Are the requirements for Jewish orthodox witnesses who sign the ketubah also valid for Noahide weddings with a ketubah? So that it must be two men who are unconnected with the bride and groom?

Dear Rabbi

Who is the “lord” in Psalm 110: 1? Is the author of Psalm 110 someone other than king David, refering TO king David?

Thank you

Shalom,

By increasing Islam in Europe we are more and more confronted with Islamic challenges of the Torah.
Xtians never challenged the text itself, only the interpretation of it.
But the basic claim of Islam is that we Jews changed Tenach, as far as I see now around or more then 2500 years ago, to their claims.
And because Koran writes it, it is divine for them, revealed by G’d to Mohammed, so not disputable.
Even when there is no evidence or proof at all for this statement.

In our forum they try to challenge the reliability of the Torah/Tenach by quoting different pesoekim who seems to contradict each other, and so proving their claim that Torah/Tenach is falsified by jews and with Mohammed corrected.

What is your advise to do with such ‘attacks/challenges’ of them on our forum by muslims ?

So, Xtian challenges are easy to deal with, but see the much more serious problems by islamic ‘attacks’.
Seeing that all those discussions lead to nothing, only a stupid fight about ‘who has the truth’.

I see forward to your response.

Mikwe for noahides ?..

Shalom,

I have read the response of the rabbi in ‘ask the tabbi ‘ about the mikwe.

I give the QA:

2. Is a Noahide allowed to immerse himself in a mikveh (a ritual bath)? A: Yes, as long as he does it with the intention of purifying himself but not with the intention of becoming a Jew.

3. If the answer is yes, what are suitable words or a prayer for a Noahide to recite when immersing in a mikveh? A: “vezarakti aleichem mayim tehorim utehartem mikol tum’oteichem umikol gilulechem ataher etchem” (“I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you will be purified. I will purify you from all your uncleaness and from all your fetishes”) (Ezekiel 36:25).

My questions:

When and how can a noahide become impure ?

What do you exactly mean by ‘purifying’ ?

Particularly ex christians feel themselves guilty by the fact that they believed in the trinity of G’d and have prayed to Jesus, as if he is G’d. They feel as if they were idolators, worhipping an idol, one of the seven laws benee noah.

They want to do teshuva.

What is your advise for that ? What shall they do ?

Is a mikweh a advisable practice in such cases/ aveirot (sins) ?

In most situations a mikweh is not avaiable, but maybe a see or river. Can it used as mikweh ? When is it a mikweh and when not ?

The mikweh is only valible when used naked. When you go to a river or see, which can be used as mikweh, is it an obligation for noahides to do it also naked ?

reconciliation of sins..

Shalom,

I don’t know the exact statement, but very free noted:

Teshuva will bring forgiveness. When the sins are more serious Teshuva and Jom Kipur. When most serious Teshuva, Jom kipur AND suffering.

Maybe you know the exact statement and source for it ?

(I hope i remember it well enough).

What does it mean exactly, because how do we know when teshuva is not enough or even Jom Kipur is not enough ?

Does it also mean that Jom Kipur is necessary for noahides to keep in connection to this statement ?

I am so free to ask about the 70 korbanot we jews bring on sukot for the nations.

For which sins do we bring those 70 korbanot for the nations ?

Can you explain me the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation ?

Deut. 4:28; muslims and Xtians; Gog and Magog..

Shalom

Last Shabbat rabbi Mizrachi was in our midst and gave 3 speeches.

Afterwards I have seen a video lecture of him on the internet ( his website).

see: http://www.divineinformation.com/featured-videos/torah-and-science-2/

I am sure, it is too long for the rabbi’s to see the whole video.

1. He quote Deut.4:28 and shows that the G’ds of wood and stone are ‘the wooden cross; Xtianity’ and ‘the stone in Meccah; Islam). And that it is hidden in the text. By jumping 50 letters there are the words ‘J-SH-U’ and ‘M-C-H’.

is this explanation known by you ? What is the source of it ? And do you agree with this ?

2. Later and i think also in the video ‘The exile of Ishmael and the arabs’ he speaks about a 5th galut for the jews. The last galut, the exile of Ishmael, will be in his opinion the most worse, worser then the Shoah. Xtians and muslims will unite together and will begin a war against Israel. (i suppose the Gog and Magog war).

Here again, do you agree by that ?

My reason for asking you is: the negative prophesies are conditional. So, it don’t MUST happen.

I had the impression that rav Mizrachi was sure that it will happen in next future. He also spoke about a nuclear war. The rest of the jewish people and the righteous people will cry to G’d and He will act and saving the crying people.

Can we say that it is the obligation of jew and non jew to try to prevent it ?

Can we prevent it ?

Is this really what will happen ? (okay, you are not prophets, but how clear are our sources about all this ?).

How can i understand the ‘free will of humans’ and ‘the wonderful reaction of G’d to help the people’.

For me it seems to be in contradiction.

If G’d will act wonderous, all people will see it and will procalim G’d as the only G’d. But not from free will, but because they see the wonders and cannot neglect them.

Maybe you can give some understanding to this problem.
