah second to their sages and ancient commentary. I'm speaking generally, I know Jews who do not ascribe to this insular, "the Torah is just for us" mindset. I have had the most excellent teaching from Jews and Rabbis for years. But it is sad that, as a whole, the religious Jews want to behave as if HaShem and His Torah is only for them.
We have Israel and have reached the position of most power. We did not fail. The Torah states most gentiles will die in the final war. The light onto the nations doesnt mean all will be saved.
concretereddful by that reasoning, no one who doesn’t understand algebra may study it. Or only Spanish people may study Spanish. Torah is Hashems instructions to man. Those who hide and forbid it’s teaching are inviting Hashems wrath. Is there not only one true g-d? Did He write a separate set of instructions for each ethnicity?
@@lostinart I've actually been thinking about this a lot. Maybe g-d did write a different set of instructions for each ethnicity. Or at least Jews-Christans-Muslims. The atheist movement is getting more and more popular. Maybe the point is to come together in some way. As someone who grew up around Christians and recently started studying the other 2 it seems like the father is judaism who teaches with stern hand and who gives the son who preaches compassion and sends the holy spirit of the Lord. The Quran. Maybe the objective is to put the three together. Didn't g-d say I've made you different so you may know each other?
Shalom Rav , I am a gentile student of Hebrew and my only source of pure Hebrew is the Torah and prophet Hezekiel points out tha gentiles can get inheritance sude by sude with Jews in the New Israel Ezekiel 47 vs 22
@@abejimenez2233 talmud is part of the Torah. Is not a difference. Talmud is the mishna and gemorrah. Oral Torah had to be written down much later when we were being persecuted so as not to lose it. That is the mishna. The gemorrah is written later also when we were being persecuted and is a commentary to elucidate the mishna.
If I heard this correctly, a non Jew may read the Written Torah but not learn the Oral Torah. How would the non Jew learn about the Noahide Laws without the Oral Torah? If a Jew teaches the Noahide Laws would he not be transmitting Oral Torah, that according to this video is forbidden?
That's right because noahide laws are not biblical written Torah. The true Torah says that these laws are for all. Not just the stranger gets a sabbath, but even the beasts.
The oral Torah contradicts the written because they are added traditions of men. How many pages of Sabbath laws alone in the oral? Talk about adding extra burdens to men...I understand the WHY of it, good intentions and all, but look at where it has gone, what is it, 80 pages of Sabbath laws? This is why we are not to add or take away from scripture
@@kickdragon that isn't adding new laws is explaining shabbat laws plus the whole oral Torah is not added to the Torah. The oral Torah also is from hashem from Sinai too You obviously no extremely little about the oral Torah. Not even the basics. Go learn way more before trying to argue about it.
Maybe the Rabbi could expound more on what it says in Sanhedrin 59a1. The following text is from the Artscroll Talmud Bavli. Sanhedrin 59a1 The Gemara answers: There, the Baraisa refers to their seven Noahite commandments. An isolated who studies Torah to become knowledgeable about his own obligations is commanded. R'Yochanan, though, was referring to an isolated who studies laws that are not applicable to him. Then in Note 10 it states: Meiri explains that R' Yochanan's prohibition refers to an idolater who learns the precepts of the Torah and the Talmud in order to mislead Israelites. That is, he wishes to use his knowledge of Israelite law to trick them into thinking that he is an Israelite and then influence them. A person is therefore fit to be punished for studying the Torah for such a purpose. However, if a Noahite studies the seven commandments that apply to him, he should be honored like a Kohen Gadol even if his investigations lead him to study most of the precepts of the Torah. Since his main purpose in studying is knowledge of the Noahite laws, there is no concern that he will influence Israelites (see also Chamra VeChayei)
in the desert there were foreigners with the Israelites. God spoke to them and gave them the Torah also. It was not until after the Babylon exile when the Jews leaders started to separate one group from the rest. forgetting in the desert there were no Jews yet only Israelites. Not until 100 years later Judah became known as the Jews. God gave the Torah to all of those in the exodus not just the Israelites but to the foreigners with them. It is so sad that you don't even remember your own history. God gave the torah and the tanak to all who believe and follow him.
I guess it only applies to either people who respect their authority or who are under their legal jurisdiction (such as a Jewish state that they were in charge of).
@@The_Temple Well, Israel is a secular state. Also, there are lots of laws on the books that are difficult to enforce, they just do what they can. Having a difficult to enforce law still suppresses behavior you don't want. Not that I'm advocating this law, I don't accept the authority of the oral torah, and yet I read it sometimes.
In all those verses it says "Oved Kohavim" someone who worships Idolatry. Not gentile. Please stay true to the God you believe in. And furthermore: "The Gemara raises an objection to Rabbi Yoḥanan’s statement from a baraita: Rabbi Meir would say: From where is it derived that even a gentile who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest? It is derived from that which is stated: “You shall therefore keep My statutes and My ordinances, which if a man does he shall live by them” (Leviticus 18:5). The phrase: Which if priests, Levites, and Israelites do they shall live by them, is not stated, but rather: “A man,” which indicates mankind in general. You have therefore learned that even a gentile who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest"
Madson Barbosa Muslim worship the Almighty and prostrate to the Lord they do not worship images, idols, there are similarities between Quran and Torah, ie weighing justly, giving share to charity, prostrating to the Almighty, Prophet Moses peace be upon him amongst other things.
So much confusion in the comments. 1. If you convert you would no longer be a gentile. You would be as jewish as me who was born jewish 2. Other religions say you have to convert or you are not saved. We say you do not have to and there is another option. Giving an extra option can't be seen as mkre unwelcoming then not giving an extra option
This is a tad sad, if your God is the true God (which I believe) and you (Jews) should help me to know your God...why shouldn’t I study all of it? So that I may know God’s ways to please Him?
Oh my. Too late. 6 years in studying, obeying and living Torah. Listen to Rabbis for understanding. Love HaShem and Torah so. HaShem is ONE.. Its in my heart and soul. Can't remove it. TORAH Shema will b last Words on my lips when I leave this planet.
Isaiah 56:4-7 4 For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant- 5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever. 6 And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant- 7 these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” 8 The Sovereign Lord declares-
So I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. I admit I'm a non Jew looking for truth and who HaShem is. So I thought I'd study both the Oral and Written Torah. I thought if I studied both the Oral and Written Torah I would find truth and learn more about HaShem
When a non-Jew converts to Judaism, he renounces (loses) his non-Jewish family. Now there is a mitzvah to join with your blood family at a certain point and converts cannot fulfill the mitzvah because they’re not genetically related to tribe of Judah. Conversion and Noahidism are both stumbling blocks intentionally placed before the blind, by Jews who know they will keep all for themselves.
If I may ask a question Rabbi. I left Christianity and embraced Noahide after 32 years as a Christian adult, educator, author and Film Producer...only after 18 years of reviewing "Pirkei Avot" and many ethics based aspects of the "Torah Shebaal peh". It was due to this that the position made clear sense, and I could not have come to that understanding without such. Are you saying I crossed a line by studying such??? I do not intend to convert, but to labor to aid Torah order as the pursuit of drawing closer to Hashem! I am just asking for a bit of clarity as to what is actually 'OFF LIMITS"'
Chacham Dan just like you I was drawn to Torah by God. I never willingly wanted to understand so much abt it by myself so I’m pretty sure there’s a good reason why I’m being guided to learn it. Hashem wants to teach Gentiles as Well. He has a plan for the nations. what about Noahides? We all must go back to the Jewish roots.
@RabinoBoricuaVirtual thanks so much for the enlightenment you just don't know how much you've helped me 💐 your amazing I've learnt more from this reading than from watching this video. Do you have a youtube channel so i can subscribe
A gentile, which gentile? One who is like a Ger Toshav must declare that he has rejected Shituf, he declared that he is careful with the 7 may Study all Torah for the sake of Heaven.
To be put to death means he studies what is permitted to him, that his old self dies spiritually. He begins his spiritual journey to become like the High Priest of Israel. Like Shem who was a Noahide and taught Abraham. Non-jews are permitted as long as they study things that have rabbinical commentary and they don't seek to perform rituals or traditions that are ONLY permitted to Jews. Non-Jews should begin with the most most BASIC stuff. :)
Shalom. Without the respect for fundamental moral values - justice, helping the oppressed, the widow, and the orphan - everything else is futile and insignificant (prayers, Sabbath, sacrifices, etc.). Begin with the essentials and then serve. Yes, sacrifices and adherence to the law only make sense if moral values are respected; otherwise, there is no purpose (justice, the oppressed, the widow, and the orphan). Isaiah 1 13 Cease to bring empty offerings! I abhor incense, the beginnings of the month, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot bear to see injustice associated with celebrations. 14 I detest your new moons and your appointed feasts; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. 15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, 17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause. 18 Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. The Messiah Yeshua imparts the teaching of light to you; there is nothing higher. As long as many Jews reject their Messiah, we will achieve nothing. Your Messiah only teaches the Torah, the law of Moses; to reject him is senseless. Matthew 5 43 You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Isaiah 9 5 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Micah 5 1 Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek. 2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. 3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth (Yeshua born in Bethlehem)."
If the Torah she be'al peh is the Mishnah and Gemora, I think perhaps you should state this more as a reality rather than a prohibition. I don't really see any harm coming to anyone from reading these books ... Coursera has a course on it which is quite fun. Moreover, in places like South Korea some people actually study it simply to acquire some semblance of the methods of critical thinking needed to acquire even a basic understanding. But this is the point. To follow what they are talking about, argument after argument, and to benefit from it, you can't just read it passively. To understand it, you must be at least a little obsessed. You have to explain it, have it explained to you, develop an understanding of how the laws relate to one another, of how halacha distances one from violating the original laws, of the unique flavor of logic which mixes common sense with abstract categorical analogy, of the introduction of seemingly absurd situations that bend the laws, of the personalities and priorities of the rabbis, and then you have to believe in and practice what you learn. And why would you do this if you weren't Jewish? I am a gentile with some extremely limited exposure to these books, but I can say that what I took from them were useful cognitive habits that I try to apply elsewhere in my life. Specifically, define a category by its exceptions rather than its most general traits. It helps me with computer programming, believe it or not. If there is a prohibition to be made, maybe it should be for someone who hasn't studied it as a Jew to claim to have an authoritative opinion about it.
Yehudah = acceptance of humiliation = resilience Yehidah = active humiliation So, the Jew is not confined to a land, a culture, or a nation: the people of Israel has the Lord of all lands as their Guiding Light. Secondly, the Jew has to be of the People of Israel, not exactly the congregation of the progeny of Isaac (because all nations, one way or another, shall make part of the family of Abraham). Instead, Israel are the tamed and meek at heart, who sharpen themselves using their resilience to the situations, and plant the seeds of the Lord everywehre, making their best efforts in turning simple men into Children of God. Such resilience, pressuposes ardor towards God and His Justice, as well as insatisfaction with this world of material pleasures, what produces a sentiment of detachment from this very same world (this is why a Jew must not make distinction between people, because the Jew shall always be a foreigner, no matter the place having been gone to.) Thus, the Oral Law, the hacks given to the Written Law, are not for anyone to delve into, because it implies sanctification, discipline, dedication, resilience, and consistency. It's a lifetime study, and just a lifetime is not sufficient for that. This is why it is said in the Bible: "Unto you (i.e., the close disciples) is given the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heavens." We should not give pearls to the swine, but, at the same time: what has been told you in occult, proclaim it soundfully. But it doesn't mean necessarily to explain detailedly every single thing, but say it in such a way that the message is given to the soul: implicitudes need perspicacy to be understood and for the soul of the listener to understand them carefully, and also learn them by practicing
Thank you for taking on this question. I am a non-Jew who has never belonged to any religion. I was agnostic and then I studied them all with all of my free time and concluded that the Torah is the truth. I have been a Ben Noach for about 4 years now and host an online study of the 7 Laws (via the Divine Code - english version of the Sheva Mitzvot). Currently, I am studying the relationship between Bnai Israel and certain groups of non-Jews, such at the the children of Heth, the Rechabites and most especially, the Kenites. The Kenites, in particular because they are clearly held in the highest regard in the Torah. They are the highest level for non-Jews. The Kenites held a place on the Sanhedrin, guarded the gate and were mentioned as scholars and scribes! We can clearly see that this group camped or "nested" along with Judah/Israel. I am working on a book about the Kenites and, GOD willing, I will be able to finish it this year. I am always careful not to step on Israel's toes. The Torah belongs to them. That said, there were covenants before Sinai. Am I able to study the Kenites in order to achieve the highest level I can reach as a non Jew and fulfill my potential? I have to say that studying them has increased my fear of GOD exponentially. The Torah must be from GOD.
Boerboel 1652 I never belonged to any religion, but I studied all of them. Nothing can compare to the Torah. I was agnostic. Then I took 3.5 years to study every religion and spiritual system with all of my spare time. I analyzed and compared all of them. The Torah was the clear winner. The integrity of the text is unmatched. I am familiar with both the original Jesus movement AND the so called “Pauline” Christianity, which is mostly Pagan. There are soooo many issues with the integrity of the NT. And the Gospel accounts are wildly different.
The Torah is for everybody. There is one law for the native born and the stranger that lives among them. The gentiles that attach themselves to YAHOVAH are complete equals of any Jew.
A gentile may just confuse things by studying Torah, if he does not really want to accept Hashem as the one and only G-d by heart he will just study it to look how to critique the Torah with the NT that he does not really have a change to the true G-d he may just be looking how to go against it and then talk about their Jesus. Im studying the Torah but i decided in my heart by myself to follow Hashem and that He is the one and only G-d. Even if im not a convert cause i have no teacher, i know who i have put my trust and faith. I was Christian before cause that was what most of the childrens are teached in the Island of Puerto Rico, but no one teached me about Judaism or told me nothing it was a desire whitin my heart that told me i was not in the right way, that there is only one G-d and something spiritual made me look for Hashem and the roots out of nowhere and made me feel to follow the truth, and He made me feel the truth and discern from false things and true things in life and gave me visions that i dont share but i use for myself to grow. And i dont even know how to reach a Rabbi to help me, but that doesnt mean i will wait till i can find one to talk, to start studying Torah, cause my heart longs for Hashem and His word. But there is truth, that some gentiles dont study Torah with good intentions, just confuse things then confused others mixing the Torah with the NT and Jesus and start looking for similarities by convinience. To make their own truth and transgiverse the words in a way that can benefit them confusing others and convincing people to change to Christianity or try to pass as Jew then start saying that Yeshua is G-d and its the same dog with a different bone like we say in my island, just makeover, that many (Christians) think they are Jews but they dont change to the true G-d instead they say that Yeshua is the Messiah, be aware of those people, the (Messianic Jews). There are Jews that really are Jews by name but dont follow Hashem the one and only G-d. Cause how they work. I may not convert has i truly want to be for Him, and be the one that Hashem wants me to be, but im on my way. I just needed to accept it in my heart let my mind know it and never forget, but is a thing of changing owr hearts first so we can change our minds to finally take the step and go out of idolatry and false teachings.
You are right.... but Yeshua is the way to the Father...Yeshua did not change the Torah.... he corrected the teaching... study it again and read Matt 5-7
@@diggingdeeper3138 there is no way between me and the Father, there is only one way and one G-d and no one needs more than the Torah to reach the Father by following Hashem word.
But doesn't the Rambam also state in the Mishneh Torah that a benee Noach is allowed to study those parts of the Torah she'baal peh which are about the seven mitzvot that apply to him? (under the guidance of a rabbi / mori)
Rambam sets the guidelines for Judaism. He is our most esteemed scholar. If you ignore rambam you're just not a Jew plain and simple. Christianity and islam work on prophetic mentality Judaism does not.
@@jeffvincent6690 Moshe didn't create the 13 guidelines of faith for the Jewish people. Moshe had his duty. Ironically rambam is called the second Moshe. So you ironically destroyed your own point. Rambam is king.
@@brazilianman92 The "guidelines for faith" is the Torah. (Instructions) The Mitzvot was given to the ppl at Sinai, right? But they were a mixed multitude. You think there is no diff between oral Torah, (tradition) & written Torah, (Gen.-Deut) Isn't that convenient? So I need a Rabbi to understand the ways of Hashem? I don't think so. What difference then is there between the Xian pastors (that preach a lawless Messiah btw) & the Jewish Rabbis then who say the Ruach Hokodesh can't instruct those that seek Him? It's the same "appeal to authority" nonsense that traditions of men have supported for thousands of years.
@@jeffvincent6690 Not really as Torah is simply a vague book on the quasi history of the Jewish people. Being a jew is ethnic first and foremost. Jewish theology is a whole other business. Which requires the learned scholars to relay on. One cant strip one of their blood. Neither can one magically change their ethnicity through feels. Oral came before written as any society had oral before written. Yes you need expert experience to your doctor. So why would theology be any different? Logic is logic. Hashem created logic for a reason.
It goes without saying that there is overlap in the subjects of Tanach and Talmud, and that Tanach commentaries will contain Talmudic concepts & maybe word for word passages. So, what does one do? Certainly non Jews have no say in matters strictly to do with the Law, but it is almost as certain that the Talmud is going to be run into in the Tanach commentaries.
This video is the perfect explanation of the most important problem of the word: Priests! Rabbis or Catholic Priest are the same. Their only goal is to divide people in order to have power.
Thats one of the reasons I always kept out of religion is main purpose is to devide and conquer. I was born to the Christian faith it was very divided one sec of Christianity couldn't agree with the other so after a lot of soul surching I left. It's strange because when see different religions around the world that either want you in or they want you out. But my ancestral religion wasn't Christianity we didn't become Christians until the 6th century it was fact Druadic faith one of the oldest in the world 4th century BC
People like you are the same. The religion of Godlessness, far more dangerous and deadly than anything else. Turned the world into a graveyard in the last century. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot.
i know with every fiber of my being that HaShem through Ruach HaKodesh led me to study Torah...these people who are saying that only certain people to these covenants are just men, human beings just like me.. If you are being led by the Ruach HaKodesh, then study...Obedience to Adonai always is first... This all about giving Him reverence, not man...any man...it is all for the Kingdom which is to come...G-d wants to see the choices you will make based on your obedience... You may have all the education and depts of Torah and Talmud but it does not trump OBEDIENCE for gentiles...
Well, there are different meanings of "Goi". The use of the word here seems to be in the meaning of AKUM, idol worshipper. A noahide ger toshav rejecting shittuf, i.e. not adding to the Allmighty any other entity, is said to be allowed to follow jewish practices volontarily as pointed out by RAMBAM Hilchot Melachim 10,10.
I choose to believe the Tanak. HaShems WORD to the prophets. I guess then all gentiles brides such as Ruth were excluded from Israel? Ezekiel differs from you as does Tovia Singer.
I don’t see why not. I would think that the Jews would like if the Gentiles learn and some idea about their religion. It’s better to be educated than ignorant.
concretereddful by that reasoning, no one who doesn’t understand algebra may study it. Or only Spanish people may study Spanish. Torah is Hashems instructions to man. Those who hide and forbid it’s teaching are inviting Hashems wrath. Is there not only one true g-d? Did He write a separate set of instructions for each ethnicity?
It would have taken a tremendous effort to teach and memorize orally. It makes sense not to waste time teaching those who lacked the ability, or loyalty to faithfully preserve, practice, and transmit to next generation.
We find you intellectually honest and we enjoy your teachings- however, one statement struck us as harsh: The written Torah is a dead letter without the Oral Torah. The written Torah is the word of creation spoken forth by the mouth of HaShem- the words of the living One… Oral Torah is the work is men- dead men… So please tell me… which one is dead?
Muchas Gracias Rab por sus enseñanzas de TORA y disculpe si recomiendo el taller es p/q muchos no judíos quieren acercarse a la TORA y nosotros debemos ser LUZ para las naciones y el taller así como sus enseñanzas de TORA son muy adecuados!!
Incredible ignorance in the comments. When you sign up for a website, you won't get the premium content without a subscription. If you want access to the full extent of Judaism's writings, the price is conversion. If you don't want to convert. nothing is preventing you from learning the Tanakh, living life as a righteous Noahide, (and with these things you will actually get scholarly assistance) and meriting the same afterlife as the Jews. Everybody wants to have their cake and eat it too and not gain weight in the process.
I bought and read an Artscroll Tanach because I have consistently read how the Jews from the beginning have taken great care to preserve G_ds word with complete accuracy. There is no "denominational modifications in the text to support divergent theologies." Thank you G_ds chosen people, for preserving the the Most Highs Word with true accuracy. I make a habit to read from that book daily.
How to respect of believe the rulings of God if he/she is not Jew.. I mean monotheist but Muslim, Mandaean, Yazidi,Druze, Bahai etc. What is there eternity after death and resurrection to the day of Judgment?
I would surmise that what could be called "secret knowledge" available only to learned Rabbis goes against the desire of HaShem to reveal His Word to the sons of men whom He created. Baruch HaShem
So it sounds like Gentiles *may* study Torah but may not create new halakhot (formal applications of Torah). And this is to reapect the sages, teachers, fathers of the faith (whatever we call them) in the same way a student would be presumptuous to apply their limited engineering knowledge in a brand new way - because they don't know enough to do so. And new halakhot is reaerved for Jews, yes? It's a matter of reapect, humility, and fidelity to Judaism?
Is there a transcript of this teaching? The closed captions do not do what he says justice in translating. For instance, he says (05:13) according the closed caption: "The same rabii amay immediately goes on to say also and muslim de rivera la hoy. One cannot convey the breath aura to a non Jew." I would love to know the translation (and the correct spelling) of this.
Treating religion like an exclusive club doesn't make sense to me. If someone has a genuine desire to learn, why prevent it? Why block something that is in alignment with the greatest good?
First. We MUST sort out “Gentiles” which simply means Nation/Race of people. Gentile, in the Scriptures does NOT mean, for the MOST part non-Israelite. This leads us to believe just WHO is WHO and who is not. Shalom.
Whenever discussing non-Jews, I think it is best to establish that there are obviously different kinds of non-Jews, who are on different levels. Not all of them study the 7, fear GOD and support Israel. Something interesting from the Midrash: They say Psalm 1:1 and 1:2 are specifically about Noah. What Torah was he studying? One opinion is that by contemplating the 7 Laws he was able to discern other things and therefore acquired ("kaneh", similar to "Keni") almost all the entire Torah.
So here is a point that non Jews like me find contradictive. An example : Every Christian is ordered to study Jewish religion and thereby the Thora. So Christians studying the Thora is unavoidable. Islam likewise orders to study Christianity and Jewish religion. So at least a part of the non-jewish people will study the Thora. Non transparantcy and exclusion from knowledge are not a good thing. At least in my opinion. These things can and are often used as a base for discrinmination against Jewish people. In my opinion a lot of dumb people garanties a despotic world.
I had the Torah read to me by a friend for two hours. all of the interpretations of the Ancient Rabbis, including Rambam. Life lessons for everyone. I live in a very Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. It was a beautiful story, history. I appreciate the culture, and the dedication to spirituality and the sacred knowledge. I have my own spiritual practise, and am open minded to pray to g-d in whatever way, I believe that we need g-d more than ever in these times.
Nochri, Akum, GOY and Noahide is NOT a Ger Toshav. I can life as a Ger Toshav even before Yovel, even a Convert is not a complete Convert as he cannot bring a Korban so is a Ger before Yovel. He is like a Convert and I am like a Ger Toshav. Shalom
What about Shmot 12:49 ? Out of Mitzraim went out a lot of people that were not jews and they were as rebelious to the Torah as the jews. Ben Israel is that who lives by the Torah. He /She has the ruaj of the Creator
Torah and covenant are for all the people.. Shemite descendants are the true Israelites which is scatered all over the world. And most of them are in Africa, why they scatered? because of the Transatlantic Slavery... Japethite and Hamite are the gentile people, it is in the Bible or the Torah. Japeth and Shem are the sons of Noah, their mother is not mention in the bible but if we look and analyzed further this two are NOT the sons of Naama. Ham is the son of Naama and Noah. Who is Naama? Naama is last descendant of Cain after the flood; who carries the serpent blood. Naama and Ham had sex and got Canaa. In him (Canaa) the serpent blood become super active. And the descendant of Canaa was populated, having crossed marriage to Japeth descendant. Now adays is arduous to trace our blood line because of inter- marriages. The best thing to hold is to abide in torah and covenant for us to be able to save our soul. Holy and honor thy father which is YAHAWA the true name of our creator and YAHAWASHI the son. HALALWAYA ALAHAYAM!!
This god that they have he sounds too complex. The nature-based religions are more original. The country I live in no one's ever heard of him so we don't have anything to worry about😅.
Torah is life...Torah is Messiah Yahushua...Yahuah does not wish for His people to be ignorant wether Jew or Gentile...circumcision of the heart is what Messiah Yahushua is and was and still is about...forevermore...to change into the likeness from the inside out...Talmud is of manmade doctrine...the Ruach HaKodesh teaches and changes man through sanctification...
Foolish you are. You have made the point of the rabbi. You should not use Christian doctrine to study Torah. You cannot bring Jesus, who is not the savior, into the Torah. He is nowhere found in Hebrew. The real messiah has not yet come, and christians have changed their interpretation of Torah to fit a false narrative. Christianity was and is founded on paganism of the Roman church. You should research that. Just because billions of people believe in Jesus doesn't make it true. 99% of all Jews look at Christianity from an educated Hebrew perspective, and they completely reject Christianity for good reason. When you grow up learning truth, you know counterfeit when you see it.

Now, this just goes against HaShem's instructions to make welcome anyone who wants to be part of His people. Jews have ignored that the Israelite nation was created "to be a light to the nations", and apparently forget that all people of the world would be blessed through Avraham. Torah is the way meant for the whole world, the nation He created was to carry that light. They failed, are still in exile, and still keep putting Torah second to their sages and ancient commentary. I'm speaking generally, I know Jews who do not ascribe to this insular, "the Torah is just for us" mindset. I have had the most excellent teaching from Jews and Rabbis for years. But it is sad that, as a whole, the religious Jews want to behave as if HaShem and His Torah is only for them.
Bill Mueller Wrong! Studying what one has NO understanding of is NOT right.
We have Israel and have reached the position of most power. We did not fail. The Torah states most gentiles will die in the final war. The light onto the nations doesnt mean all will be saved.
concretereddful is understanding not gained through study?
concretereddful by that reasoning, no one who doesn’t understand algebra may study it. Or only Spanish people may study Spanish. Torah is Hashems instructions to man. Those who hide and forbid it’s teaching are inviting Hashems wrath. Is there not only one true g-d? Did He write a separate set of instructions for each ethnicity?
@@lostinart I've actually been thinking about this a lot. Maybe g-d did write a different set of instructions for each ethnicity. Or at least Jews-Christans-Muslims. The atheist movement is getting more and more popular. Maybe the point is to come together in some way. As someone who grew up around Christians and recently started studying the other 2 it seems like the father is judaism who teaches with stern hand and who gives the son who preaches compassion and sends the holy spirit of the Lord. The Quran. Maybe the objective is to put the three together. Didn't g-d say I've made you different so you may know each other?
Shalom Rav , I am a gentile student of Hebrew and my only source of pure Hebrew is the Torah and prophet Hezekiel points out tha gentiles can get inheritance sude by sude with Jews in the New Israel Ezekiel 47 vs 22
If conversion was easier (which it should be according to Rambam) there really wouldn’t be much of an issue with gentiles studying Torah or Talmud.
What’s the difference between Torah and Talmud?
@@abejimenez2233 talmud is part of the Torah. Is not a difference. Talmud is the mishna and gemorrah. Oral Torah had to be written down much later when we were being persecuted so as not to lose it. That is the mishna. The gemorrah is written later also when we were being persecuted and is a commentary to elucidate the mishna.
I am a gentile and I Studie the old Testament
If you convert you wouldn't be a gentile
If I heard this correctly, a non Jew may read the Written Torah but not learn the Oral Torah.
How would the non Jew learn about the Noahide Laws without the Oral Torah? If a Jew teaches the Noahide Laws would he not be transmitting Oral Torah, that according to this video is forbidden?
That's right because noahide laws are not biblical written Torah. The true Torah says that these laws are for all. Not just the stranger gets a sabbath, but even the beasts.
@@kickdragon they are in the Torah. Details regarding them you need the oral Torah for
The oral Torah contradicts the written because they are added traditions of men. How many pages of Sabbath laws alone in the oral? Talk about adding extra burdens to men...I understand the WHY of it, good intentions and all, but look at where it has gone, what is it, 80 pages of Sabbath laws? This is why we are not to add or take away from scripture
@@kickdragon that isn't adding new laws is explaining shabbat laws plus the whole oral Torah is not added to the Torah. The oral Torah also is from hashem from Sinai too
You obviously no extremely little about the oral Torah. Not even the basics. Go learn way more before trying to argue about it.
Yes stay away from talmudic teachings, they are neither good for Jews nor for gentiles
Maybe the Rabbi could expound more on what it says in Sanhedrin 59a1. The following text is from the Artscroll Talmud Bavli.
Sanhedrin 59a1
The Gemara answers:
There, the Baraisa refers to their seven Noahite commandments. An isolated who studies Torah to become knowledgeable about his own obligations is commanded.
R'Yochanan, though, was referring to an isolated who studies laws that are not applicable to him.
Then in Note 10 it states:
Meiri explains that R' Yochanan's prohibition refers to an idolater who learns the precepts of the Torah and the Talmud in order to mislead Israelites. That is, he wishes to use his knowledge of Israelite law to trick them into thinking that he is an Israelite and then influence them. A person is therefore fit to be punished for studying the Torah for such a purpose. However, if a Noahite studies the seven commandments that apply to him, he should be honored like a Kohen Gadol even if his investigations lead him to study most of the precepts of the Torah. Since his main purpose in studying is knowledge of the Noahite laws, there is no concern that he will influence Israelites (see also Chamra VeChayei)

Thanks you've explained it way better and clearer than the rabbi has
in the desert there were foreigners with the Israelites. God spoke to them and gave them the Torah also. It was not until after the Babylon exile when the Jews leaders started to separate one group from the rest. forgetting in the desert there were no Jews yet only Israelites. Not until 100 years later Judah became known as the Jews. God gave the Torah to all of those in the exodus not just the Israelites but to the foreigners with them.
It is so sad that you don't even remember your own history. God gave the torah and the tanak to all who believe and follow him.
Yes...believe AND follow. Follow all the way, not from afar.
The same law applies to the native and the foreigner
allowed? who could possibly regulate such a restriction? it's absurd to suggest anyone isn't allowed to study/read whatever...
I guess it only applies to either people who respect their authority or who are under their legal jurisdiction (such as a Jewish state that they were in charge of).
Even in Israel, no way realistically to stop anyone from studying the Torah
@@The_Temple Well, Israel is a secular state. Also, there are lots of laws on the books that are difficult to enforce, they just do what they can. Having a difficult to enforce law still suppresses behavior you don't want. Not that I'm advocating this law, I don't accept the authority of the oral torah, and yet I read it sometimes.
@@bettehutchens2918 merely saying such a restriction is patently absurd
The unseen force
In all those verses it says "Oved Kohavim" someone who worships Idolatry. Not gentile. Please stay true to the God you believe in.
And furthermore:
"The Gemara raises an objection to Rabbi Yoḥanan’s statement from a baraita: Rabbi Meir would say: From where is it derived that even a gentile who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest? It is derived from that which is stated: “You shall therefore keep My statutes and My ordinances, which if a man does he shall live by them” (Leviticus 18:5). The phrase: Which if priests, Levites, and Israelites do they shall live by them, is not stated, but rather: “A man,” which indicates mankind in general. You have therefore learned that even a gentile who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest"
The majority of gentiles are idol worshippers. A righteous gentile is different.
Madson Barbosa Muslim worship the Almighty and prostrate to the Lord they do not worship images, idols, there are similarities between Quran and Torah, ie weighing justly, giving share to charity, prostrating to the Almighty, Prophet Moses peace be upon him amongst other things.
Thank you
The word akum is censorship, is not the correct text.
So much confusion in the comments.
1. If you convert you would no longer be a gentile. You would be as jewish as me who was born jewish
2. Other religions say you have to convert or you are not saved. We say you do not have to and there is another option. Giving an extra option can't be seen as mkre unwelcoming then not giving an extra option
This is a tad sad, if your God is the true God (which I believe) and you (Jews) should help me to know your God...why shouldn’t I study all of it? So that I may know God’s ways to please Him?

“A gentile who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest” - Sanhedrin 59a:4
The gentiles are required to study the Torah in genesis in order to know the 7 laws of Noah.
Oh my. Too late. 6 years in studying, obeying and living Torah. Listen to Rabbis for understanding. Love HaShem and Torah so. HaShem is ONE.. Its in my heart and soul. Can't remove it. TORAH Shema will b last Words on my lips when I leave this planet.
Isaiah 56:4-7 4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant-
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls
a memorial and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that will endure forever.
6 And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister to him,
to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant-
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.”
8 The Sovereign Lord declares-
The gentile can study the Torah. The gentile cannot study the Talmud and this rabbi knows this.
Reform And Reconstructionist Jews don’t even study the Talmud.
What’s to stop anyone from studying Talmud or anything for that matter?
Ive listened tothe first 5 minutes. Firstly, G-d said that through Abraham all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
What is a non-Jew woman to do?
Either follow the 7 noachide laws or convert. Amazing to do either
*Ezekiel **47:22** the end of the matter.*
So I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. I admit I'm a non Jew looking for truth and who HaShem is. So I thought I'd study both the Oral and Written Torah. I thought if I studied both the Oral and Written Torah I would find truth and learn more about HaShem
Fascinating that he never actually quote
the Torah itself 🤔
When a non-Jew converts to Judaism, he renounces (loses) his non-Jewish family. Now there is a mitzvah to join with your blood family at a certain point and converts cannot fulfill the mitzvah because they’re not genetically related to tribe of Judah.
Conversion and Noahidism are both stumbling blocks intentionally placed before the blind, by Jews who know they will keep all for themselves.
If I may ask a question Rabbi. I left Christianity and embraced Noahide after 32 years as a Christian adult, educator, author and Film Producer...only after 18 years of reviewing "Pirkei Avot" and many ethics based aspects of the "Torah Shebaal peh". It was due to this that the position made clear sense, and I could not have come to that understanding without such. Are you saying I crossed a line by studying such??? I do not intend to convert, but to labor to aid Torah order as the pursuit of drawing closer to Hashem! I am just asking for a bit of clarity as to what is actually 'OFF LIMITS"'
Chacham Dan just like you I was drawn to Torah by God. I never willingly wanted to understand so much abt it by myself so I’m pretty sure there’s a good reason why I’m being guided to learn it. Hashem wants to teach Gentiles as Well. He has a plan for the nations. what about Noahides? We all must go back to the Jewish roots.
@RabinoBoricuaVirtual thanks so much for the enlightenment you just don't know how much you've helped me 💐 your amazing I've learnt more from this reading than from watching this video. Do you have a youtube channel so i can subscribe

To be put to death means he studies what is permitted to him, that his old self dies spiritually. He begins his spiritual journey to become like the High Priest of Israel. Like Shem who was a Noahide and taught Abraham. Non-jews are permitted as long as they study things that have rabbinical commentary and they don't seek to perform rituals or traditions that are ONLY permitted to Jews. Non-Jews should begin with the most most BASIC stuff. :)
Shalom. Without the respect for fundamental moral values - justice, helping the oppressed, the widow, and the orphan - everything else is futile and insignificant (prayers, Sabbath, sacrifices, etc.). Begin with the essentials and then serve.
Yes, sacrifices and adherence to the law only make sense if moral values are respected; otherwise, there is no purpose (justice, the oppressed, the widow, and the orphan).
Isaiah 1
13 Cease to bring empty offerings! I abhor incense, the beginnings of the month, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot bear to see injustice associated with celebrations.
14 I detest your new moons and your appointed feasts; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
18 Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
The Messiah Yeshua imparts the teaching of light to you; there is nothing higher. As long as many Jews reject their Messiah, we will achieve nothing. Your Messiah only teaches the Torah, the law of Moses; to reject him is senseless.
Matthew 5
43 You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Isaiah 9
5 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Micah 5
1 Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek.
2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth (Yeshua born in Bethlehem)."
If the Torah she be'al peh is the Mishnah and Gemora, I think perhaps you should state this more as a reality rather than a prohibition. I don't really see any harm coming to anyone from reading these books ... Coursera has a course on it which is quite fun. Moreover, in places like South Korea some people actually study it simply to acquire some semblance of the methods of critical thinking needed to acquire even a basic understanding. But this is the point. To follow what they are talking about, argument after argument, and to benefit from it, you can't just read it passively. To understand it, you must be at least a little obsessed. You have to explain it, have it explained to you, develop an understanding of how the laws relate to one another, of how halacha distances one from violating the original laws, of the unique flavor of logic which mixes common sense with abstract categorical analogy, of the introduction of seemingly absurd situations that bend the laws, of the personalities and priorities of the rabbis, and then you have to believe in and practice what you learn. And why would you do this if you weren't Jewish? I am a gentile with some extremely limited exposure to these books, but I can say that what I took from them were useful cognitive habits that I try to apply elsewhere in my life. Specifically, define a category by its exceptions rather than its most general traits. It helps me with computer programming, believe it or not. If there is a prohibition to be made, maybe it should be for someone who hasn't studied it as a Jew to claim to have an authoritative opinion about it.
Yehudah = acceptance of humiliation = resilience
Yehidah = active humiliation
So, the Jew is not confined to a land, a culture, or a nation: the people of Israel has the Lord of all lands as their Guiding Light.
Secondly, the Jew has to be of the People of Israel, not exactly the congregation of the progeny of Isaac (because all nations, one way or another, shall make part of the family of Abraham).
Instead, Israel are the tamed and meek at heart, who sharpen themselves using their resilience to the situations, and plant the seeds of the Lord everywehre, making their best efforts in turning simple men into Children of God.
Such resilience, pressuposes ardor towards God and His Justice, as well as insatisfaction with this world of material pleasures, what produces a sentiment of detachment from this very same world (this is why a Jew must not make distinction between people, because the Jew shall always be a foreigner, no matter the place having been gone to.)
Thus, the Oral Law, the hacks given to the Written Law, are not for anyone to delve into, because it implies sanctification, discipline, dedication, resilience, and consistency. It's a lifetime study, and just a lifetime is not sufficient for that.
This is why it is said in the Bible: "Unto you (i.e., the close disciples) is given the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heavens." We should not give pearls to the swine, but, at the same time: what has been told you in occult, proclaim it soundfully.
But it doesn't mean necessarily to explain detailedly every single thing, but say it in such a way that the message is given to the soul: implicitudes need perspicacy to be understood and for the soul of the listener to understand them carefully, and also learn them by practicing
Thank you for taking on this question. I am a non-Jew who has never belonged to any religion. I was agnostic and then I studied them all with all of my free time and concluded that the Torah is the truth. I have been a Ben Noach for about 4 years now and host an online study of the 7 Laws (via the Divine Code - english version of the Sheva Mitzvot).
Currently, I am studying the relationship between Bnai Israel and certain groups of non-Jews, such at the the children of Heth, the Rechabites and most especially, the Kenites. The Kenites, in particular because they are clearly held in the highest regard in the Torah. They are the highest level for non-Jews. The Kenites held a place on the Sanhedrin, guarded the gate and were mentioned as scholars and scribes! We can clearly see that this group camped or "nested" along with Judah/Israel. I am working on a book about the Kenites and, GOD willing, I will be able to finish it this year.
I am always careful not to step on Israel's toes. The Torah belongs to them. That said, there were covenants before Sinai.
Am I able to study the Kenites in order to achieve the highest level I can reach as a non Jew and fulfill my potential? I have to say that studying them has increased my fear of GOD exponentially. The Torah must be from GOD.
Boerboel 1652 I never belonged to any religion, but I studied all of them. Nothing can compare to the Torah.
I was agnostic. Then I took 3.5 years to study every religion and spiritual system with all of my spare time.
I analyzed and compared all of them.
The Torah was the clear winner. The integrity of the text is unmatched.
I am familiar with both the original Jesus movement AND the so called “Pauline” Christianity, which is mostly Pagan.
There are soooo many issues with the integrity of the NT. And the Gospel accounts are wildly different.
Johan Strydom Read the works of Jacobus Arminius. May you be guided!😂😜

A gentile may just confuse things by studying Torah, if he does not really want to accept Hashem as the one and only G-d by heart he will just study it to look how to critique the Torah with the NT that he does not really have a change to the true G-d he may just be looking how to go against it and then talk about their Jesus. Im studying the Torah but i decided in my heart by myself to follow Hashem and that He is the one and only G-d. Even if im not a convert cause i have no teacher, i know who i have put my trust and faith. I was Christian before cause that was what most of the childrens are teached in the Island of Puerto Rico, but no one teached me about Judaism or told me nothing it was a desire whitin my heart that told me i was not in the right way, that there is only one G-d and something spiritual made me look for Hashem and the roots out of nowhere and made me feel to follow the truth, and He made me feel the truth and discern from false things and true things in life and gave me visions that i dont share but i use for myself to grow. And i dont even know how to reach a Rabbi to help me, but that doesnt mean i will wait till i can find one to talk, to start studying Torah, cause my heart longs for Hashem and His word. But there is truth, that some gentiles dont study Torah with good intentions, just confuse things then confused others mixing the Torah with the NT and Jesus and start looking for similarities by convinience. To make their own truth and transgiverse the words in a way that can benefit them confusing others and convincing people to change to Christianity or try to pass as Jew then start saying that Yeshua is G-d and its the same dog with a different bone like we say in my island, just makeover, that many (Christians) think they are Jews but they dont change to the true G-d instead they say that Yeshua is the Messiah, be aware of those people, the (Messianic Jews). There are Jews that really are Jews by name but dont follow Hashem the one and only G-d. Cause how they work. I may not convert has i truly want to be for Him, and be the one that Hashem wants me to be, but im on my way. I just needed to accept it in my heart let my mind know it and never forget, but is a thing of changing owr hearts first so we can change our minds to finally take the step and go out of idolatry and false teachings.
You are right.... but Yeshua is the way to the Father...Yeshua did not change the Torah.... he corrected the teaching... study it again and read Matt 5-7

I don't think so. What difference then is there between the Xian pastors (that preach a lawless Messiah btw) & the Jewish Rabbis then who say the Ruach Hokodesh can't instruct those that seek Him?
It's the same "appeal to authority" nonsense that traditions of men have supported for thousands of years.
@@jeffvincent6690 Not really as Torah is simply a vague book on the quasi history of the Jewish people. Being a jew is ethnic first and foremost. Jewish theology is a whole other business. Which requires the learned scholars to relay on. One cant strip one of their blood. Neither can one magically change their ethnicity through feels. Oral came before written as any society had oral before written. Yes you need expert experience to your doctor. So why would theology be any different? Logic is logic. Hashem created logic for a reason.
It goes without saying that there is overlap in the subjects of Tanach and Talmud, and that Tanach commentaries will contain Talmudic concepts & maybe word for word passages.
So, what does one do?
Certainly non Jews have no say in matters strictly to do with the Law, but it is almost as certain that the Talmud is going to be run into in the Tanach commentaries.

But my ancestral religion wasn't Christianity we didn't become Christians until the 6th century it was fact Druadic faith one of the oldest in the world 4th century BC

Well, there are different meanings of "Goi". The use of the word here seems to be in the meaning of AKUM, idol worshipper.

Thank you much, Rabbi, for clarifying this difficult and disturbing topic.
I don’t see why not. I would think that the Jews would like if the Gentiles learn and some idea about their religion. It’s better to be educated than ignorant.
concretereddful by that reasoning, no one who doesn’t understand algebra may study it. Or only Spanish people may study Spanish. Torah is Hashems instructions to man. Those who hide and forbid it’s teaching are inviting Hashems wrath. Is there not only one true g-d? Did He write a separate set of instructions for each ethnicity?
It would have taken a tremendous effort to teach and memorize orally. It makes sense not to waste time teaching those who lacked the ability, or loyalty to faithfully preserve, practice, and transmit to next generation.
Good thing the Rambam isnt the torah.
We find you intellectually honest and we enjoy your teachings- however, one statement struck us as harsh: The written Torah is a dead letter without the Oral Torah.
The written Torah is the word of creation spoken forth by the mouth of HaShem- the words of the living One…
Oral Torah is the work is men- dead men…
So please tell me… which one is dead?
Muchas Gracias Rab por sus enseñanzas de TORA y disculpe si recomiendo el taller es p/q muchos no judíos quieren acercarse a la TORA y nosotros debemos ser LUZ para las naciones y el taller así como sus enseñanzas de TORA son muy adecuados!!
Incredible ignorance in the comments. When you sign up for a website, you won't get the premium content without a subscription. If you want access to the full extent of Judaism's writings, the price is conversion.
If you don't want to convert. nothing is preventing you from learning the Tanakh, living life as a righteous Noahide, (and with these things you will actually get scholarly assistance) and meriting the same afterlife as the Jews. Everybody wants to have their cake and eat it too and not gain weight in the process.
I bought and read an Artscroll Tanach because I have consistently read how the Jews from the beginning have taken great care to preserve G_ds word with complete accuracy. There is no "denominational modifications in the text to support divergent theologies."
Thank you G_ds chosen people,
for preserving the the Most Highs Word with true accuracy. I make a habit to read from that book daily.

Baruch HaShem
So it sounds like Gentiles *may* study Torah but may not create new halakhot (formal applications of Torah). And this is to reapect the sages, teachers, fathers of the faith (whatever we call them) in the same way a student would be presumptuous to apply their limited engineering knowledge in a brand new way - because they don't know enough to do so. And new halakhot is reaerved for Jews, yes? It's a matter of reapect, humility, and fidelity to Judaism?
Is there a transcript of this teaching? The closed captions do not do what he says justice in translating.
For instance, he says (05:13) according the closed caption: "The same rabii amay immediately goes on to say also and muslim de rivera la hoy. One cannot convey the breath aura to a non Jew."
I would love to know the translation (and the correct spelling) of this.
Treating religion like an exclusive club doesn't make sense to me. If someone has a genuine desire to learn, why prevent it? Why block something that is in alignment with the greatest good?

What about a Ger Toshov? Can he study Torah?
I don't see why not. A Ger Toshav is, halakhically, a Jew.
So if conversion is possible according to the Talmud how is one to go about it without studying Torah?

First. We MUST sort out “Gentiles” which simply means Nation/Race of people. Gentile, in the Scriptures does NOT mean, for the MOST part non-Israelite. This leads us to believe just WHO is WHO and who is not. Shalom.
„Gentile“ (Chagiga 14a) and „worshipper of the stars“ (Sanhedrin 59a) are not identical.
Whenever discussing non-Jews, I think it is best to establish that there are obviously different kinds of non-Jews, who are on different levels. Not all of them study the 7, fear GOD and support Israel.
Something interesting from the Midrash: They say Psalm 1:1 and 1:2 are specifically about Noah. What Torah was he studying? One opinion is that by contemplating the 7 Laws he was able to discern other things and therefore acquired ("kaneh", similar to "Keni") almost all the entire Torah.
There is a difference between man made Torah and God's Torah.
So here is a point that non Jews like me find contradictive. An example : Every Christian is ordered to study Jewish religion and thereby the Thora. So Christians studying the Thora is unavoidable. Islam likewise orders to study Christianity and Jewish religion. So at least a part of the non-jewish people will study the Thora.
Non transparantcy and exclusion from knowledge are not a good thing. At least in my opinion. These things can and are often used as a base for discrinmination against Jewish people. In my opinion a lot of dumb people garanties a despotic world.
Christians are not considered as „worshippers of the stars“, but only idolatrists, by violating the 1st and 2nd oft the 10 commandments.
We are all Israel.
No. There is a specific nation of Israel. Has a specific mission to be a light to the nations =(everyone else)
What is the "trashe balpe"?
Torah sh' ba'al pe = oral torah (pe means mouth)
Thank you very much for your explanation.
I had the Torah read to me by a friend for two hours. all of the interpretations of the Ancient Rabbis, including Rambam. Life lessons for everyone. I live in a very Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. It was a beautiful story, history. I appreciate the culture, and the dedication to spirituality and the sacred knowledge. I have my own spiritual practise, and am open minded to pray to g-d in whatever way, I believe that we need g-d more than ever in these times.
Pigeons can read?
So they read you a few pages? Also having your own spiritual practice? So you just invented something yourself?
Nochri, Akum, GOY and Noahide is NOT a Ger Toshav. I can life as a Ger Toshav even before Yovel, even a Convert is not a complete Convert as he cannot bring a Korban so is a Ger before Yovel. He is like a Convert and I am like a Ger Toshav. Shalom
I agree that you cannot teach Torah to an Akum but one who is like a Ger Toshav.
What about Shmot 12:49 ?
Out of Mitzraim went out a lot of people that were not jews and they were as rebelious to the Torah as the jews.
Ben Israel is that who lives by the Torah. He /She has the ruaj of the Creator
Rabbi i have jewish blood from my grandmothers side but my mother isnt a Jew. May i still practice Judaism?
Makes you zero percent Jewish. You are obligated to observe the 7 noachide laws and you are also free to convert if you desire as well.
@@goldengun9970 so basically I wouldn’t be considered equal if I converted? No thanks
@@yashjhari no if you converted you would be considered 100% Jewish. No less Jewish than me who was born Jewish.
@@yashjhari you are 100% Jewish if you convert or have a Jewish mother. You are 0% Jewish if you don't convert or have a Jewish mother.
How was Jethro admitted to learn Torat Moshe bal peh ?
Jethro was a convert. He joined oir nation. As did a heap of Egyptians when we left Egypt
So what exactly is the non-Jew forbidden to study?
@@mannymannyson6720 I assume that also applies to Kabbalah, my favorite subject?
There are multiple opinions. Generally Talmud other than parts that relate to a noahide. But again there are multiple opinions on this matter
The Oral Law that was eventually written down in the Mishnah and Talmud.
If a particular god or religion or book is partially closed like a door you might as well shut the door fully.
Isaiah 56:3 😊❤
Torah and covenant are for all the people.. Shemite descendants are the true Israelites which is scatered all over the world. And most of them are in Africa, why they scatered? because of the Transatlantic Slavery...
Japethite and Hamite are the gentile people, it is in the Bible or the Torah.
Japeth and Shem are the sons of Noah, their mother is not mention in the bible but if we look and analyzed further this two are NOT the sons of Naama.
Ham is the son of Naama and Noah.
Who is Naama? Naama is last descendant of Cain after the flood; who carries the serpent blood.
Naama and Ham had sex and got Canaa. In him (Canaa) the serpent blood become super active.
And the descendant of Canaa was populated, having crossed marriage to Japeth descendant.
Now adays is arduous to trace our blood line because of inter- marriages. The best thing to hold is to abide in torah and covenant for us to be able to save our soul.
Holy and honor thy father which is YAHAWA the true name of our creator and YAHAWASHI the son.
HALALWAYA ALAHAYAM!!
*ya know* ... with the world in such a mess... i wonder... who the fuck needs what?...
This god that they have he sounds too complex. The nature-based religions are more original. The country I live in no one's ever heard of him so we don't have anything to worry about😅.
@@joannechisholm4501 That's your chase. Follow simple man-made "gods" or a complex but real One.
@@molivson your god is indeed complex, more complex than any other god that I have seen.
They say the god of the Bible is a creator god but the I've heard about is the entire opposite.
@@joannechisholm4501
i personally believe the jews are really the philistines in disguise....
How does one convert if they cannot study Torah so as to live by it? Hilarious contradictory man-made faith.
Well to start with if you think it is hilarious and man made you don't convert at all. Turned away.
Yes, everyone should research these 7 laws from the creator called " sheva mitzvot bnei noach "
You tyyy go gyuuot
I'll stay Atheist
What about Onkelos?
He was a convert.
Torah is life...Torah is Messiah Yahushua...Yahuah does not wish for His people to be ignorant wether Jew or Gentile...circumcision of the heart is what Messiah Yahushua is and was and still is about...forevermore...to change into the likeness from the inside out...Talmud is of manmade doctrine...the Ruach HaKodesh teaches and changes man through sanctification...
Foolish you are. You have made the point of the rabbi. You should not use Christian doctrine to study Torah. You cannot bring Jesus, who is not the savior, into the Torah. He is nowhere found in Hebrew. The real messiah has not yet come, and christians have changed their interpretation of Torah to fit a false narrative.
Christianity was and is founded on paganism of the Roman church. You should research that. Just because billions of people believe in Jesus doesn't make it true. 99% of all Jews look at Christianity from an educated Hebrew perspective, and they completely reject Christianity for good reason. When you grow up learning truth, you know counterfeit when you see it.
Yeshua is just a false prophet who has been dead along time. This is a Jewish rabbi. Not pagan christianity
