Teshuva Questions From New York at BJX (Brooklyn Jewish Xperience Center)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven shares his personal journey from Wall Street to becoming a rabbi. He emphasizes the importance of teshuva (returning to Torah observance), highlighting the concept that HaShem rewards those who do good and punishes those who do bad. He stresses the need for a rabbi as a guide, offering constant support and guidance. Rabbi Reuven describes his own challenging experience with prolonged physical pain and the struggle with negative thoughts. He emphasizes that HaShem gives tests that we can pass, and that ultimately, these challenges lead to personal growth. He also exposes the falseness of Christianity and emphasizes the importance of a strong connection to Torah study.
