Can A Jew Learn Torah From A Christian Or Messianic Jew? - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (24)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven addresses the issue of inviting Christian and Messianic Jewish speakers to Jewish communities. He emphasizes the Torah prohibition against learning from heretical sources and the severe spiritual risks involved. Rabbi Reuven criticizes the decision of a synagogue to host a prominent Catholic missionary, highlighting the potential for leading Jews astray. He references halachic sources to support his stance, arguing that any association with idol worshippers, even for seemingly secular topics, is forbidden. The shiur stresses the importance of safeguarding Jewish faith and preventing chilul Hashem (desecration of God's name).
