THE CORRECT ENUMERATION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - (*Re-introducing the commandment that has been deleted from being taught) Deut 5:6 - 22 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 1- Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. 2 - Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 3 - Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. 4* - And REMEMBER THAT THOU WAS A SERVANT IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. 5 - Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6 - Thou shalt not kill. 7 - Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 8 - Neither shalt thou steal. 9 - Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10 - Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. 22These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: AND HE ADDED NO MORE. = Compare this listing to the Exodus listing and see the 'commandment' I'm showing that is ADDED to make the ten. And he wrote them on two tales of stone and gave them unto me.
J'ai adoré le vidéo!!! Il était tellement bien fait! Ça m'a vraiment aide à comprendre qu'elles sont les 39 melachot de Shabbat et comment elles sont applicables à notre vie! Merci

ANY DAY OF THE WEEK CAN BE THE SABBATH DAY - AND THERE IS NO OTHER REQUIREMENT OTHER THAN "REST" ORDAINED FOR THAT DAY "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:" These commandments are to be upheld by the INDIVIDUAL not the nation as a whole. "Do not lie" is for the individual to uphold. "Honor thy father and thy mother" is for an individual to uphold not the nation to create an 'Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother Day 'celebrations. This commandment only says you can work for six days in a row but you must rest on the 7th following the sixth. NOTHING MORE. Doesn't say there is any specific day of the week you must choose to start your work week. If an individual chooses to start his work week on Monday then Sunday becomes THAT person's Sabbath day of rest (and nothing more than rest is required of him). Same if a person chooses his work week to start on Sunday then Saturday is his Sabbath day. Individuals can come together for their convenience to agree to start their work week on any specific day and have their Sabbaths coincide..... but that doesn't give any individual or group authority to decide that work week starting point for others.
My pleasure my friend! Please let me know if you have questions or need help! Stay safe and blessed and wishing you and your family a Shavua happy Tov ❤️❤️❤️
Shabbat Shalom! (Apologies for posting while you are possibly observing Shabbat, here it has been dark for a few hours already). I do have a question regarding whether something is permissible on Shabbat from an Orthodox perspective. Where I live, we are having our national election. Elections are always on Saturday and voting is mandatory for those with the right to vote, although it's possible to vote early if one cannot vote on the day. Would it be correct to say that even if one could walk to a poling place and thus not need to drive, voting in an election is not a permissible activity on Shabbat as this would involve writing? Todah rabah in advance!
Hi John you are correct that writing on Shabbat is not permissible as well as doing activities that are usually done on the weekday so in this case it seems that a vote by anticipation would be the proper way to go for someone who observes Shabbat I hope that answers your question and if you have more please let me know!
Hi Deuteronomy 4:2! thank you so much for your kind words: they are so lovely! please let me know if you have any questions: I would love to help! Stay safe and blessed my sweet friend!
you can't start up -- so if it is already on -- it is okay -- so you would turn your light on before Friday sundown and it would stay on until after sundown on Saturday...the heat would already be on .... so that is fine
Hi there, non Jew here. I’ve been on a spiritual journey over the last two years trying to refine my faith. I have a question in regards to the sabbath rules. What happens if you need to go to the hospital but it’s the sabbath? Like if you’re having a stroke or heart attack? You’re making others work…ambulance drivers, hospital workers, etc…and you’re using electricity when you’re there presumably. So are you breaking the sabbath by seeking medical care? Also, in regards to not using electricity, do you not use AC or heating during the sabbath? What if you have small children? Extreme heat or cold can often be fatal to little ones. Thanks you!
Hi! I LOVE YOUR QUESTIONS: they make me super happy 😃 ! To save a life you can infringe on any Shabbat laws: the life of someone is more important than anything! As per the AC/Heating: as long as the appliance you are using was started before Shabbat and you are not charging it’s setting during Shabbat you are great! So putting the heating or The AC or the hot plate before Shabbat and using it on Shabbat is fine in general; there are some Exceptions or course but overall that’s the main rule! I hope It helps! Please let me know if you have questions or need any help; I am here for you !
@@frumitup Sorry, one more question..if my 15 year old stepson has a sport he enjoys but they have games on Saturdays, would he need to give up that sport? Also is it okay to take our 2 year old to places like trampoline parks on Saturdays when we are off work? Or would that be wrong because we are essentially forcing someone else to work?
@@mamamcfreeman105 good questions. Usually doing sports and the like takes us away from the goal of Shabbat which is to reconnect with G.od and our higher self hence usually sports, entertainment, park,… are omitted on Shabbat even for children but of course as usual some rabbis will allow it for small children “Activities” on Shabbat would be walking in a park making sure to look at the surroundings with awe as everything is created or a creature from G.od, talk about the Torah,… I hope it helps!
Hi! I hope you are well! You are right that to save a life, the rules/ laws of Shabbat will not apply to a doctor or anyone in the process of saving a life: they can drive, write,... because the life that G.od gave us is sacred and takes precedence over Shabbat laws! Isn’t this amazing! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment Stay safe and blessed
Hi! Great question! If you neeed an extra plate or knife,… for the meal you are about to eat, you can wash them but you cannot do your whole dishes if you will not use them in Shabbat ❤️
Let us say that I have a four day workweek and I keep the shabbat on the correct day but I forget to do malacha on the other 2 days that are not shabbat Isn't that the opposite of a mitzvah
Hi Prince of darkness, Interesting question: Let me start by clarifying: A mitzvah in Hebrew means a commandment i.e. one of the 613 commandments found in the Torah. Keeping Shabbat is part of the 10 cardinal commandments in Judaism given by G.od to the Jews. A melacha of Shabbat is in regards to the 39 melacha/work done in the mishkan or Temple and the prohibition to do these melachot/ work only applies for Shabbat and most of the Jewish Holidays. Therefore whether you do or not these 39 melacha on a weekday has no bearing on what you can do or not on Shabbat/ Jewish Holiday and has no impact on the mitzvah/ commandment of Shabbat. I hope it helps! Pleased let me know if you have more questions!
If someone is very I’ll we can desecrate Shabbat completely Without of course going overboard But if the person is I’ll and bedridden, the person will do what they can to celebrate Shabbat but let’s say for a man , he will not go to the prayer at synagogue but as much as possible he will still try to pray, … Unless he is severely Ill he will simply rest most of the time but will not desecrate Shabbat
Hi, i am a new subscriber and let me say addicted to your Channel. I hope my question isn't stupid but I just wanted to ask how do one celebrates Shabbat if the person is a doctor/nurse on duty and has to perform an important surgery?
Hi SPT:) thank you so much for your kindness! When we are on call at the hospital on Shabbat or the holidays, we have very strict sets of rules and try to minimize all transgressions but if needed you can transgress all rules to save a life because life is sacred in Judaism :)
My question may sound like a joke, but it really isn't. If someone lived in the woods and their house caught on fire ons Shabbat would they put it out? I guess I'm asking if exception are made for certain situations.
Hi Savina! Goood question! If they have everything in their house and would become homeless without any resources most commentators will say yes! It would be a yes for sure if there are people in the house!! Like you said it is a case by case situation and it has many variables like, will another house will catch on fire because of this house being on fire? Will the forest will catch on fire and risk to kill other people or cause more damages,… in general the answer it yes we try to stop the fire!
Hi Krystal❤️thank you so much for your questions! To answer your questions would need for me to go in more details but here are the answers in a nutshell: On Shabbatwe cannot use hot water so no bath or shower of the body with hot water but in some specific instances certain part of the body can be washed with cold water If you do not bleed when you brush your teeth, you can brush your teeth and it’s better to use liquid toothpaste but you cannot rinse your toothbrush until you use it next time You cannot use hair brush or combs on Shabbat so no brushing of the hair with these tools but you could brush your hair with your fingers or baby brush As per cream it is a no go unless it would be prescribed by a doctor or needed by a baby and it should be applied with shinooiy/ a different way then during the week. There are many more nuances to your questions but in general these are the answers for Orthodox Jews I hope it helps and please let me know if you need more help or have more questions: I am here for you!! Stay safe and blessed my sweet Crystal!

@@element2138 I haven't been able to start. I currently live in an area with no Orthodox community, and you have to live within the community in order to start your conversion. Currently job hunting so I can move soon. I work full time, so it's a struggle to make time for everything. Thank you for asking! Are you converting?
Hi Jess! Creating is not a category per say: all the melachot are creating / transforming.ie changing one state to another through an action creates something new Eg Creating is in that list: we use it as the example for using light on Shabbat kindling a light is creating light I hope it helps!
Hi! Good question! We write G.od and not in a full word as it is an interdiction in the Torah to erase / destroyed G.od’s name, so to make sure it does not happen let’s say if someone would print His name we write it in a different way. J’espère que cela répond à votre question en vous souhaitant une très bonne journée❤️
I was LDS (Mormon) for 10 years. No restrictions on electricity. We could drive, but not buy gas. We couldn't buy anything (like order pizza). We could cook. we couldn't work (we weren't supposed to). Women wore skirts and dresses to church but could change out of them once home (we usually wore sweats). Every first Sunday was fast and testimony Sunday.
@@frumitup I'm a Latter-day Saint (aka LDS/ Mormon), and we are taught that on the Sabbath we should abstain from doing unnecessary work and things that would cause other people to have to work on the Sabbath, such as going to stores/restaurants. Instead, we should focus more on the Lord's work such as studying scripture, attending church, helping others, resting, and spending time with family. Each person/family interprets those things differently because they're more of guidelines than hard and fast rules. Even within a single congregation, there will be many variations of "keeping the Sabbath Holy."
I am still confused. Aren't rabiI working performing religious services for holy days? You are a doctor, don't you get called in for emergencies on holy days?

Hi Prince of darkness,
Interesting question:
Let me start by clarifying: A mitzvah in Hebrew means a commandment i.e. one of the 613 commandments found in the Torah.
Keeping Shabbat is part of the 10 cardinal commandments in Judaism given by G.od to the Jews.
A melacha of Shabbat is in regards to the 39 melacha/work done in the mishkan or Temple and the prohibition to do these melachot/ work only applies for Shabbat and most of the Jewish Holidays.
Therefore whether you do or not these 39 melacha on a weekday has no bearing on what you can do or not on Shabbat/ Jewish Holiday and has no impact on the mitzvah/ commandment of Shabbat.
I hope it helps!
Pleased let me know if you have more questions!
What happens if someone is ill on Shabbat and can't do all the things you do?
If someone is very I’ll we can desecrate Shabbat completely Without of course going overboard
But if the person is I’ll and bedridden, the person will do what they can to celebrate Shabbat but let’s say for a man , he will not go to the prayer at synagogue but as much as possible he will still try to pray, …
Unless he is severely Ill he will simply rest most of the time but will not desecrate Shabbat

Hi, i am a new subscriber and let me say addicted to your Channel. I hope my question isn't stupid but I just wanted to ask how do one celebrates Shabbat if the person is a doctor/nurse on duty and has to perform an important surgery?
Hi SPT:)
thank you so much for your kindness!
When we are on call at the hospital on Shabbat or the holidays, we have very strict sets of rules and try to minimize all transgressions but if needed you can transgress all rules to save a life because life is sacred in Judaism :)
My question may sound like a joke, but it really isn't. If someone lived in the woods and their house caught on fire ons Shabbat would they put it out? I guess I'm asking if exception are made for certain situations.
Or is that something the is debated?
Hi Savina!
Goood question!
If they have everything in their house and would become homeless without any resources most commentators will say yes! It would be a yes for sure if there are people in the house!!
Like you said it is a case by case situation and it has many variables like, will another house will catch on
fire because of this house being on fire? Will the forest will catch on fire and risk to kill other people or cause more damages,… in general the answer it yes we try to stop the fire!
Thank thank you so much for answering.
@@savinamorgan390 my pleasure! I think it’s the least I can do to answer you when you had the kindness to ask me a question ❤️❤️❤️
I’m looking at converting to Orthodox- is it true that on Shabbat Jews are not suppose to brush their teeth, hair, bathe/shower or apply creams?
Hi Krystal❤️thank you so much for your questions!
To answer your questions would need for me to go in more details but here are the answers in a nutshell:
On Shabbatwe cannot use hot water so no bath or shower of the body with hot water but in some specific instances certain part of the body can be washed with cold water
If you do not bleed when you brush your teeth, you can brush your teeth and it’s better to use liquid toothpaste but you cannot rinse your toothbrush until you use it next time
You cannot use hair brush or combs on Shabbat so no brushing of the hair with these tools but you could brush your hair with your fingers or baby brush
As per cream it is a no go unless it would be prescribed by a doctor or needed by a baby and it should be applied with shinooiy/ a different way then during the week.
There are many more nuances to your questions but in general these are the answers for Orthodox Jews
I hope it helps and please let me know if you need more help or have more questions: I am here for you!!
Stay safe and blessed my sweet Crystal!
@@frumitup Thank you for answering my questions, I appreciate it! God bless you and shalom. :)

ANY DAY OF THE WEEK CAN BE THE SABBATH DAY - AND THERE IS NO OTHER REQUIREMENT OTHER THAN "REST" ORDAINED FOR THAT DAY
"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:"
These commandments are to be upheld by the INDIVIDUAL not the nation as a whole.
"Do not lie" is for the individual to uphold. "Honor thy father and thy mother" is for an individual to uphold not the nation to create an 'Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother Day 'celebrations.
This commandment only says you can work for six days in a row but you must rest on the 7th following the sixth. NOTHING MORE. Doesn't say there is any specific day of the week you must choose to start your work week. If an individual chooses to start his work week on Monday then Sunday becomes THAT person's Sabbath day of rest (and nothing more than rest is required of him). Same if a person chooses his work week to start on Sunday then Saturday is his Sabbath day. Individuals can come together for their convenience to agree to start their work week on any specific day and have their Sabbaths coincide..... but that doesn't give any individual or group authority to decide that work week starting point for others.
@@element2138 I haven't been able to start. I currently live in an area with no Orthodox community, and you have to live within the community in order to start your conversion. Currently job hunting so I can move soon. I work full time, so it's a struggle to make time for everything. Thank you for asking!
Are you converting?
Creating isn't on that list, is it separate from the 39?
Hi Jess!
Creating is not a category per say: all the melachot are creating / transforming.ie changing one state to another through an action creates something new
Eg
Creating is in that list: we use it as the example for using light on Shabbat kindling a light is creating light
I hope it helps!
Hi there, why do you write G.od instead of God? Merci (from France).
Hi!
Good question!
We write G.od and not in a full word as it is an interdiction in the Torah to erase / destroyed G.od’s name, so to make sure it does not happen let’s say if someone would print His name we write it in a different way.
J’espère que cela répond à votre question en vous souhaitant une très bonne journée❤️
@@frumitup c'est parfait, merci à vous !
I was LDS (Mormon) for 10 years. No restrictions on electricity. We could drive, but not buy gas. We couldn't buy anything (like order pizza). We could cook. we couldn't work (we weren't supposed to). Women wore skirts and dresses to church but could change out of them once home (we usually wore sweats). Every first Sunday was fast and testimony Sunday.
Wooow thank you Michelle for this insight: I love learning about different faiths: please tell me more! Only if you want of course!
@@frumitup I'm a Latter-day Saint (aka LDS/ Mormon), and we are taught that on the Sabbath we should abstain from doing unnecessary work and things that would cause other people to have to work on the Sabbath, such as going to stores/restaurants. Instead, we should focus more on the Lord's work such as studying scripture, attending church, helping others, resting, and spending time with family. Each person/family interprets those things differently because they're more of guidelines than hard and fast rules. Even within a single congregation, there will be many variations of "keeping the Sabbath Holy."
Hi! Does this mean that your children don’t have to do homework on Shabbat? That sounds great! :D
Yep, no written homework 📄

I am still confused.
Aren't rabiI working performing religious services for holy days?
You are a doctor, don't you get called in for emergencies on holy days?
saving a life trumps the Sabbath rest -- so she would be able to save a life on the Sabbath if necessary.
