FIXING OUR Dangerous Jewish Community PART 2 - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (173‬)

In this shiur by Rabbi Yaron Reuven, he addresses the importance of rebuking and motivating the Jewish community to do chuva (repentance). He emphasizes the need for the rabbi to rebuke the community, even if they are religious, to prevent them from falling and lack of motivation. Rabbi Yaron Reuven stresses the importance of being motivated by fear of punishment and the consequences of not doing chuva. He also explains that there are seven judgments on the body and four judgments on the soul, highlighting the need for motivation to do good deeds and avoid punishment. https://www.jerusalem-herald.com/single-post/2019/04/03/UK-Chief-Rabbis-Kosher-Stamp-for-LGBT-Education-Law?fbclid=IwAR2m7X60Gv_Lq3Bi7gDrpGXJHlhP9E-AN-FBb3Z5YCr6IPp65Epufbe0SIw *Rabbi Yaron Reuven, an Israeli-born rabbi in the U.S. who is popular for his kiruv (Jewish outreach) work, spoke to The Jerusalem Herald about the dire implications of Rabbi Mirvis’ guidelines. He noted they give an impression that Judaism supports homosexuality and transgenderism, despite the religion’s explicit prohibitions against such behavior. “The problem is [Mirvis’] position and perceived status puts a kosher stamp on his actions, thereby making what the Torah forbids appear as if it is now a mitzvah (commandment),” said Rabbi Reuven. Not mincing any words, he added, “The fact that he is a Chief Rabbi makes this 100 times more dangerous than the countless locals Rabbis that have sold their souls to the devil.” Rabbi Reuven noted that from the response he has received to his criticism of Rabbi Mirvis’ guidelines, he has seen that “the majority of people are baffled and distraught by this.”* 00:00:13 The Amalek in your life.
