Across the Internet, many Americans entertain themselves for hours and even days watching movies, tv shows, YouTube videos, and playing games. According to this successful Wall Street broker turned Rabbi, this leaves less time to focus on things that matter more.
Instead of removing a person from physicality, like some do so that they can experience the spiritual, he turned his message into exciting entertainment by producing captivating films, series, and lectures — all expounding on the Jewish text known as the Torah, given straight from God. The latest movie, on his exciting life story, combined with crucial lessons from the Torah, already has over 700,000 views on YouTube.
Rabbi Yaron Reuven is not your typical Rabbi. He used to be one of the wealthiest stockbrokers in the country, making millions of dollars. In short time, he built his own company, Reuven Capital. Using his unique selling approach, Yaron Reuven, now Rabbi Yaron Reuven, got to the top — fast. He was able to sell anyone, anything. Eventually, he found himself writing business articles, appearing on CNBC as a stock analyst, and even landing on the board for the famous Steve Jobs film released in 2015, featuring Ashton Kutcher. But now, instead of making his next million, he’s using his abilities to reach a much larger audience on the internet, primarily through YouTube, selling the Torah’s ways to help his audience develop into better people.
“The point of the Torah is for it to change you, to improve you, to make you a better version of you.” — Rabbi Yaron Reuven says. He has a different approach compared to other Rabbis. He is a straight talker, ensuring to source everything he says. While some Rabbis try to make their people feel right about everything they do, Rabbi Yaron Reuven has a different approach — rebuke. By rebuking his audience with sources from Jewish texts, his words are not his opinion, but rather the Jewish view as a whole. He just lays it out on a platter for his audience.
Just over the past year, his non-profit charity organization, BeEzrat Hashem, helped around 10,000 needy people, orphans, widows, and families with financial assistance, distributed over 300,000 CD’s of Torah lessons, 5000 Jewish law books and pamphlets, answered over 200,000 questions in Jewish law subjects, and ensured over 60,000,000 minutes of watching and listening to Torah lessons. Rabbi Yaron Reuven is here to stay, proving his critics wrong every step of the way.
Now, when you’re scrolling through YouTube trying to find the latest with the coronavirus, you might find one of his videos and be taken into the spiritual world, right on your iPhone or computer.
