  • He's speaking the Hebrew letters in their original pronunciations, most notably 'ayin being pronounced, hheth (not khet/chet), resh as in a rolled sound on the back of the teeth, etc.

    He's definitely right in doing so, and I've been doing the same after seeing one of this guy's videos on the original pronunciation. And I'm also American. =P

    Thanks to this guy I've been refining my beliefs, customs, and observances toward much more originality. B"H, and thank you omedyashar!!

  • At 0:40 "Too many acronyms..."

    הגה"צ = הגאון הצדיק

    זצ"ל = זכר צדיק לברכה

  • lol. Thank you. Learning Hebrew is a miSwa (in my understanding). Tizku l-miSwoth.

  • it seems like the hachamim these days ursurp :/

  • The term rabbi does not occur in the holy Tanakh. The Encyclopaedia Judaica states: The title rabbi is derived from the noun rav, which in Biblical Hebrew means great and does not occur in the [Hebrew] Bible.

  • LOL זיע"א means זכותו יגן עלינו אמן (May his virtue stand us in good stead). But I hear you. To read rabbinic texts is like deciphering the dead sea scrolls!

  • I'ld like to add that after I made this clip, I found another poster, similar to this one, which said that anyone who doesn't uphold their ruling, such a person has no place in the world to come. WHAT?!! Who gave them such authority to decide such a thing? lol. It's outlandish. I'm so glad these people are pacifists. I think they've just been inbreeding for too long. & that's my 2 cents, lol.

  • Oh yeah, and I took a picture of that poster also. I plan on eventually putting the posters which I photographed together into a better planned video on the topic.

  • 1:56 *Meir Porush

  • History repeats itself - we shall see the revolt of females as is seen in Beresheeth Rabboh 23:23-25.

    There is separation of powers in Judaism. Rabbis have no power in Malkhuth. Only in the instruction of the Toroh.

  • I know plenty of revolting females, already. ;)

  • According to the Talmud, ancient rabbis advised that a scholar should not converse with a woman in the street. The talmud suggest a woman could not look into a mirror, (on the sabbath) as she might see a gray hair and pull it out, and that would be work.

  • ok - so to be a rabbi, is to be one in the beit din gadol. since we're still in galut, i think we should all refer to the rabbis as hac7hamim...my 2 cents.

  • More or less.

    To be a "ribi" -- one must have received s'mikha ('rabbinic ordination') from someone in the line of people who received the same s'mikha going all the way back to Moses, who gave it to the first supreme councel of Israel. ONLY someone who received this s'mikha can be on the Beith Din haGadol (Supreme Israelite Court). Needless to say, this s'mikha died out with the closing of Talmud Bavli.

  • You're right that "rabbis" of today should be called 7a5amim (Hhakhamim / sages / wise-men) or mori/moreh (teacher), as was the practice with regard to the MAJORITY of Jewish leaders in history, until European Jewry became the majority (relatively not so long ago).

    I'm almost certain that European Jewry began calling their leaders "rabbi" due to Christian influence. (N.T. calls Jewish leaders 'rabbi,' all the time.)

  • @omedyashar Great Video .WOW.You are Right they Should be Called Moreh not ''Rabbi''Chas Ve shalom.Only Chazal have The Authority to Interpret Halacha.

  • Semikha ceased with the closing of the Yerushalmi, before the Bavli (with the execution of Nassi by the Romans).

  • Thanks for the correction. Can you find a source? I know that either way, there's a source. Just haven't had time to look for it.

  • Ramban, Sefer haZekhuth on Gittin:

    "מימי הלל.. שנת תר"ע לשטרות, ד"א קי"ח בטלה הסנהדרין בארץ ישראל, ובטלו ממנה מומחין, והוא שתיקן סדר העיבור ומנה שנים וקידש חדשים לדורות."

    That is Hillel Nesi'a ('Hillel the Patriarch' in Aramaic, or Hillel II/Hillel the Last, as he is known).

  • Scholars today think that the Patriarchate (I'm only using this word because they do) actually lasted till Rabban Jamliel VI, and I think that when Marcellus spoke of a medicine "recently" invented by Gamaliel in his "De Medicamentis" (beg. 5th cen.), he wrote "Gamaliel the Patriarch", but I need to double check (Lieberman, Hellenism in Jewish Palestine, pp. 582-83).

  • We do know from a Roman law dated Oct. 415 that R. Jamliel was strongly rebuked for founding new synagogues and allowing Christians to be circumcised. The same law indicated the conflict between the presiding judge and Theodosius II who abolished the house of Hillel (thus the line of Semikha). A law issued May 429 speaks of the "extinction of the patriarchate" (excessus patriarcharum, Codex Theodosianus XVI 8.29)

  • And by the title I was expecting Rabbi Ultimate Fighting or something... lol
