So, this Noachide Congress
was not held anywhere. It wasn't held in
Farrakhan or St. Louis,
but rather it was held in Jerusalem. It
not only takes place in Jerusalem, but
this is going to blow the viewers away.
It takes place at the Seven Arches
Hotel. What does that mean? What is
that?
>> [snorts]
>> Well, the Seven Arches Hotel, they began
construction 1962
[music] and completed 1964.
It was done by essentially for the
Jordanian King Hussein for [music] the
Jordanian Kingdom that had then occupied
Jerusalem, and no Jews were allowed
there. That means for those 19 years,
from 1948 to 1967,
Jerusalem, this part of Jerusalem, was
Jew free, Judenrein, no Jews allowed.
All synagogues in the old city in this
part were all destroyed. Moreover,
that hotel specifically inaugurated the
PLO, the Palestine Liberation
Organization. It was in that hotel on
May 28th, 1964,
that the PLO was formed, forged, and
created a covenant.
>> [music]
>> Hi, this is Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz. I'm
here with a very special guest, uh Rabbi
Tovia Singer. Um if I started describing
him, it would take way too long. But Rav
Tovia was part of what I believe is a
milestone in the in the spiritual world
and the world of serving Hashem. Um and
it was the first Noachide Congress. That
is Is it It's ongoing right now?
>> Yes.
>> Um it's being held in Jerusalem. And
uh
he was asked to speak there
because because he's Rabbi Tovia Singer,
and he's brilliant. Um so, Rav Singer,
it's great to see you. Tell me, what was
the Noahide Congress about?
>> For most people, um,
people consider
the Jewish people when they think about
the Messianic Age, but as it turns out,
uh,
whereas the going out of Egypt was about
the deliverance of a single nation, the
children of Israel,
the Messianic Age is about the nations
of the world coming to the God of
Israel. 10 gentiles of different
languages will grab the shirt of a Jew
and say, "Nelcha'imachem,
let us go with you, kishom'anu Elohim
imachem,
because we have heard that God is with
you." So, there's a revolution going on
worldwide because there are seven
Noahide laws, and I know many of our
viewers are going, "What's a Noahide?
What are Noahide laws? What are
Noahides?" And I think we ought to,
like, break that down a little bit. So,
whereas the Torah was given to the
children of Israel
in the year 2,448
after creation, prior to that, there
were laws given that are basically in
seven major categories of laws that are
in the book of Genesis explicitly.
Rabbis didn't invent this. It's in
Genesis that the prohibition against
murder, Cain was the first person that
committed that act of murder, and he was
summarily punished. Um, Genesis 6, there
was the flood. Uh, men raped women,
forced women who were weak to have their
children, and robbery, violence. We have
the prohibition of causing suffering to
an animal, and thievery. So, all these
things are the Noahide laws, and these
are major categories of law. These are
universal laws that predate
the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.
After all,
our viewers, all of them, are very
familiar with Genesis 18. They may not
know the number, but they know exactly
what happened. God was set to destroy
Sodom,
and Abraham asked God, maybe there are
50 righteous people. What standard was
Abraham marshalling? It's these seven
Noahide laws.
And therefore, the people of the world
today are saying, we want to observe
them
not because we think it's a good idea to
be honest in business, not because it
makes sense to me to not be cruel to an
animal or not to commit murder. No.
I want to observe these universal
commandments that are found in the book
of Genesis because the God of Israel
commanded me. And therefore, there are I
don't know how many, guesses could be in
the millions, of people around the world
who are observing these commandments.
And I think you, the viewers, got this
right.
The Noahide movement, which simply means
those who follow after Noah, Noah. We're
told in Genesis 6 that Noah was
righteous in his generation. So, there's
people who are saying, I'm a disciple of
Noah.
That these are the people that are
rising up today and saying, we want to
make this declaration to the God of
Israel. And that's what's happening now.
>> Also, you you touched on something.
Um
The Noahide laws are are
logical. They're something that you can
understand as a person why you would
follow these laws as opposed to a lot of
the laws that Jews follow from the Torah
are you wouldn't necessarily think of
yourself. You know, the tzitzit, the
fringes, the filling.
Um even keeping kosher. These are kind
of, you know,
difficult to understand. It's what we
call in in in Torah chukim. They're
they're they're laws that we do them
because Hashem told us, but they're not
necessarily logical. But it seems like
the Noahide laws are a blueprint for
being a mensch, for being a from from
being a human in human society. So, it's
different on that level. Would you
agree?
>> Yes, but that's what makes being a
Noahide, in a very strange sense a step
up
meaning
mo- many people wonder aloud
do I need these Noachide laws? I know
that you're not supposed to steal,
you're not supposed to murder. It sounds
like some people say like this is
Judaism light. Like Judaism is 2.0,
Noachide is 1.0, sort of the lighter
version of it. But you just touched on
something that blows the whole thing
open so everyone could understand.
When we observe the Sabbath, we're not
sure why these laws are connected to
Shabbat.
When we eat kosher, although people have
tried to figure out why these animals
are forbidden to eat and why others are
clean, we don't really know the reason
why. And therefore when we put on
tfillin phylacteries the only possible
reason why you were and I could wear
tzitzis
is only because the God of Israel
commanded us. In a sense
this is kind of a a gun at our head.
There's no other way for us to explain
this sort of ritual behavior
except that God commanded us.
We're not stuck. We love keeping
command. We love the Torah. But just
understand that we can only explain why
we keep Shabbos because God commanded
us. Now, the Noachide can take it next
level because the Noachide can say he
has an exit door which we don't possess.
The Noachide can say, "You know what?
I'm going to be honest in business. I'm
not going to steal. I'm going to be
loyal to my wife
because it makes sense to me. God has
nothing to do with it."
But the pious among the nations, the
Chassidei Umos HaOlam have an
unbelievable opportunity which Jews we
don't have. They can say that the reason
I'm doing this only because God
commanded me rather than say because
it's logical. And therefore the Noahide
is one level above because a Noahide
always has an exit door, which the Jew
doesn't possess. This is what everyone
gets backward. And therefore, when the
person says, "The reason I'm honest in
business, the reason I'm not cruel to an
animal is not because I like the idea,
because God, the God of Israel,
commanded me." So, he is the next level
up, and it's because of the pious among
the nations who come to the Jews at the
end of the days.
That's why Messiah comes. And we, as
Jews,
are merely facilitators, which is again
reversed. People think it's all about
us, but it isn't. We really are a light
to the nations. We are here to bring
about the salvation and deliverance of
the non-Jews. It's everything on its
head.
>> Amazing. Um also, I may I may be going
off here, but when you talk about
Noahide, Noah was in covenant with God.
There was There was just as there we are
as Jews are in covenant with God, and
there are signs that that we exhibit and
that that we see that we are in covenant
with God. Um there are specific mitzvahs
that are described as signs. Are the
Noahides in covenant with God?
>> Yes, of course. The God makes his
covenant right when uh right after the
on the 17th day of the 7th month,
when the ark finally rested after being
out for 150 days, the rainbow is there
for the world to see that never again
will God bring a flood to the world. But
we, the children of Israel, are
connected to that beautifully in Isaiah
54,
when God swears to the children of
Israel that at the end of days, the
the tribulation you've endured will be
only like a blink of an eye. It will
seem like a very short time. And no
tongue that rises against you will
succeed. No weapon fashioned against you
will be able to harm you and this is
like the waters of Noah to me. Isaiah 54
is very very delightful. So therefore
we're all in a unique covenant. May I
with your permission Adam just add one
one more point.
>> I'm loving this. Sure.
>> So we well we're going next level here.
So just to see the connection between
the the flood, the ark, the teva. So the
word for that ship is called a teva.
That word teva
is only used in two places in all of
Tanakh. For those of our viewers who are
not familiar with the Hebrew Bible, it's
massive. The Hebrew Bible has nearly
24,000
verses,
305,550
words.
However, this word teva only appears in
two places in all of Tanakh. One place
is with Noah where God delivers
humanity, saves the world because eight
people are on that teva, on that ship
and that context is used 26 times, but
it's all there.
The only other place in all of Tanakh
with that word appears is when Moses was
an infant in Exodus chapter 2 and he is
put in a basket which is a teva. Which
means the teva This is we're going like
nuclear right now. So the teva is very
unique. It's not just a ship. It's what
delivers humanity
forging the Noahide covenant and once
again that word teva comes up again
where God is delivering the savior of
the Jewish people, the deliverer of the
Jewish people, the greatest prophet who
would ever live constructed by his older
sister, that too is a teva. The only two
places in Tanakh. God is delivering both
the world through that covenant and he's
delivering the children of Israel and
the world through the Torah, through
Moses of blessed memory who was
delivered as an infant in that table in
that ark.
>> Wow. So, um the word tebah implies
Hashem
protecting us.
>> Right.
>> You know, like he protects actually all
of humanity through Noah, and he
protects was it not were it not for for
Moshe being in the tebah, the Jewish
people never would have come out of
slavery. So,
So, he he he saved the Jewish people
through the tebah
Moshe.
Um and I'm I'm seeing this this Noahide
covenant.
Um when you look at the Noahide laws,
they're really
intended to preserve humanity, perhaps
even from itself and its its worst
its worst desires. Um you look at the
Noahide laws, they're a recipe for
civilization and being civilized.
Um
and I I am I am I off on this?
>> Just nailed it. We're binary. Look at
Genesis 2:7. God collects the dust of
the earth. We know now we're made of
stardust. And then he breathes into the
nostrils of spirit of God.
So, we're binary. And the question is
what is going to compel us to observe
these commandments? Is going to be the
dust of the earth? Then we're like any
animal that has rules of the jungle. Or
are we going next level? That's what the
Noahide is. The Noahide is saying I'm
not doing it because of the clay of the
earth, because I need things, or because
I need to feel like I'm a good person.
No, no, no, no. I'm doing it because of
the nishmas chayim, the spirit of life
that God blew not only to my nostrils,
but every person, Jew and non-Jew, is
created in the image of God. That's why
the Noahide movement, the oldest
religion of the world, is so
transcendent.
>> I mean
that oldest religion in the world.
That's that's a mind-blower. Um
also
it's it's
you know,
the the the term covenant, we use it a
lot. It's really difficult to
to
pin down precisely. I think because it's
so all-encompassing, but one of the
outcomes of the covenant that the Jews
have experienced and the Jews are
proof of is that when you were in
covenant with Hashem,
you don't
you don't disappear.
Uh it's you're in a relationship with
Hashem, so you stay around.
And you said that this is this is a
covenant between mankind.
This is this is a Geulah for mankind.
Just as the Geulah from from Egypt was
Israel going out, this is the
preparation for a Geulah of the entire
world. Did Did I Did I understand you
correctly?
>> Yeah. Arise and shine, for your light
has come. Kings will go by your light.
Isaiah 60:1-3.
As far as Tanakh is concerned, the
Messianic age is about the deliverance
of the world. Job
is the oldest book in the Bible, and he
was a Noachide. He didn't keep Shabbos.
No way he could. He didn't keep Sukkos.
He wouldn't have because it's earlier
than that. It That's how old it is. So,
he was a Noachide. Now, the word Don't I
just want to say this to the viewers.
Don't get caught up in the word
Noachide. It's an anachronism. It just
means people who are followers of Noah.
That's all it means. You call it
whatever you want, but it is the oldest
faith in the world world, and the word
covenant means a promise. That's all.
And one point, if I may spice this up a
drop,
with your permission. So, Henry, you're
going Do we need more of this?
So, right. So, what's happening here is
is just very, very unique. Until the
giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, all
the Noachide laws
were known al pi kabbalah, I'll
translate, which means it was passed
down orally. After all, there was no
Torah given before Mount Sinai.
And I want to demonstrate this to our
viewers who might be sardonic.
When God tells Noah to of the un of the
animals take two, male female, to
preserve the species,
but of the clean animals take seven
because he's going to bring offerings
after at the end. You can't wipe out a
species. But there's no information
there for Noah to know how you detect a
clean animal from an unclean animal.
Leviticus 11 hasn't yet been written, or
certainly not on parchment. The key is
that all this was known orally. There's
nowhere where God says don't murder, but
Cain was held accountable, as was the
generation of the flood.
There is a a very striking thing, and
that is
when the Torah is given at Mount Sinai,
of course that was to the children of
Israel, Exodus 20,
but that's the first time the Noahide
laws are then recorded
in writing.
And therefore,
while Shavuot is a festival which is
only given for the Jewish people, for as
the laws go, see Leviticus 23,
however,
there are hundreds of thousands, maybe
millions of Noahides who are very aware
of Shavuot, who are very aware of this
day and say, "Look, we this holiday,
meaning the laws of this holiday, are
are for the Jewish people, not for the
not for those who are the Noahides, but
we do honor this day because we know
this I don't want to
get emotional.
But there are many many holy holy people
who are Noahides who say, "This is the
day that the Noahide laws, while has
been part of a kabbalah, received wisdom
and knowledge from God orally, it's now
finally committed to writing in in the
five books of Moses, which is given to
Moses. He records it at the end of the
wilderness in Deuteronomy 31:9. So,
therefore, Noachides are very aware of
sensitive to it because they get that
while the Noachide laws have been around
since the beginning, it is recorded in
the Torah that Moses eventually record
at the end of the wilderness. So, this
is very powerful stuff right here.
>> Civilization is falling apart at the
seams. And now there's a movement to
bring it back together. And to And to
fix it by bringing Hashem's
basic template for how we can be humans
in covenant with God.
And that's how I see the Noachide
Congress coming specifically at this
time. It's It's It's first aid in the in
the battlefield when when when things
are going nuts. So,
am I am I
reading too much into this? It's We're
looking at crazy times when we need the
Noachide laws.
>> With your permission, let me take what
you just said to the next level. So,
this Noachide Congress
was not held anywhere. It wasn't held in
Farrakhan or in St. Louis,
but rather it was held in Jerusalem. Ki
mitzion tetzei Torah mi Yerushalayim,
for out of Zion will go forth the law
and the word of God from Jerusalem,
Isaiah chapter 2.
It not only takes place in Jerusalem,
but this is going to blow the viewers
away. It takes place at the Seven Arches
Hotel. What does that mean? What is
that?
Well, the Seven Arches Hotel, they began
construction in 1962
and completed in 1964.
It was done by essentially for the
Jordanian King Hussein, for the
Jordanian kingdom that had then occupied
Jerusalem. And no Jews were allowed
there. That means for those 19 years,
from 1948 to 1967,
Jerusalem, this part of Jerusalem, was
Jew-free. Judenrein. No allowed. All
synagogues in the old city in this part
were all destroyed. Moreover,
that hotel specifically inaugurated the
PLO, the Palestine Liberation
Organization. It was in that hotel on
May 28th, 1964,
that the PLO was formed, forged, and
created a covenant and a terror
organization that was devoted to
liberating Palestine. Now, I want to
remind the viewers who don't realize
this,
when you had a PLO, a Palestine
Liberation Organization, in 1964,
what exactly did they want to liberate?
After all, the [snorts]
what are the obstacles to peace? What we
are told, the West Bank was in the hands
of the Arab world, and they never tend
to make a Palestinian state there. But,
the key is that they want to destroy all
of Israel, which means literally
that hotel, which was hosted the first
PLO congress to destroy the Jewish
people, just like Haman made gallows to
destroy the Jewish people. That was
exact same gallows we use to destroy
Haman and his sons and his
collaborators.
And that's what happened. So, this is
not anywhere. This is not just in
Jerusalem, it's at the same hotel in
which the PLO was inaugurated on May
28th, 1964.
The people who built that place never
dreamed that Jews and non-Jews would be
there. They had no idea that the
Messianic Age would begin there. In
fact, the whole purpose of the PLO was
to destroy the Messianic Age, to destroy
Jewish presence in Jerusalem. And look
what happened. The God reversed it, just
like on Purim, v'nahafoch hu, it spun
around. So, my friends, ladies and
gentlemen, who are watching this show,
and we're covering material that I have
never talked about publicly before, and
I'm doing it now.
This is Purim. And now it's up to you,
my dear friends around the world, Jew,
Noahide, whatever you are. Now you have
to ask the question, will you succeed
where others have failed in that
in the time of Purim, the Jews could
have
tossed up their good fortune to just
that, good luck, serendipity.
Uh Esther was, I'm sure, beautiful.
Ahasuerus killed his wife. He wasn't the
first king to kill his wife,
nonetheless. Mordecai overheard
assassination plot,
got lucky. In fact, the word Purim means
a lottery. That's what the word means.
And God's name is not in the book. And
now, 2 and 1/2 thousand years ago, the
Jews were successful. They were able to
identify all this good fortune to really
the hand of God was all around them. And
now I'm turning to you, and I'm asking
you the following question.
What you're watching right now, in real
time, a war between Israel and Persia,
the restoration of the Jews to the land,
Noahide saying, "I choose the God of
Israel above every other." Are you
willing to now say that all these events
are not serendipity, but rather are the
hand of God? If you are, then bend your
knee only to the God of Israel, and only
swear in his name, fulfilling Isaiah 45.
>> Yeah, and uh you touched on something
with the uh with the the the hotel where
the Noahide Congress
and the inauguration of the PLO the the
same year.
And the Noahide Congress, and the
Noahide movement, and this recognition
of God and his covenant with humankind
to preserve humanity through these basic
laws that he he gave to all of humanity
through his love for humanity and his
love for life. These people are coming
up against it, and it's coming down to
the wire. It's them against
you, me, all of us, all the Noahides,
all the people who say, "Yes, we want
life. We want to recognize Hashem. We
want to recognize his laws and and that
he gave to us in love. And it's really
it's it's it's
coming down to the final war. Um and
that's where I see the goolah going. Um
it's it's it's such a scoot to be part
of this. It really is.
>> You know, we're asked the question, why
is Tucker Carlson doing this? Now, I I I
don't want to talk about grifters and
I'm not a political person. I I'm a
Bible person, Tanakh person. So, I want
to just keep it there.
It means [snorts] what the real enemy. I
don't mean the grifters who are doing it
for clicks, but the people who are
rising up now to destroy the Jewish
people. As you pointed out, it doesn't
even make sense. That means Europe is
self-destructing. Why are they willing
to die?
Why
Why are they willing to do this? And the
reason is they could sniff this out,
meaning
they understand exactly what's at stake.
Those who are the enemies of God
they understand that we're very close
now.
We have an appointment with destiny.
They could smell what's happening. Why
would they go crazy about a Noahide
Congress? Why? What do you That's
nothing. You could put together some
sort of Protestant conference in
Houston, they'll have 100,000 people
filling a stadium, no one would sneeze.
Why is it that a people from around the
world Well, how coming to Jerusalem to a
relatively not such a big hotel. Why is
everybody going wait? We have to stop
this, not the Russia-Ukrainian war. I'll
actually sit down with Putin and say
whatever you want to say. I don't care
about North Korea. That's what it would
No, no, no, no, no.
This Noahide Congress we're going to
stop by coming up with the most
convoluted so that we're going to trap
Christians as well. But why are they
doing this?
They understand that the the beginning
is coming and the end of them is coming.
It's Edom, which is destroyed the
Messiah. Now, that that's sort of person
and
not Christians or anybody. That means
the the institution that opposes of of
Israel is being destroyed and therefore
their they're basically in a death row
right now saying, "We need to stop this
Noahide Congress." Why? But I'll tell
you how crazy this all is. The Noahide
laws are in the Christian Bible as well.
I mean these Noahide laws are are of
course universal.
So they're in the book of Acts 15. I
don't not don't want to start teaching
New Testament here, but those Christians
watching us know very well that when
non-Jews wanted to become Christians in
the very early stages of the Christian
religion. Now, don't yell at me. The
word Christian correctly is not used
there, not by Christians, but we're just
using that term. So they wanted to know
that they had to get circumcised, that
they had to keep ritual commandments. So
in it is resolved in the book of Acts,
the Noahide laws, that they only have to
observe these laws, which are the
Noahide laws. Rabbis didn't invent
anything. They make it like the Jews
invented this. We didn't invent this.
All we did did was codify it.
When you have a shopping list, doesn't
mean if I produce a shopping list, it
doesn't mean I invented eggs and
bananas. I simply put it on the list.
The list was always there.
And it's in for those of you who like
hot stuff, spicy stuff,
in Revelation, that's a Christian book
for those who don't know it,
chapter 21 verse 8, it we are told that
those who don't keep these Noahide laws,
means murder, adultery, lying, all these
things, they're going to die twice over,
a double death, for violating the
Noahide laws in the Christian Bible. And
I'm not a Christian and I'm not here to
marshal Christian Christian teachings or
I don't need that. However, just know
this, the people who are opposing the
Noahide movement, they're bad faith
actors or ignoramuses and that's a
really bad combination. That means that
Tucker is an Episcopalian, we are told,
that he should know these kinds of
passages. Why does he ignore them?
Either he's a bad faith actor or an
ignoramus or both. Whichever way it is,
the reason why there's opposition to
this is they sniff it out, it's
messianic, it's a promise that God made,
and it's a redemption of the world, and
they want to do everything possible to
prevent it. But, you cannot stop the God
of Israel cuz he's our eternal rock. He
is our only savior.
>> And you you're you're you're so right
because I it's like Ben Shapiro, I'm a
big fan of Ben Shapiro, and he says a
lot of controversial things, and woo woo
people but the minute that he mentioned
Noahide, wow.
The the people went crazy. He's like,
Look, I'm not even Somebody asked him,
"Why aren't you Christian?" He said,
"Ah, cuz I believe in being Jewish, and
and I think, you know, if you you you
you if you're Christian, you should
follow the Noahide laws." He said he
said even something like, "I I need to
follow the mitzvahs to get into heaven.
You need to follow the Noahide laws."
People went nuts. People Being an
Orthodox Jew, not a problem. Rejecting
Christianity, not a problem. Being a
conservative, a bit of a problem.
Telling people that
that Noahide is a good thing,
people went out of their minds. It was
crazy.
So, I have a question for you.
Let's say I'm living my life as God
forbid, I'm not going I can't even say
it. Let's say there's a person who's
having living their life very nicely,
and um
and they decide they want to be part of
the Noahide covenant.
What do they do? How do they make that
change?
>> You You talk You speak with the God of
Israel. Just say to the God of Israel,
"You're my Lord. You're my only savior.
My knee bends to you alone.
You are the only source of my spiritual
affection, worship. For recognize whom
you're speaking to, and you are the God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
And then say, "I accept upon myself
these Noahide laws, not because they're
rational, not because they make sense,
which they do. I'm not taking that exit
door. Rather, I'm going forward. It's
because of my love for you
because you're my only Lord. You're my
only redemption. Therefore, I keep these
commandments to the God of Israel
commanded me. I'll tell you there's an
interesting thing that happened to me.
I went to a small like supermarket. It's
like a tiny little place near where I
live in Jerusalem. I just need like four
things.
Like I don't know a cottage cheese. Like
you've done this. You run to a
supermarket. You need a water, a banana.
So I So you can't I'm can't I grab a
banana. I think that would be good. And
then I'm going for a cottage cheese and
a bottle of water.
And I I can't carry just like fumbling
my hands. So I put the banana in my

Little supermarket. And I walk out and
maybe I'm 50 ft away.
And I realize that the banana is in my
pocket.
I realize the banana I never took out of
my pocket for her to weigh it and for me
to pay for it. So I was just mortified.
I stole a banana.
I I stole a banana. And I Now
what I normally do is you run back and I
I you know
I I stopped myself.
And I said, I'm returning this banana
and I'm going to pay for it because the
God of Israel commanded me not to steal.
So this is very important. You can't do
this always, but I want to say to you
the viewer, if once in your life when it
comes time to pay someone who works for
you
before you do, I know you want to want
to pay her on time.
I'm paying her on time because the God
of Israel commanded me.
That's giving Hashem a kiss.
That's what I did. In the street on
Jaffa Road
I said I'm returning this banana not
because it makes sense, not because I
feel like a creep that I walked out
without thinking about it, which I did
walk out with it. Because I showed
command me and then I walked back with a
banana and I paid whatever it was for
the banana. That's giving That's how Now
this is of course will be a Noahide
being included on this. One point I
should mention incidentally that that's
how one becomes a Noahide in covenant.
There is different laws if someone wants
to be a ger toshav. I don't want to get
into it then it will be done in front of
a best and one will accept the seven
Noahide laws. One caveat if we didn't
mention this I think I would be remiss.
These are not seven individual laws like
a religious Jew has 613 laws. It's seven
categories of laws
in that there are approximately 100
commandments
on a Noahide that are divided into seven
categories. As a just an example,
um so sexual immorality. They're
actually for Noahide there are 11
relationships that are forbidden to a
Noahide. 11 different relationships.
It's not important to go through it now,
but just know this is not cuz people so
they go, "Oh wow, Jews have 613
commandments and and a Noahide has
seven." What that that that disparity is
very striking and weird. I almost feel
like a sec No. So I'll I'll make it for
so Noahide has about 100 individual
commandments cuz we talk about 613 we
really are talking about 613 individual
commandments, right? Not categories. Now
as you know right now today cuz the
temple hasn't been built,
right now if you're living in Israel,
this I'm going to say this is not
correct, but it's in the area of being
correct.
There are practically for a Jew living
in Israel,
there are let's say about 300
commandments. There are many
commandments which we can't keep cuz we
don't have a temple.
So now the disparity is not so striking.
A Jew has approximately 300 commandments
now cuz we don't have a temple. It will
be built soon. But now, at this moment,
300 a Noachide is about 100. So,
therefore, the disparity is not as wide
as most people think.
>> Right.
You know, it's you also touched on
something else, which is I I love the
way you said basically like if you're
doing something, you know, returning the
banana because you love Hashem. You're
you're giving Hashem a kiss.
When I discuss morality with people who
say that they don't believe in God, it
always gets to a really weird place. You
the If you're If you don't believe in
God, there's no reason to be moral, and
they start making up reasons. Why don't
you murder? Well, because one day
someone else might come to me. No, they
they they start making up reasons, and
the problem with that is number one,
they can reason themselves
into anything and allow themselves to do
anything because it's according to what
they think. Um
And what you're saying is
No, even the things that are logical to
you, which are the seven Noachide laws
are are very logical, but you're doing
it you're building a relationship with
Hashem.
You're you're you're you're doing these
things, and morality
in a in a secular framework doesn't make
sense, and it doesn't really bear any
fruit.
But
when you dedicate your actions that seem
to be just moral and logical, and you
dedicate them to your relationship with
God, it bears a lot of fruit. You are in
relationship with God, and that's what I
understand Noachide
Noachide Noachide covenant is. Covenant
implies it's explicitly a relationship.
So, when you're in this relationship
with Hashem, your actions, your your
what what other people would call
morality, you're building a relationship
with God um in your everyday life, and
it's it's it's it's it's really bears
fruit. That's That's That's a nice
thing.
>> And we are I just want to say this,
Adam, we're living in a remarkable time,
Leo.
>> That was going to be my next question.
>> We're living in a time with the very end
right now. And really the end of the
beginning.
We're living in the moment that our
grandparents dreamed about. They prayed
about and we're here. Why? It's
according to God's eternal plan and
wisdom. I don't know, but I'm very
grateful that we're able to observe this
and we're part of that chain where our
grandparents, our forefathers
were sitting on their shoulders and
they're seeing this through our eyes and
we're very, very fortunate to be alive
now as we watch the redemption. And it's
our hope.
And I know I speak for you here. It is
our hope that those who are the enemies
of Israel
convert and transform themselves and
repent and turn to the God of Israel.
There's so many of you watching us today
years ago would have despised the Jew.
Years ago would have cursed Israel. But
today you have been transformed. It's
our hope as we say in our prayers every
day is from the Bible. There's a hope
that all the world is transformed and
repents and the words of Zephaniah who
walked these streets of Jerusalem that
all the nations speak in a pure speech
of one accord.
Yeah.
>> Wow. Um, that's an amazing vision of
times soon to come.
Okay, Rabbi Rabbi Tovia, unless you have
something else that you want to add,
which everything you've said has blown
me away and has opened up new
understandings to me
to what we're actually entering into.
It's like it happened in Jerusalem, but
it's clearly
connected to everything that's happening
everywhere in the world today.
And uh God willing it'll help address
some of the difficulties we're facing.
Um, we we've been facing difficulties
that have never never been faced before.
>> I want to give the viewers one and with
this advice.
So right now many of the people who are
watching us right now are wondering,
"Where do I start?" And I want to be
able to look this up and and feel
that I understand what's occurring right
now before my eyes. And it's literally
now.
So, I want to share this with the
viewers.
The Book of Ezekiel
um
is really three books in one. It's three
sections.
In um the third section is all about the
Messiah. And as it turns out, Ezekiel
I'm using his straight was most generous
in his words in that every vision he had
he explained, "Let me explain to you
what this vision means, okay?"
This end of Ezekiel, which begins in
chapter 34 to 48, is very easy to
understand.
And I urge you, the viewer, to consider
the following. Ask your husband,
"Sweetheart, let's sit down every night
and read a chapter." And you could just
start with Ezekiel 34.
Sit with your son.
Sit with your daughter and study this I
would say that it will sound almost
black You don't need a commentary,
really, cuz Ezekiel's all You could
certainly use commentaries. But right
now you have to be prepared cuz there
you have all the Messianic age in view.
You have Gog and Magog, the war of Gog
and Magog, the war of Gog and Magog is
Ezekiel 38 and 39. So, you want to know
what's happening? Why is it happening?
Read it there. The third temple is
there. So, I encourage you, the viewer,
to consider
would you be willing to read the word of
God today, not tomorrow?
Read all of Ezekiel, for sure. I don't
want But the beginning of Ezekiel is a
little complicated. I assure you that.
And some of you may be afraid of it
because of that first chapter, which is
very hard. It's not only hard, the first
chapter of Ezekiel no human mind could
fully understand it. Not germane for
this show. What is germane is 34 to 48
is all Messianic and I would encourage
you the viewer not to rely on Rabbi
Singer but [snorts] have to rely on
Rabbi Ezekiel Rabbi Yecheskel. He's our
chief rabbi here. Go [snorts] to the
original text, study it. Of course you
could use a commentary. Rashi they are
by by now will be fabulous but truly I
want to be straight with you. You can
read it for yourself and it reads very
it's very easy you know what I'm saying.
May we see the coming of the true
Messiah may he arrive quickly in our
time.
