After Hours with Rabbi Yaron Reuven (9)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of staying true to Torah and not bending the rules for convenience. He criticizes the proliferation of self-proclaimed “poskim” (halakhic decisors) who lack proper knowledge and authority. Rabbi Reuven emphasizes the need for proper learning and guidance, highlighting the importance of using art scroll to aid in understanding complex texts. He then delves into the concept of “mussar” (character development), arguing that there is a “mussar crisis” within religious communities. He explains that many individuals, despite their outward religiosity, lack proper behavior and fail to understand the true meaning of Jewish values. Rabbi Reuven stresses the importance of modesty, particularly for women, and explains that it stems from the understanding that they are priceless and should be treated with respect. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of helping others achieve teshuvah (repentance) as a way to gain HaShem’s favor and receive miracles. He explains that HaShem is hesitant to fulfill the prayers of individuals who are not actively helping others return to Torah observance.
