Conversion To Orthodox Judaism Questions & Answers Series (1)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven is explaining the importance of Oral Torah in Judaism. He highlights that the Oral Torah provides details on how to observe the 613 mitzvot, which are rooted in the Ten Commandments. He emphasizes that without Oral Torah, the written Torah is meaningless. Rabbi Reuven then discusses the prophecy in the Oral Torah about a time when many non-Jews will convert to Judaism. He explains that this will happen before the Messianic era, and that once the Messiah arrives, there will be no more conversions. This is because, once Israel is ascendant again, converting will be seen as joining the winning team, not a genuine act of faith. Rabbi Reuven stresses that even though non-Jews have fewer mitzvot to observe, the punishment for violating Noahide laws is more severe. However, Jews have a higher potential reward. He also emphasizes the concept of free will and explains that while HaShem determines the outcome of events, our actions are up to us.

Parashat Yitro: Jewish Conversion and Ten Commandments

Parashat Yitro: Jewish Conversion and Ten Commandments

Rabbi Yaron Reuven explains the significance of Parashat Yitro. He highlights that this Parsha marks the moment when the Jewish people receive the Torah at Mount Sinai. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing HaShem as the creator of everything and the necessity of honoring one's parents, which is a commandment directly from HaShem. The Parsha also emphasizes the importance of Shabbat. Rabbi Reuven explains that keeping Shabbat is a covenant between HaShem and the Jewish people, and that failing to do so results in spiritual death and exclusion from the nation of Israel. He emphasizes the importance of following HaShem's commandments as the ultimate source of happiness and connection with the Divine. Rabbi Reuven also delves into the concept of converting to Judaism, explaining that it requires more than just accepting HaShem's existence. It involves recognizing the truth of Judaism and rejecting all prior beliefs. This process, he says, is a difficult yet rewarding endeavor that demonstrates a person's complete submission to HaShem.

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 100 videos about this topic 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. Today, our 900+ members are congregational leaders, religious teachers, chaplains, heads of Jewish organizations and communal leaders united in their commitment to traditional Orthodox Judaism.
