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 30 hrs of content 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.

Transcript
0:42You lost a toy, you broke something, you want something; you're never allowed to cry over something material. Why? Because it brings a kitrug, a case against you in Shamayim. Why do you cry? Okay, so you lost 500 bucks, you lost 5,000, you lost a toy, you lost something material. So Shamayim says, oh yeah, Hashem, he's crying about this toy. She's crying that she doesn't have a fridge. over the last 2,000 years by the Christians. They cry about that. The Torah is being desecrated every single day by both religious and irreligious people. They're crying about my Torah. Over a million kids in Eretz Yisrael do not know. They cry about those kids. There are hundreds of families, thousands of families
2:10That we're trying to reach and help. I mean, we can only do what HaKadosh Baruch Hu allows us to do. Anyone that saw the video we publicized a couple of days ago, I couldn't watch it. It took me two or three times to actually watch the video. Even though we made it, it took me a few times to actually sit there and watch the whole thing. A seven-minute video, and after three minutes, I just start crying. I have to stop and wait until the next day. Why? You're seeing tzaddikim with little kids whose shoes don't fit them. They're too small on the kid. The shoes are ripped, the opening, the shoes open like they're a hippopotamus. She's wearing winter clothes because they can't afford anything else. In the summer, 90 degrees weather over there, they can't afford anything else. A mother says, "My kids are asking me, Ima, Ima, can we have food? Food, food. Not Ima, can I have a Nintendo? Not Ima, can I have another motorcycle? Can I have food?"
3:11You cry about those people? You cry about them? What did you cry about? You lost the game that you were playing against your friend on the internet? He beat you three times in a row. You're upset. You broke the joystick? That's what you're crying about? That's what we said? Okay, so? That's what you care about? We'll turn you into a joystick. Cry about joysticks, we'll turn you into a joystick. When we cry about material things, it doesn't look good. Never cry about material things. Never get angry about material things. Why? HaKadosh Baruch Hu is going to say, look, if you at least cry about material things as much as you cry about the spiritual, okay, fine. Don't get me wrong, it's tough to lose money. Trust me, I lost millions. Very, very difficult to lose money. But do we care as much about HaKadosh Baruch Hu as we do about our own pocket? You're going to cry about losing money; you're going to cry about all types of material things. Fine, that makes you human. You shouldn't, but nonetheless, it makes you human to at least have a difficulty. But are you crying about the fact that we have kids who went to yeshiva, kids who went to yeshiva their whole life? They added me to some group. Baruch Hashem, I got out right away when I found out what this group was. But before I got away, I was doing teshuvah last night.
4:34So by the time I got home, I saw there's like 300 messages in this group. All yeshiva bochrim, from here, from Florida. What are they discussing in this group? The filthiest stuff you can possibly imagine. A meivin yavin. Cursing, filth, garbage, disgusting. You would have thought you were in some prison cell with a bunch of hooligans. Yes, yeshiva guys or former students, if that’s what the product is of the yeshiva system here in Florida, you might as well sign up for public school. I know public school kids that don’t speak like that. You’re crying about those people, but they don’t know anything. If you’re not crying about the fact that they don't know anything and they have such filthy mouths and such horrible addictions...
5:35Can you allow yourself to cry about your Nintendo, your PlayStation, your money, and your stock market? How can you allow yourself? If you cry just as much, at least you're going in the right direction. Can you allow yourself to cry about your Nintendo, your PlayStation, your money, and your stock market? How can you allow yourself? If you cry just as much about your missed tefilah (prayers), at least you're going in the right direction.
