    I really appreciate listening to Rabbi David Bar-Hayim for the following reasons: He presents his cases in a very logical manner; he has a very wide and deep knowledge of Torah; he backs up his points by quoting the sources from the Talmud and the Rishonim; and he speaks in a dignified, respectful, and learned manner.

    This is important to me as a Jewish woman. I have been following your videos for a year now and am very encouraged by your thoughts and proofs, Thank you. May I ask about what a woman's responsibility would be when the Temple is in place as far as offerings for her family?

    Is it an issue the wearing of tefillin during niddah? Was there ever a ruling, or is it simply not an issue?

    This position, that one need not give heed to halachic rulings of our great halachic desisors if one doesn't agree with or understand those rulings, is fatally flawed on its face. Frankly, this is to exalt oneself over the sages in the most arrogant manner. This behavior, from a pulpit Rabbi, (which includes all of our present day Rabbi's) when compared to the Rishonim and other great scholars of past years is unacceptable. Would a novice mechanic dare to presume greater knowledge of a craft than senior mechanics possess? Then how much more so should this principle be operative with regard to the reverence we should always display towards our holy Torah scholars of past ages.

      If this is so, why, throughout Jewish history, have the Rabbis argued over interpretation with one Rabbi choosing the opinion of Rabbi X and another Rabbi Y? Poskim make a ruling and quote their sources, which is exactly what the Rav is doing.

    No one is allowed to fart (I use the Yiddish term) when wearing tallit...men or women. I would like to see a scientific study that proves men fart less than women, particularly when wearing tefillin as some religious authorities claim (please do Not take me seriously). I guess we are all buffoons, still I sympathize with those who hate smelly public environments. In conclusion in this appearance of halachic discussion, are we to be grateful this is Not the reason the speaker is against freedom of religious expression among Israeli women, such as Women of The Wall? The speaker include anti LGBT people and anti Palestinian sentiments which because they are unrelated directly to women's equity in religion, shows how mixed up this thinking is.

      Your a smug virtue signalling leftist. You can't expect us to adopt secular humanist definitions of equality. Men and women have equal dignity , value but they are different and play different roles. It's the truth even if you don't like it. If your support degenerate LGBTQ you are against the Torah. You reject the clear prohibitions in the Torah to fit in with secular society.

    I am amazed than some female Rabbis are wearing small kippas. The modesty is served by covering their hair with a veil at Torah services.

      Kippot are a male garment, and a woman wearing a male garment is violating a prohibition laid out in Sefer Devarim. Woman are also forbidden from wearing tallis.

    • @yvettemoore1228
      @yvettemoore1228 Před rokem

      ​@@JoaoHenriqueMartinelliDaSilva is there specific mention of the kippah in halacha? And the Rabbi just quoted sources to prove that women are allowed to perform positive mitzvot they are exempt from. Even 'regular' poskim have said that women should refrain from wearing tallit 'for the honour of the congregation'. In other words not to show up the men. It sounds like this has become tradition that has little actual halachic basis.

    This rabbi is a respectable,rational rabbi, measured and realistic thinking, also the LGBT should really fight for true and humane treatment and equality and not behave in a puerile provocative and insensitive way . In the LGBT there are true intellectuals,sensitive and serious and a small minority behaving im an infantile manner attracts unnecessary irritatation. They also women of the wall and other groups should be apolitical and not poke tbeir nose in politics, fight only for the cause in hand

    Perhaps ha-Rav can show us just ONE place in Tanach where people wore Teffilin. The earliest source is the New Testament in Matthew and there it was only worn by the Pharesees.

      @flamboulder Před 4 lety +2

      You are correct in that it is not explicitly written in the tanakh. The Shema is quite clear about physical and spiritual binding and the Tefillin have been adopted as part of tradition or the oral Torah. I would suggest if you do not regard the oral Torah that one must find an appropriate alternative to wrap and commands on the head and as a sign on the hand. Unless you do not regard the Torah at all in which case it should interest you that Jesus wore tefillin and was a very observant Jew.

    There is no human laws. There is one set of laws. And that id the initial laws given to us by god himself as we were taught but the prophets. Im messianic and i wear tzitzis,tallit, and tefillin. There absolutely nothing in the torah or bibles. Initial ancient scripture that anybody can give one good reason why me and my wife cannot pray this way together. If you think you do. Its man made.

    If you are a sephardi - there is no such thing as a rabbanit (which is the correct point of view). If you are an ashkenazi - you've been raised with the silly European idea of the rebbetzin, or the "lady", and therefore you might allow this practice as Rashi did, living in the northern part of France. Nowhere in the southern part of France, where the REAL Jewish intelligensia lived, is allowing women to put on tefillin every mentioned. It might be allowed, but it should be discouraged. Don't feed female arrogance, it's harmful for them.

  • @Green-zw9pv
    @Green-zw9pv Před 5 lety +1

    Initially women had and still have a very high status within Abrahamic faiths. The value of the woman is her dignity. Her pride.
    The word (عورة /Awrah) in Arabic means something that is blemishing or something that downgrades quality. The skin in islam is considered (عورة/awrah) and therefore should be covered otherwise a woman looses her value, her dignity, her pride. The Awrah of a woman is all her body except the face and palms of the hands. A prostitute or an “adult entertainer” shows her skin/awrah and does “services” that to foreign man (not her husband) for money. She is selling her dignity for money. She is selling her value for money. She is selling her net-worth for paper money that will only last her for some time.
    Coincidentally, the word for skin in Hebrew is (עור/ awr). If a woman wears a tifalin , she is revealing her awrah (skin) and therefore blemishing her value in-front of people and most importantly in-front of the God that she is worshiping.
    Im a muslim, and i don’t believe in wearing special costumes during prayer. A tufalin, a shawl.... meaningless to me to say the least.
    You just have to be physically clean and have decent clothes put on

    The rule that a woman can put on tefilin on shabbos is no proof. Even a minor could do the same thing. Also, as for this Michal bat Kushi, maybe the Chachamim didn't try to reprimand her 'cause she was a crazy black sista and they didn't wanna mess with her?
