The 18 Decrees of Beit Shammai

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov


Two thousand years ago, two Jewish academies dominated the Judean landscape: Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai. While Jewish law is said to always follow Beit Hillel, there was a time when Beit Shammai managed to forcefully vote in 18 decrees. The Talmud states this day was as terrible for Israel as the day of the Golden Calf. 

What really happened at that fateful event? What were the 18 laws? And why do we still observe them
 today?

On Xtians Becoming Jews

This is interesting... it's only 5 minutes and it seems to confirm Rabbi Kessin's assertion that Eisav does teshuva at the end of days.  Some people have doubted the "good part of Eisav" rhetoric, especially the Trump side of things. I'll be interested to see what people think about this. 

On the growing number of Noahides and Christian converts to Judaism, as a fulfilment of ancient Biblical and Jewish prophecy. Also: is the term "Judeo-Christian values" appropriate?

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov


Also, from Rabbi Yuval Ovadia, "A Special Tikun for Klal Yisrael" which you can watch here.
Thanks to TR for sending it.
