Rabbi Yaron Reuven answers a question about Jewish banking, usury, and laws of lending money. Rabbi Reuven explains that the laws of the Torah are laws of God. HaShem forbids Jews lending money with interest to other Jews, but it's allowed to lend to gentiles with interest. While this law mentioned in numerous places in the Five Books of Moses gives no limits to the interest rate for lending to gentiles, the Talmud and later authorities explain that Jews are forbidden to char

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.

A Shocking recent video discovered that over 60% of Tefillin sold in Judaica stores are NOT KOSHER. Rabbi Yaron Reuven has been warning for years to buy Tefillin from a reliable source, and obviously not from cheap non-kosher sources like ebay or Amazon, but a recent test by Yisroel Dovid Wolf discovered that even among Judaica stores and dedicated Sofrim in America, the results were much worse than expected – over 60% of Tefillin purchased for the test were not kosher. Get y

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

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 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

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).

Rabbi Yaron Reuven answers a viewer's question about God's infinity. Rav Saadia Ga'on explains that HaShem is beyond time and space and has no physicality whatsoever. Knowledge for humans is an experience outside and separate from us, where God and His knowledge are one. God existed before time and space, He sees everything from the beginning until the end of time, as if it were a single moment. This is one of many reasons why any belief that God has a body is heretical and c

Rabbi Yaron Reuven has officially declared himself to be the biggest Zionist! Wait, what?? Rabbi Reuven says, if being a Zionist means a love for the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, there is no bigger Zionist in the world. The problem is Zionism means different things to different people. What is Zionism?

Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings a lesson from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov on the power of Tzedakah. There are many verses and teachings of the Sages about Tzedakah having the power to save from death, but one thing most people don't realize is it has to go to a kosher organization, to a real Tzadik that helps people do TeShuva. Rebbe Nachman says if you donate to support heresy it's not a mitzvah.

Rabbi Yaron Reuven reveals a secret to timeless wisdom from Pirkei Avot. Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa says, the only wisdom that stands the test of time is wisdom preceded by Yirat Shamayim (Fear of the Almighty). Rabbeinu Yona says, if your Torah is purely intellectual, it won't last, it must be learning in order to do. Any wisdom purely for the sake of intellectual stimulation or to be popular, fades away at best.

The Torah is much more than Laws, it's the Blueprint for Life that we can apply to every situation. The more we learn, the easier we can use the blueprint to build our physical and spiritual worlds.

Witness the shocking birth of the Zionist movement. Rabbi Yaron Reuven reveals what the founders of Zionism really thought about the Jewish people. From writers like Chaim HaZaz and Yosef Chaim Brennel, to Zionist movement leaders like Yitzhak Gruenbaum, their statements about Jews could easily be mistaken for passages from Hitler's Mein Kampf. Rav Elchonon Wasserman says, Zionism was made possible only due to the groundwork of Moses Mendelssohn, who started the enlightenment

Converting to Judaism is often portrayed as a simple journey of faith, but the reality is far more complex and legally rigorous. In this video, we explore the often-unspoken "hard truths" about the conversion process—specifically why it isn't something that can happen overnight.
