Do You Really TRUST GOD? Understanding Bitachon in Judaism – with Rabbi Michael Skobac

Many people say they believe in God—but when life becomes uncertain, do we truly trust Him?

In Judaism, Bitachon (trust in God) goes beyond simply believing that God exists. It teaches us how to live with confidence in God’s wisdom while still taking personal responsibility for our health, livelihood, and daily decisions.

In this thoughtful presentation, Rabbi Michael Skobac explores one of Judaism’s most profound spiritual teachings: how to balance human effort with complete trust in God’s providence.

In this video you’ll learn:
• What Bitachon really means in Judaism
• The difference between belief (Emunah) and trust (Bitachon)
• Why trusting God does not eliminate personal responsibility
• How Judaism balances effort with reliance on Divine providence
• Practical ways to strengthen trust during life’s challenges

What Does Judaism Say About Revenge

Jews for Judaism — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:54:42 +0000

When someone hurts us, the desire to “get even” can feel natural. But Judaism offers a radically different path.

In this thought-provoking lecture, Rabbi Michael Skobac explores the Torah’s prohibition against harboring revenge and bearing grudges, revealing how these timeless teachings can transform our relationships, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.

• What the Torah means by revenge and bearing a grudge
• Why Judaism views revenge as spiritually damaging
• The deeper meaning of “Love your neighbor as yourself”
• Practical ways to respond to hurt and betrayal

Jews for Judaism — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:31:50 +0000

Why Some Christians Believe This Israeli Rabbi is the ANTI CHRIST – The Yanuka – with Rabbi Michael Skobac

Why are some Christians calling a respected Israeli rabbi the “Anti-Christ”?

Rabbi Shlomo Yehudah Be’eri, often known as “The Yanuka,” is a highly regarded Torah scholar in Israel. Yet among some Christians, speculation about his identity has sparked surprising claims and intense reactions.

In this thought-provoking program, Rabbi Michael Skobac examines who Rabbi Be’eri really is, why some Christians view the possibility of a Jewish Messiah as threatening, and how Judaism approaches Messianic expectations very differently from Christianity.

In this video you’ll learn:
• Who Rabbi Shlomo Yehudah Be’eri is and why he attracts attention
• Why some Christians associate Jewish Messianic expectations with the Anti-Christ concept
• How Judaism identifies a potential Messiah
• Why Judaism and Christianity have fundamentally different Messianic criteria
• What this debate reveals about future Jewish-Christian dialogue

Can Non Jews Keep Shabbat? What Judaism Says

Jews for Judaism — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 22:55:31 +0000

Can non-Jews observe Shabbat? In this lecture Rabbi Michael Skobac explores what Jewish law and traditional sources teach about the role of Shabbat (The Jewish Sabbath) for Jews and non-Jews.

Shabbat is one of the most recognizable commandments in the Bible – but is it intended for all humanity, or specifically for the Jewish people?

Judaism teaches that all people are created in God’s image and have a sacred role in His plan. Yet while the Torah commands Jews to observe the Sabbath, Jewish tradition maintains that non-Jews are not obligated to keep Shabbat. Why is that the case? And is there any problem with a non-Jew choosing to observe it?

In this thought-provoking presentation, discover the Torah’s perspective on the unique covenant of Israel, the Seven Noahide Laws, and the deeper meaning of the Sabbath in Jewish thought.

If you are a
• Jew seeking to understand the unique role of Shabbat
• Noahide looking for guidance on proper observance
• Christian interested in Torah observance
• Former Messianic Jew or Hebrew Roots follower reevaluating Sabbath theology
• General Bible student exploring the relationship between Israel and the nations…

Then, in this video you will learn:
• Why the Sabbath became a unique sign of the covenant between God and Israel
• The purpose of the Seven Noahide Laws for humanity
• Whether non-Jews may observe aspects of Shabbat
• Common misconceptions about the Ten Commandments and universal morality
• How Jewish tradition understands the spiritual mission of Jews and non-Jews

Reasons for God’s Commandments The Flavors of Jewish Living

Jews for Judaism — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:21:55 +0000

Reasons for God’s Commandments The Flavors of Jewish Living – with Rabbi Michael Skobac

“I’ve heard about commandments before—but what are they actually supposed to do for me?”

Why did God give commandments? Are they simply rules to obey, or do they contain deeper wisdom meant to enrich our lives?

In this thought-provoking presentation, Rabbi Michael Skobac explores a centuries-old Jewish debate about the purpose of the Torah’s commandments. While some sages taught that mitzvot should be observed simply because they reflect God’s will, many others believed that every commandment contains profound lessons and benefits waiting to be discovered.

Whether you are Jewish, Christian, a Noahide, a former Messianic believer, or a sincere spiritual seeker, this lecture offers valuable insights into how Judaism understands the role of divine commandments in personal growth, ethical living, and our relationship with God.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why Jewish thinkers have debated the reasons behind the commandments
• Whether every mitzvah has a discoverable purpose
• How commandments shape character and spiritual awareness
• Which Torah teachings apply universally and which are unique to the Jewish people
• What the Torah’s commandments can teach all humanity about meaningful living

LOVING KINDESS in Judaism: A Foun-dation of the World – Rabbi M. Skobac

Jews for Judaism — Sat, 30 May 2026 00:16:27 +0000

LOVING KINDNESS IN JUDAISM: A Foundation of the World – with Rabbi Michael Skobac

What if kindness is not merely something you do — but something you become?

What does Judaism actually teach about kindness — and why is it considered one of the foundations of the world?

In this thought-provoking lecture, Rabbi Michael Skobac explores the Jewish understanding of loving kindness (chesed) and why the sages taught that the world stands upon Torah, Divine service, and acts of kindness.

But Judaism challenges us to go even deeper. It is not enough merely to perform kind acts. The ultimate goal is to transform ourselves into people who genuinely love kindness and embody compassion in daily life.

In this lecture, you will discover:
• Why loving kindness is central to Jewish life
• The deeper spiritual purpose behind acts of kindness
• How Judaism refines our character, not just our behavior
• Different levels of kindness according to the sages
• How kindness shapes both the individual and the world

Whether you are reconnecting with Judaism, exploring Torah philosophy, or searching for authentic Jewish spiritual wisdom, this lecture offers timeless and practical insight.

WHAT WOULD GOD DO? Living Our Lives Emulating the Creator – R Skobac

Jews for Judaism — Sun, 24 May 2026 15:50:22 +0000

WHAT WOULD GOD DO? Living Our Lives Emulating the Creator – with Rabbi Michael Skobac

Judaism teaches that G-d created human beings to give us the opportunity to experience the greatest fulfillment and pleasure. The greatest pleasure is the possibility of coming close to the source of all other pleasures in existence and to experience the greatest good that exists – this being G-d Himself.

How do we get close to God? One of the ways the Torah proposes is by becoming more and more like God. We can do this by patterning the way we act in the world to follow the way that the Almighty acts.

In this presentation, Rabbi Michael Skobac will discuss how we can incorporate this into our lives.

Topics include:
• The “image of God” in Judaism
• How mitzvot connect us to God
• Why actions matter in Torah
• Kindness, holiness, and spiritual growth
• Becoming God’s partner in creation
