Hashem has put laws into place i.e. "seed time and harvest time shall not cease" (will always exist) Genesis 8:22
Like gravity 😮😮😮
אמן ואמן!
Thank you so much!
great Jewish jprogram
Karma is not our word. I call it justice. Divine justice. Hashem is always in charge. Hands out reward and punishment. Am yisrael chai. 3,300 years of kicking *ss and not slowing down.
One of my Jewish friend is Buddhist now 😊😊
Excellent
measure for measure
Very interesting, thank you very much Rabbi! I want to learn more about Judaism and I am very grateful for the insights you offer.
Although it seems you have some misconceptions about Buddhism and Hinduism.
In Advaita Vedanta there is not just only one God but also only one Soul. One God has countless manifestations and names. Hinduism also teaches Trinity. Christians say, Judaism teaches Trinity. Is that true?
Teravada Buddhism seeks, as you say, to transcend the world. But Mahayana Buddhism, eg Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches engaged Buddhism. And it's not just craving that leads to suffering but the ignoble eightfold path, ie wrong view (eg not perceiving our interbeing), wrong thought, wrong speach, wrong deed, wrong livelihood, wrong mindfulness, wrong diligence, and wrong concentration.
Zen Buddhism is also very much a way of life. A huge difference to Judaism though is that Buddha tought not to blindly believe any scripture or any person, not even himself, but to scientifically and practically test it ourselves.
You rightly say that Buddhists don't believe in God. That's only half the truth though. Buddha didn't deny the existence of God. When asked whether God exists or not, Buddha's answer was a very deep joyous peaceful silence. This could also mean that rather than pointing to God with words and using words for what is beyond words he wanted to reveal God's Spirit through peaceful joyous presence. Maybe like Hasidic Jews and Hindus reveal God's Spirit through music?
Although in Hinduism you can't wipe clean the slate with access to the system as in Judaism and Christianity, in Hinduism there is something called Nikamakarma where you exit the system and return to God when you do good things and don't want to reap the fruits of your actions but offer them to God.
Am Yisrael Chai!
We have buried treasure under the floor boards of our own homes. No need to seek after Hinduism or Buddhism from the east, especially Hindus who believe in several gods fashioned by their own hands and bow down and worship them and even the cow. This is forbidden in Christianity and I believe Judaism too. We are commanded to bow down and worship the only King of Kings - the one true God the creator of the universe and mankind too.
But Xianity worships a supposed "image of Gd", which is forbidden! Xians think everyone else is wrong, everyone else worships idols, except themselves.
Same can be said for Christianity.

8:15 hi rabbi how were these rabbis allowed to teach non Jews Torah?
How is it not לפני עור לא תתן מכשול
Hindu does not mean over the river. Hindu word comes from Sindhu which was and still is a river. But because the Persians and Greek could not pronounce S, they started calling Sindhu, Hindu. It dies not mean Over the River. But yes Judaisn has borrowed considerably from Hinduism and Zorostrianism including the unity of God. You will find both Ram and Shiva, the two famous Hindu deities constantly appearing in Jewish names. For example, Abram (the actual name of Abraham). And it's not Brahman as you mentioned. Then you have Bamram, a famous Jewish religious writer. Then you have places like Ramallah. From Shiva, a sitting and meditating Hindu deity, you have Yeshiva, which is also a sitting to learn. I can go on and on for miles here with examples, but I hope I have made my point. But most of the connections you have made in this speech are unfounded. 🙏
I’ve heard of Jewboos, but never Hinjews lol 😜

Yes, the nations have borrowed from Judaism, but Judaism borrows from none.
However, at 37:00 approx, u say that we're forgiven, & there's no ripple effect. It's wiped clean.
I don't see how we are free from consequences of sin. And it helps us to fear Gd so that we don't play with sin.
Sarah & Abraham were unwise to take Hagar as a 2nd wife for Avraham, they were surely forgiven, but we're still suffering.
David sinned, was forgiven, but his children suffered.
I wouldn't call it Karma. I'd call it the Father teaching His children responsibility for their own sins.
