Parashat Vayakhel: Dogs In The Torah, Steps To Bring Miracles

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of Shabbat and how it is the foundation of Judaism. He emphasizes that even HaShem's commands, like building the Mishkan, are secondary to Shabbat observance. He also explains that a person's true connection to HaShem comes through Torah study, which brings fulfillment and happiness. Rabbi Reuven addresses the question of why HaShem emphasizes the Mishkan's construction with so much detail. He points out that the Mishkan, while smaller and less elaborate than the Bet Mikdash, represents a time of greater intimacy and love between HaShem and the Jewish people. He also reminds listeners that a healthy relationship with HaShem requires a balance between love and fear. The discussion on dogs in the Torah highlights their symbolism, primarily representing a lack of shame and serving as a reminder of the importance of proper behavior. Rabbi Reuven shares a story about a dog that appeared during a Shiva, suggesting that animals can sometimes have human souls. He also emphasizes the importance of humility and respecting one's wife when pursuing a more observant lifestyle.

Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi.
