Who Do I Learn From?

As a self-described Daughter of Ruth, clinging to the people of Israel, I have taken a serious clue from a text largely overlooked in my earlier Christian background that I left...

Romans 3:1,2 YLT

What, then, is the superiority of the Jew? Or what the profit of the circumcision? Much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were in trusted with the oracles of G-d;...

For that reason, I choose to learn from Jews. The primary teacher I learn from is an Orthodox Jew, a retired Rabbi who teaches a class called Walk with G-d on Zoom, an online conference platform. The foundation of His class curriculum is...

Micah 6:8

It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the L-RD doth require of thee: Only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy G-d.

From this foundation, my teacher teaches in a very straightforward manner, very practical principles anyone can live by. In my opinion, if the whole world followed this basic formula for life, without browbeating everyone else, requiring them to accept a bunch of debatable dogmas for fear of eternal hellfire, the world would be a better place.

Everyone has a right to choose what they want to believe, for sure, but there are some who are taught they are compelled to impose their beliefs on others or suffer eternal damnation or something like that. My teacher teaches no such thing. That concept does not exist in Jewish thought. Another reason why I choose their instruction.
