  1.  Bible Bus 2.0  Souls are reborn to complete tasks that were left undone. There is also the concept that Tzadikim may be reborn

  2. He was right on target. His explanations were good.

  3.  Bible Bus 2.0  We have other texts that we study other than the Torah. They further explain the Torah. In addition there is the Zohar which is Jewish mysticism.

  4.  Bible Bus 2.0  I am first of all a observant Jew. It is not my job to spread "gospel". It's to love and fear G-d, live according to Jewish values. This is my upbringing as Jew. I don't exist to please or disappoint you. That is arrogant and presumptuous.

  5.  Bible Bus 2.0  We don't accept Jesus as the Messiah as you know. I do agree that we have mission that is just ours and we must try to fulfill it.

  6.  @oskaralegre5094  The New Testament would not be relevant to a Orthodox Jew. There is lifetime or more in the study of Jewish texts.

  7. @Abdullah: Jews value life but accept death.

  8. This is a ill timed question considering the pandemic and the number of ill and dead in Israel and the world.

  9.  @oskaralegre5094  I know who Jesus was because I live in the world. Just like I know who Buddah was but I have no intention of studying Buddhist texts. It is required of all Jews to study the Torah and it's commentaries (Rashi, Onkelos etc). This takes all my time and spiritual energy.

  10.  @oskaralegre5094  Jewish tradition acknowledges that a Jewish man named Jesus lived. It doesn't acknowledge him as the Messiah. It is the obligation of all Jews to study the Torah and its commentaries. It is the obligation of all Jews to observe the Shabbat. Its the obligation of all Jews to celebrate the holidays. It is the obligation of all Jews to fulfill the mitzvot. These are just a few obligations. It isn't the obligation to read the New Testament. We are too busy with other more important obligations. Do you "feel me"?

  11. Your statement is based on a note supposedly written by Rabbi Kaduri stating that JC is the messiah. There is evidence that contradicts if the Rabbi even wrote it. The absolute majority of Rabbinical authorities do not accept JC as the Messiah and the world Jewish community also doesn't accept it. You will just have to be content with your own beliefs and not try to force said beliefs on others.

  12. Someone elses beliefs are nonsense? So I guess Muhammed rising to the heavens on a horse is nonsense too?

  13.  @KaramKettanie  Jews don't actively seek converts. Christianity and Islam do.

  14. Are you stupid?

  15.  @СлаваСоюзуСоветскихСоциалистич  Jewish law forbids those actions.

  17. I wait in perfect faith for the true Mashiach not JC.

  18.  @oskaralegre5094  I haven't and don't intend to read it. I am far too busy studying the Tanach, the Mishniot, Ethics of the Fathers, Torat Aretz Yisroel in addition to preparing for Peasach. My Jewish life takes up all my time and energy.

  19.  Bible Bus 2.0  Apostalizing is abhorrent. Maybe you should rethink your approach to your faith and that of others.

  20. Let's be clear. This is not a teaching session or a sermon. So- I am not a Hasidia. I am a Orthodox Jew. You should take the time to learn more about the different groups of Jews in the world. I have never heard that Jews will have " all the splendor" or that non Jews will have less " You will have to be clearer about your sources. A Righteous Gentile is a non Jew that has saved Jewish lives. The term is used most often to describe Gentiles who saved Jews during the Shoah. I am surprised that you have never heard the term.

  21. Judaism evolved 2000 years before Islam. Islam is just a cheap knockoff of Judaism. How does that feel?

  22.  @maghrebal3arabi7  Judaism doesn't exist? Your Prophet said the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. The Jewish People have practiced Judaism for 4 ooo years. Please remain as delusional as you like while we continue to settle the land of Israel and live according to our religious values described in the Torah the map of Jewish life ie: Judaism.

  23. Its apparent you are ignorant of the methods of studying the Torah etc.

  24.  @solvingpolitics3172  Its easy to fall into that mindset. I wear my mask and gloves because I want to protect both myself and my neighbors. Stay calm :-)

  25.  @chugalongway01  It would be against Jewish law to marry a close relative. So you are wrong on that account. A Jewish look? Ethiopian Jews Jews from India- Cochin and Bnei Menesha Yeminite Jews Iraqi Jews Chinese Jews There is no specific Jewish look but there exists our spiritual connection to each other and the land. That is what matters.

  26.  Starhopper  The Ultra Orthodox community is slow to change but it does in its own time. They serve in the IDF. They pursue higher education in hitec etc. Sexism? That is a term that most would not understand. There is a clear difference between men and women. You might be surprised to know that many Hareidi women run businesses and raise their children effectively. As a Israeli I accept them as they are and consider them a important part of the Jewish people just as I accept secular Jews as important to the Jewish people.

  27.  @yabobayo5787  I don't know if it applies to whole groups but it certainly applies to your dealings with individuals. Same here- Stay safe and well

  29.  Bible Bus 2.0  You are mistaken. We are all created in G-ds image. It has nothing to do with your mother. A good example is Righteous Gentiles. Good role models I think

  30. I see your point. The Torah is a guide to not only our spiritual life but to our everyday existence.

  31.  @itzhak6068  I agree. Our place in the world to come is measured by our behavior in the material world.

  32. They were asked about Jewish beliefs. How about some respect?

  33. Get lost? Really? You were disrespectful in your first post and in your second post. Somewhere in between your reply got lost. Was that your intention?

  34. Adults who are disrespectful of others beliefs are dangerous

  35.  @MyLifeInTheDesert  It is natural to consider our mortality. I disagree about the timing though. We must at all costs resist negatively and embrace life. We must give strength to others by positivity. "Heal the soul Heal the body"

  36.  @dooglitas  I doubt that people are ignoring it. I prefer to choose to focus on life.

  38.  @markmcelroy1872  Thanks for pointing it out. Another more uplifting video would have been a better choice though.

  39.  Starhopper  We are not all the same. Every person has their own direction and purpose. The Hareidim have a purpose in our society. They preserve our traditions and our laws through study. I know that the issue of feminism is important to you but that is imported philosophy. Jewish women are respected in Judaism. They have a spiritual status higher than men.

  40.  Eternal Fisherman  There are extremists in their communities like there are in other communities. Geula Cohen and Golda Meir were courageous Jewish women.

  41.  XYU  Extremists exist in all communities.

  42.  XYU  Set unarmed children on fire? Burnt them to death? We are talking about Ultra Orthodox from Bnei Brak and Mea Sherim. Who are you talking about?

  43. Backwards bs? Up until this phrase I agreed with you. Religion isn't backwards bs. I am sorry if you perceive it as such. There are so many strong women chracters in Jewish history. Sara Rivkeh Rachel Leah Yael Devorah Ruth Naomi Bruria Isabella DiRossi Hana Snesh Golda Meir Geula Cohen I am sure you can add many more. Ultra Orthodox women aren't enslaved. They have just chosen a different path. I prefer to look for what is the same not what is different between people. BTW: We are already a light unto the nations. I believe that people recognize Israel's special place in the world. That is why we get so much flak and why so many people have begun to identify with us.

  44. The perpetrator of this crime was apprehened very quickly and now sits in jail. This crime was condemned by every sector of Israeli society. The victim was declared a victim of terrorism and his parents receive Bituach Leumi. You cannot condemn a whole sector of Israeli society for the crime of one man.

  45.  Starhopper  If you look at my post above I don't excuse bad behavior. The modification of such behavior is jail as it should be. As for "religious infractions" despite what is in the Torah, things like strangulation or stoning are more descriptive of the severity of the sin. Judaism is fair and just. I feel that I understand your attitude about gender discrimination/sexism? but I don't think it necessarily describes the life choices of Hareidi women. Maybe some feel pushed into a role but most are happy in their lives.

  46. I included Golda Meir and Geula Cohen to my list because they were courageous Jewish women. See my conversation with Starhopper.

  51. You are a Muslim because Elohim created you so.

  52.  @solvingpolitics3172  The Hareidim have gotten a late start. They don't listen to radio or TV or read newspapers or have computers. They get all their info from neighborhood papers. So they were late in getting the message. Now it is under control. Lets pray for the safety and good health of everyone.

  53. Who are you referring to ? You have not answered the question (s).

  54.  @maghrebal3arabi7  The Torah is the word of G-d. The Jews chose to follow the Torah. Those who follow it....do the will of G-d. There is no higher value than the Torah.
