1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,600
Islam and Christianity
2
00:00:01,733 --> 00:00:02,899
according to the sages
3
00:00:03,266 --> 00:00:04,299
are seen as
4
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,400
sort of breakaway faiths that each contain within them
5
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:12,266
half the truth of the Torah
6
00:00:12,833 --> 00:00:15,599
meaning Islam has a very clear view of God
7
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:17,433
but rejects the divinity of the Torah
8
00:00:17,433 --> 00:00:19,499
whereas Christianity has a very clear
9
00:00:19,833 --> 00:00:21,733
acceptance of the divinity of the Torah
10
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:26,199
but has a different view of God and the Godhead
11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
the Trinity is antithetical to Jewish thought
12
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,433
where does it all fit in God's plan
13
00:00:38,033 --> 00:00:38,833
why
14
00:00:39,733 --> 00:00:41,799
if we look at the sheer numbers of the world
15
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,233
Christianity is in the billions
16
00:00:46,533 --> 00:00:48,066
Islam is in the billions
17
00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:56,066
why did God sort of have these faiths spring up
18
00:00:56,733 --> 00:00:59,333
how does it fit in the overall divine picture
19
00:00:59,666 --> 00:01:03,366
of where we're heading and what's doing
20
00:01:03,866 --> 00:01:05,366
so the Rambam Maimonides
21
00:01:05,366 --> 00:01:08,033
actually says something very fascinating
22
00:01:08,033 --> 00:01:11,466
he says that god allowed Christianity and Islam
23
00:01:11,466 --> 00:01:12,866
to take hold in the world
24
00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:15,733
to spread the basic concepts of Torah
25
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:17,233
to the nations of the world
26
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:19,333
meaning before Christianity
27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,900
it was all paganism
28
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,466
it was either Jews or monotheistic
29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,600
or the vast majority who were complete pagans
30
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,100
not only worshipping idols
31
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,466
but again engaged in the most depraved practices
32
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:32,833
that the planet has ever seen
33
00:01:32,833 --> 00:01:34,699
as part of their mainstream belief
34
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,800
when Christianity and Islam came to the scene
35
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:41,399
both eliminated the depraved
36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,766
pagan behaviors that were going on before
37
00:01:43,766 --> 00:01:45,933
and introduced the world to
38
00:01:46,166 --> 00:01:49,199
a version of God and Torah values
39
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:51,733
so all of this
40
00:01:51,733 --> 00:01:53,166
explains the Rambam
41
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,566
is ultimately to prepare the world for the Messiah
42
00:01:58,566 --> 00:01:59,699
and the messianic era
43
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:00,200
when it comes
44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,900
meaning that whatever bits of truth
45
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:04,300
whatever bits of Torah
46
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:06,899
have been spread worldwide
47
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:09,833
through these major faith systems
48
00:02:10,466 --> 00:02:13,233
it paves the way that when Mashiach will come
49
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:14,899
Messianic era will come
50
00:02:15,433 --> 00:02:16,733
that the rest of the world
51
00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:18,833
will have already been familiarized
52
00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:20,566
with certain basic tenants
53
00:02:20,566 --> 00:02:21,999
certain basic concepts
54
00:02:23,166 --> 00:02:24,833
Rabayakov Emden also says
55
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:26,466
in his commentary to perkiavus
56
00:02:26,466 --> 00:02:28,299
says that the Christians and the Muslims
57
00:02:28,566 --> 00:02:31,566
are key instruments in fulfilling the prophecy
58
00:02:31,566 --> 00:02:33,799
that when the Messiah will come
59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,866
that the knowledge of God
60
00:02:34,866 --> 00:02:36,399
will be spread through the earth
61
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,300
as the water covers the seabed
62
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:40,533
we believe that not only
63
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,100
Jews have a place and a purpose in this world
64
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,666
but everybody in the
65
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,500
entire human family has a place in this world
66
00:02:48,866 --> 00:02:52,066
has a key role to play in perfecting the world
67
00:02:52,633 --> 00:02:54,366
Jews have to do it through Torah
68
00:02:54,533 --> 00:02:56,433
through our 613 mitzvahs
69
00:02:56,433 --> 00:02:57,433
our commandments
70
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:01,566
and non Jews have seven specific commandments
71
00:03:01,566 --> 00:03:05,133
that were given to Noah after the flood
72
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,533
and all of humanity is a descendant of Noah
73
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,966
that were given to Noah after the flood
74
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,300
and if they uphold those seven laws
75
00:03:13,433 --> 00:03:16,499
God says thumbs up great job
76
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:17,633
you've done your purpose
77
00:03:17,633 --> 00:03:19,399
and you will have a share in the world to come
78
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:22,233
so there's no need for Jews to go out and proselytize
79
00:03:22,433 --> 00:03:23,333
and say be like us
80
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,066
you have to be like us
81
00:03:24,066 --> 00:03:25,366
we are the only way
82
00:03:26,433 --> 00:03:27,833
instead we can say
83
00:03:27,866 --> 00:03:29,299
if you follow your 7 laws
84
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,466
if you follow those 7 key codes
85
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:35,799
in living in upstanding moral life
86
00:03:36,033 --> 00:03:39,099
God is perfectly happy with you and we love you
87
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:41,699
what are those seven laws
88
00:03:42,233 --> 00:03:45,866
No. 1 is to believe in God not to worship idols
89
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,666
No.2 is not to curse God
90
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,700
No. 3 is to not murder
91
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,100
4 is not to steal
92
00:03:56,133 --> 00:04:00,799
5 is not to commit certain illicit relationships
93
00:04:01,766 --> 00:04:04,666
6 is not to be cruel to animals
94
00:04:04,666 --> 00:04:06,933
and eat the limb of a living animal
95
00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:09,666
and 7 is to uphold
96
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,600
make courts of justice that will uphold the other six
97
00:04:12,666 --> 00:04:14,633
so meaning when an issue comes up
98
00:04:14,633 --> 00:04:17,466
to vote for those things and support
99
00:04:17,466 --> 00:04:20,566
make court systems that enforce the other six laws
100
00:04:20,566 --> 00:04:22,999
and any of the non Jewish nations
101
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,633
that accept those laws
102
00:04:24,966 --> 00:04:27,099
or any person who's not of the Jewish faith
103
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,566
who accepts those laws and does them
104
00:04:28,566 --> 00:04:31,166
because this is what God wants from me in the world
105
00:04:31,366 --> 00:04:33,066
has a place in the world to come
106
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,900
is considered as fulfilling their purpose
107
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:37,200
and doing what they need to do
108
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:38,866
and we love them
109
00:04:38,866 --> 00:04:39,466
god loves them
110
00:04:39,466 --> 00:04:41,399
no need to proselytize anybody
111
00:04:41,866 --> 00:04:44,933
one of the key Hasidic Rabbie
112
00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:46,566
in his safer Hamidu
113
00:04:46,566 --> 00:04:50,099
says that when the Jewish people don't make Godliness
114
00:04:50,766 --> 00:04:51,933
known to the nations of the world
115
00:04:51,933 --> 00:04:53,566
when we're not spreading our light
116
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:55,666
this creates a vacuum
117
00:04:56,733 --> 00:04:59,199
you know the world is supposed to be filled with light
118
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,766
and we are supposed to be the disseminators
119
00:05:00,766 --> 00:05:03,033
of light and when we don't fill the world with light
120
00:05:03,066 --> 00:05:04,633
there's a vacuum created
121
00:05:04,633 --> 00:05:07,899
and room for other ideologies and philosophies
122
00:05:08,033 --> 00:05:09,399
to make their way
123
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,933
sweeping across the globe
124
00:05:12,033 --> 00:05:12,733
as a result
125
00:05:12,733 --> 00:05:13,533
the nations
126
00:05:16,333 --> 00:05:18,933
introduce many ideologies that are contrary to Torah
127
00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:20,533
and contrary to light
128
00:05:20,533 --> 00:05:22,133
oftentimes so
129
00:05:22,133 --> 00:05:23,966
by us shining lights
130
00:05:23,966 --> 00:05:27,833
by us being living examples of what Torah represents
131
00:05:27,833 --> 00:05:29,399
and what Judaism represents
132
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:31,599
the rest of the world will follow soon
133
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,833
and be influenced by that as well
134
00:05:37,266 --> 00:05:39,633
people often ask what can I do at home
135
00:05:43,466 --> 00:05:47,733
political connections and fighting politically is good
136
00:05:48,466 --> 00:05:50,499
and the work is special work that you do
137
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,800
and it's certainly necessary
138
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,533
and we all certainly thank you
139
00:05:54,533 --> 00:05:56,266
certainly everyone in Israel
140
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:57,766
and all the Jewish people around the world
141
00:05:57,766 --> 00:05:59,499
thank you for all the work that you guys do
142
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:04,166
and when we stand strong as Jews representing Torah
143
00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:06,699
the nations are affected positively
144
00:06:08,933 --> 00:06:11,766
we begin by praying for Israel alone
145
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:12,966
but towards the end of the day
146
00:06:12,966 --> 00:06:15,099
we include the rest of humanity as well
147
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,733
this is the proper Jewish approach
148
00:06:17,733 --> 00:06:19,766
towards the non Jewish nations
149
00:06:19,766 --> 00:06:21,599
we must maintain our uniqueness
150
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,966
yet at the same time not forget the non Jew
151
00:06:25,533 --> 00:06:26,366
on Yom Kippur
152
00:06:26,366 --> 00:06:28,766
we pray not only for our own atonement
153
00:06:29,133 --> 00:06:31,366
but for the atonement of mankind as well
154
00:06:32,366 --> 00:06:34,166
so may we all merit that
155
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:35,599
even before Russia Shona
156
00:06:36,166 --> 00:06:37,666
we received the Tishuva
157
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:39,166
the repentance the return
158
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,966
the immense of the entire world
159
00:06:42,433 --> 00:06:45,499
and the beginning of the messianic era where Jews
160
00:06:45,766 --> 00:06:47,566
Muslims Christians
161
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:51,533
and everyone else will strive to serve God in one voice
162
00:06:51,666 --> 00:06:54,266
and everlasting peace thank you
