Amazing Questions About God From Hollywood (5)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the spiritual aspect of Hanukkah and how it relates to increasing in holiness. He then addresses questions from viewers about various Jewish practices, including the obligation of the Shema, the importance of studying Torah with Kavod, and the challenge of maintaining modesty in today's society. He emphasizes that keeping Shabbat is easier today than in the past, and that the difficulty lies in fulfilling mitzvot that are not readily available in stores, such as maintaining fear of Hashem. He concludes by discussing the importance of protecting oneself from spiritual harm, particularly in a world where physical touch is often seen as commonplace. Rabbi Reuven suggests several strategies, such as wearing a kippah, dressing modestly, and carrying something in one's hands to avoid unwanted physical contact. He also emphasizes that while the practices of one's rabbi may differ, it's crucial to be clear that these actions are based on one's personal relationship with God.
