You've probably heard the saying from the Gemara, Chavruta o mituta (study partner or death). What would you do if you found out your Chavruta was a criminal? Rabbi Yaron Reuven got a message from a Frum Jew that described a business deal he was being offered and asked if it was Cash Advance. After hearing the details the Rabbi told him yes, it's Merchant Cash Advance, but even worse. The truly sad part is this was the business his Chavruta was in!

A viewer asks Rabbi Yaron Reuven if the Zohar is part of the Oral Torah, and then proceeds to argue with the Rabbi. Rabbi Reuven says, yes the Zohar is part of the Oral Torah, and the greatest Sages have studied it and they say, it's Zohar Kadosh, the Holy Zohar. A person that chooses not to believe the Zohar has many problems, starting with going against all the Gadolim who have vouched for it. The truth is most people decide what they believe before they even do a surface i

While America celebrates 250 Years of Freedom, a predatory financial crisis is silently bankrupting the nation's small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. For years Rabbi Yaron Reuven has been a voice crying out in the wilderness warning about the damage caused by predatory lending. After the 2008 banking crisis these Cash Advance lenders discovered an old law they're using to rake in profits and is silently destroying America. The merchant cash advance industr

How do you make Torah your spiritual business? Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings chiddushim on the teachings of Shammai in Pirkei Avot chapter one. The Sages say, the first question a person will be asked when they get to Shamayim is, Did you conduct your business faithfully? Did you operate your business with emunah, knowing that HaShem runs the world and He wants you to learn Torah instead of work overtime? Did you spend money on mitzvot knowing that's what's important? Did you buy

Is this Israel's Bigfoot? Rabbi Yaron Reuven explores ancient proof of a creature called the "Yadua," also known as the "man of the mountain" referenced in the Book of Job. Described in the texts of the Geonim, this vicious, human-like creature grows from the earth, attached by a thick, umbilical-like cord extending from its navel. It feeds directly from the ground and violently attacks any person or animal that comes within the radius of its tether. Because it is too dangero

Rabbi Yaron Reuven tells a story about how people in Merchant Cash Advance compare to the generation before the Flood of Noah. HaShem says, the earth became filled with robbery, everyone was stealing from each other and justifying it, just like today. Ruining people's lives to live in luxury, fulfilling every desire. Everyone thought Noach was crazy for building the Ark and that HaShem would never destroy the world. They thought they were blessed and their success would last

Rabbi Yaron Reuven issues a warning against Ayahuasca retreats and the very real danger of quick spiritual highs. Despite the serious dangers of psychosis and worse, Ayahuasca has become very popular, even within the Jewish community. At least one ayahuasca retreat was shut down for wrongful death of one of their victims, but unfortunately more keep popping up. The Torah forbids taking mind altering substances, and the deaths and mental illness that often result from these "q

Are you honoring your husband? Rabbi Yaron Reuven teaches how a Jewish woman should honor her husband according to the Torah. While a man must love his wife like he loves himself, and honor her even more, a woman should treat her husband like a king. If she's getting him to learn Torah, and fulfilling her other duties as a wife, her husband will have excellent manners and he will shower her with compliments, give her gifts when he can afford them, and treat her like a queen.

A viewer asks, "What is the polite, diplomatic, politically correct way to decline an invitation to a mixed dancing wedding where people will be dressed immodestly?" Rabbi Reuven says, there are two options: tell them you can't go, or tell them the truth of why you can't go. If you care about them, you should politely explain to them that the Torah forbids attending mixed dancing events and immodesty is something HaShem dislikes very much. Explain to them the severity of immo

Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings insights on Parashat Chukat and the passing of a Tzaddik or Tzaddikah from the Zera Shimshon. In this week's Parasha both Miriam and Aharon go to Gan Eden, and traditionally the passing of a Tzaddik serves as an atonement for Am Yisrael. But the Zera Shimshon says, this only applies if we mourn properly and do TeShuva, and this lack of proper mourning is why Miriam's well dried up. Rabbi Reuven also brings an inspiring story about the passing of Rav

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the difference between Rashi and Rabbeinu Tam tefillin. Learn when a Jewish man should wear Rabbeinu Tam tefillin, and some basic laws of how and when to wear them. Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin are only for married men, and should be worn after the Rashi at the end of prayer, without a blessing. Rabbi Reuven also warns to be careful buying from sources that sell at a discount like ebay or Amazon, as usually they aren't kosher and saying a blessing on the

Rabbi Yaron Reuven answers a question that is very popular with antisemites, "Why have the Jewish people been kicked out of so many countries???" The Rabbi gives a surprising answer, it's actually part of prophecies in the Five Books of Moses and reaffirmed by the later Prophets. Continuous exile is how HaShem keeps the Jewish people from being assimilated. Unfortunately, success often leads to a lax in Torah observance, and HaShem causes antisemitism to rise to get us to do

Delve into one of the most profound and challenging stories of the Ten Martyrs from the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 18a). When the Romans sentence a great Jewish Sage to be burned alive wrapped in a Torah scroll, in their cruelty they attempt to prolong his agonizing suffering with water-soaked wool placed over his heart. However, witnessing the Sage's superhuman calm, his teachings to his students, and his holy visions opens the eyes of the Roman executioner. Recognizing the ultima

A viewer asks, "How did the Rabbis in the Talmud know about Gehinnom if it's not written in the Five Books of Moses?" Rabbi Yaron Reuven explains that one of the proofs is in this week's Torah portion, Parashat Korach. Where Korach and his assembly descended alive into She'olah, one of the names for Gehinnom. There are dozens of proofs of Gehinnom just in the Tanakh, and thousands in the Oral Torah.

Sometimes before HaShem wants to give someone a blessing He gives them a big test to see if they really deserve it. Rabbi Yaron Reuven tells a story of a supporter of Torah and KIRUV that was expecting a blessing and got a $5,000 fine instead! Does that sound like a blessing? The blessing was hiding and waiting for them to pass the test. Once they accepted it was from HaShem and they knew their donation was a big mitzvah, HaShem opened the windows of Heaven wide to pour down

What do Tucker Carlson, Efraim Palvanov, and Joe Rogan have in common? Rabbi Yaron Reuven reveals a common, yet unlikely thread of many heretics and antisemites: they've all read the Book of Enoch. A book that has been corrupted and is forbidden to read according to Judaism. When the Jewish Sages say something is forbidden, it's for good reason, and you can see why. The people that read it not only turn into heretics, but often haters of the Jewish people.

Are you a woman wondering about converting to Judaism? Rabbi Yaron Reuven tells a story of a woman in the process of conversion to Orthodox Judaism for four years and nobody told her about Taharat HaMishpacha (Laws of Family Purity). She had a misunderstanding about the process that would have made most women run away, but she withstood the test and was relieved to learn the truth. This story emphasizes the importance of asking questions and finding a Rabbi willing to help wi

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught that the world is like a very narrow bridge and the main thing is not to fear at all. Rabbi Yaron Reuven says, most people know very little about what Rebbe Nachman actually taught. Hear a big chiddush from Sichot HaRan that will surprise you about what Rebbe Nachman said was the most important thing to serving HaShem.

Rabbi Yaron Reuven reveals how to get HaShem to answer your prayers by living a verse in the Book of Jeremiah, where HaShem promises He will answer your prayers and fulfill your blessings.

Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings chidushim on Parashat Shelach and how even great people can sometimes suffer from a lack of emunah. HaShem told the people Eretz Yisrael is a Land of Milk and Honey, but they wanted to see proof. Many people today do the same thing without realizing it.
