Judaism Is Cool- Short video.
« on: October 19, 2008, 07:27:49 PM »


 (Longer version is also avilable- on the side, but this is a kool video.)

The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)

It's nice that these people like learning Torah, but it's irrelevant.  G-d did not give the Jews the Torah at Sinai for Jews to like it.  He gave it to them to follow.  The minute you hear commentary about how somebody likes Torah, then you hear arguments about why somebody does not like it.  Like it or don't like it, but if you are a Jew, then observe it!

 Right, but it is also good to motivate people and get them to start at least somewhere.

Ok, that's true.

Tzvi,

You are very correct. One must have it in them to go study Torah and there is no better way to put the desire in the heart than by reaching out to the young ones. I have not seen this video but I agree that motivating the youth is one of the most important issues for the Jewish world. Without JEWISH EDUCATION there is no next generation of religious Jews. When I was at the Sukkot party tonight I enjoyed looking at the faces of the young boys and girls and thinking how they will turn out 20 years from now. I really hope that they are learning about Judaism from their parents. This is why children are the most important part of Pesach because they must learn about our journey.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
