Parashat Yitro: Jewish Conversion and Ten Commandments

Rabbi Yaron Reuven explains the significance of Parashat Yitro. He highlights that this Parsha marks the moment when the Jewish people receive the Torah at Mount Sinai. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing HaShem as the creator of everything and the necessity of honoring one's parents, which is a commandment directly from HaShem. The Parsha also emphasizes the importance of Shabbat. Rabbi Reuven explains that keeping Shabbat is a covenant between HaShem and the Jewish people, and that failing to do so results in spiritual death and exclusion from the nation of Israel. He emphasizes the importance of following HaShem's commandments as the ultimate source of happiness and connection with the Divine. Rabbi Reuven also delves into the concept of converting to Judaism, explaining that it requires more than just accepting HaShem's existence. It involves recognizing the truth of Judaism and rejecting all prior beliefs. This process, he says, is a difficult yet rewarding endeavor that demonstrates a person's complete submission to HaShem.

Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi.
