Parashat VaYechi: Your Rabbi, Brit Mila, Fasting, Rebuke Obligation, End Of Days

One of the major mitzvot that people have to really work upon is setting a time for learning Torah, and for beginners it is recommended that they learn the topic of their choice, and in the midst of it hopefully they will be interested in other topics as well. It is our obligation to strive to be like the major talmid chachamim of our generations whether we achieve the end result or not. And the more we are involved in the material world the more difficult it gets to connect with HaShem and learn his Torah. One of the major desires that is universal is the desire for food. That is the reason why we have fast days to solely focus on our souls and spiritual needs rather than feed the body. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s33/sh/dc95bf16-1eb9-436f-8869-ac6e8e8f6bc3/9052ba33869667c3440a7cbf885fca07 To Support our KIRUV and Torah Teachings work please DONATE at www.BeEzratHaShem.org If you'd like to invite Rabbi Yaron Reuven to give a lecture at your synagogue, home or office please email Info@BeEzratHaShem.org Rabbi Reuven is based out of Florida but travels to give lectures to different groups.

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. His Teshuva story is sure to catch the heart of every listener. Rabbi Reuven’s shiurim are in English and Hebrew. His classes are focused on spreading the truth and divinity of the Torah through MUSSAR, scientific proofs, and many other methods to reach each individual listener. Rabbi Reuven is the leading educator on the topic of wasting seed in the English language with over 100 videos about this topic published online. Rabbi Yaron Reuven is a proud member of the Igud HaRabbonim (The Rabbinical Alliance of America), a national rabbinic organization founded in 1942. Today, our 900+ members are congregational leaders, religious teachers, chaplains, heads of Jewish organizations and communal leaders united in their commitment to traditional Orthodox Judaism.
