As a gentle, I’m always amazed at the scholarly nature of rabbinical teaching.

All I can say is pray for Israel and pray for the leaders that they will listen to the voice of Elohim of Israel alone.

People with British accents & word choice can be that way. 😄 Being highy educated, as the rabbi clearly is, certainly doesn't hurt.

Thank you Rabbi for your insight, Shalom!

This video explains a lot to me and shed some light on an internal conflict I had. Thank you !!!

Did anybody ever spy the Rabbi smiling?

Excellent! Yashar Ko'ah!

Rabbi Jacob Joseph was chief rabbi of New York from 1888 to 1902.

I think the French (and others) got in before the English. I don't think the concept of "chief rabbi" really has much meaning within Judaism. The post is basically a tool for negotiation with the secular (there's that word again) or Christian authorities. I'm from a Catholic background, so am wide open to correction on this point, though corrections from a "chief rabbi" won't necessarily weigh any heavier with me than anybody else's! I can't help feeling that if you follow the desire for one definitive, centralized authority, you risk falling into the same trap that we did.

Do you include Reform and Masorti communities within your theory of self regulating communities, or do you not consider them as Jewish communities? How about the modern orthodox approach that now accepts female Rabbis and more lenient interpretation of Halacha etc. many issues and complexities. Similarly if I go to England or the USA or Australia even there are various kosher authorities and it is my choice whether to accept the particular certification or reject it.

Your a mentally ill liberal who can't see reality. Reformed Judaism is not real Judaism. Bunch of heretics. And I don't care if this offends your liberal modern sensibilities. Lies are lies. Just because a few orthodox heretics allow female rabbis you expect everyone to allow it. Go to hell

The chief rabbi isn't there to replace local community rabbis they are still in place. As long as the right man is chosen for the job it's certainly a useful thing for Jews and every people to have a representative regardless of who instituted of the idea.

Isn't each community and its rabbi choosing their own course an exile approach? Should we not return to implementing a sanhedrin which will unify the people and bring more dialogue between groups?

Jonathan M. There are moves towards a sanhedrin although halachically I understand they can only succeed if every rabbi in Eretz Yisroel agrees. I would bet on Moshiach coming first ^^

Great video and great channel, Rabbi. I was disappointed after watching another video, which is about the imperative of kill potential terrorists when the security forces have the chance. Though this video is excellent.

Secular rulers havemeddled in religious leadership all over the world since beginning of time. The government of Israel is just one more secular government.

The words you used to express yourself contradicted what you intended to say. Every hierarchy is worthy of being questioned. Shabbes is a good 12h away from happening here, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you per computer by now, but have a good day too.

Please do not use the P word. Eretz Yisrael, please. Romans, Turks, Brits, Arabs all use the P-codeword to delegitimize Jewish ties and history ba'aretz.

.The British chief rabbinate is a voluntary association in Britain. Staying outside the United grouping does not mean not being Torah true. The United Hebrew Congreagation is simply a convenience. The only Bet Din Kavua in Australia is the Sydney Bet Din and they consult with dayanim in Israel as much as the UJK. Disputes involving Australians and which cannot be heard by the local rabbinate, for instance because they are all known to the dayanim, get referred to London because the proceedings need to be in English for the sake ok the litigants Most disputes among Australians are heard locally by zablounder the auspices of the Bet Din.. The Chief Rabbinate in England has a central database of marriage and divorce. However there are other botei din in the UK which are perfectly acceptable for divorce, various Hasidic courts, Manchester and maybe more of which I have not heard. Choosing a rabbi according to lifestyle sounds a bit difficult to me. Look at Shlomo Schecter in the US. Started out as a chasid of the Rebbe Rayatz and ended up leading many away from the paths of Torah. Sure, Judaism is not hierarchical but there is a convention af concensus.

@@liamsandal6360 different people. I think the name I had in mind was Zalman Schwchter-Shiloni, a former chasid of the Rayatz and the late Lubavitcher Rebbe who was associated with Jewish Renewal and died 10yeara or so ago. He visited Australia in the 20 0s and I took him to see an old Yeshiva chaver, R Mendel Feldman OBM who spent his last years in Sydney

Most of the introduction is unnecessary and saying Shalom to the rabbi is just silly
