Yirat HaShem - Amazing Questions About God From Hollywood (27)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of fearing HaShem and fulfilling mitzvot. He argues that fearing HaShem is the foundation of a strong relationship with Him and that fulfilling mitzvot, even when difficult, brings great spiritual reward. He uses the analogy of a fly that keeps returning when one is spiritually asleep, emphasizing that the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) will always be present. Rabbi Reuven also explains that HaShem created the world because He is good and wanted to share His goodness with us. He created rules for Himself, however, to ensure that He only gives goodness to those who deserve it. He uses stories and examples to demonstrate the incredible miracles that HaShem performs daily, from providing food for people to arranging marriages. He highlights the dangers of being a Jew without Torah, as it can lead to evil and self-destruction. Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of fearing HaShem and fulfilling mitzvot.
