Many Jews view the Torah as a gift from God that belongs to the Jewish people alone, but is that still the case? More specifically, should Torah study only be for Jews?
Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, one of Israel’s foremost teachers of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and Chassidut (the study of the inner dimensions of Torah), has been addressing this question for the past few years.
In a transcript of a recent talk called “The Fourth Revolution: Torah Study for Gentiles,” Rabbi Ginsburgh acknowledged that the Torah was originally given exclusively to the Jewish people. Over time however, there have been multiple paradigm shifts in approaches to Torah study among which have included putting the Oral Torah down in writing as well as opening up Torah study to women.
According to Rabbi Ginsburgh, the world is now ready for the fourth revolution, which will be to more fully introduce Torah study for non-Jews. When non-Jews study Torah, the words of Isaiah are being fulfilled.
And the many peoples shall go and say: “Come, Let us go up to the Mount of Hashem, To the House of the God of Yaakov; That He may instruct us in His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction shall come forth from Tzion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim. Isaiah 2:3
“It is the task of the Jewish people to teach and disseminate the Torah of the Noahides to all of mankind,” Rabbi Ginsburgh acknowledged. “The Lubavitcher Rebbe (beloved 20th century Chassidic rabbi) stressed that in our generation, the world is ready and it is time for us to put this into practice.”
The “Torah of the Noahides” is a reference to the Sheva Mitzvot Bnei Noach – the seven Noahide Laws, which according to the Talmud, were given by God to Noah and intended for all of humanity.
“In practice, the Noahide laws are the most fundamental human obligations,” taught Rabbi Ginsburgh. “But, keeping the seven Noahide mitzvot does not suffice. This level of Torah study alone cannot fully realize the idea of tikkun olam (spiritual repair of the world in preparation for Messianic days).”
In other words, teaching the seven Noahide Laws to non-Jews is no longer good enough in the current era, which is approaching the End of Days. Instead, Rabbi Ginsburgh strongly advocates for much more Torah study among non-Jews.
“[T]he nations of the world can only recognize the Torah as the source of all the sparks of truth that their religions contain if they are exposed to the entire Torah in all its glory,” he explained. “They must study Torah in a way that reveals its depth and its profound relevance to their own lives.”
What does this mean practically? Rabbi Ginsburgh charges the Jewish people with a crucial mission.
“We are being called upon to begin offering Torah to the non-Jews, without limiting them to studying only the seven Noahide laws alone. They need to be exposed to the entire expanse of Torah teachings.”
“The intention in teaching Torah to non-Jews Torah is not to preach conversion,” he stressed. “If a non-Jew wishes to convert to Judaism, he or she may do so, but this must be from their own free choice, without coercion.”
“Teaching Torah means sharing with the nations of the world some of the infinite wisdom and beauty that it contains.”
For then I will make the peoples pure of speech, So that they all invoke Hashem by name And serve Him with one accord. Zephaniah 3:9
Anticipating that many Jews may find his message to be radical, Rabbi Ginsburgh reminded his Jewish audience that there are benefits for Jews willing to teach Torah to non-Jews.
“Teaching Torah to non-Jews is a great challenge to any individual who takes it upon himself, but encountering people who are far removed from Torah will bring him into contact with questions and new perspectives that will rejuvenate his relationship with the Torah and infuse it with new motivation,” he advised his Jewish students.
Rabbi Ginsburg also suggested that “teaching the Torah to non-Jews augments the Jewish people’s status as ‘a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’”
But you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Yisrael.” Exodus 19:6
“The time has come to act for God. With God’s help, the fourth revolution [more fully opening the doors of Torah study for non-Jews] will… [bring] true peace and light to the world,” Rabbi Ginsburgh concluded.

As a believing Christian I follow the new testament teaching of:
Heb_8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
TAKE YOUR EFFIN ‘TO RAH’ AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR STINKING JEW AR$E!!!!!!!!
Gee Mary, I feel the same way!!
Ahhh, Mary, you wax beautifully poetic.
🙂
.
I chose to remove my family from a church we attended for over 8 years because the pastor decided to start this crap. The flag of Israel was hung in 2 different places in the church building – the worship center and the children’s worship center. I saw this train wreck coming more than a year off, and I waited and prayed patiently to see if anyone would recognize the Judaizers for who they were, and if God would intervene to stop it. Instead of backing off, those who were attempting to teach the truth were condemned as “anti-semetic”. I stayed long enough to see the bus was heading towards the cliff, and when we were told we were going to start learning the same “portion” each week that the Jews were learning in their synagogues, I walked out and never looked back. This Judaizing influence is being pushed by the “Judeo-Christian” sect, and is absolutely NOT the teaching of the Torah (Pentateuch; first 5 books of Moses) and the prophets (the rest of what we would call the old testament of the Bible), it is the addition of the writings from the Talmud, the so-called “blessed sages of memory”, and modern Rabbinical discourse. The Jews and everything Jewish is put on a pedestal; the current State of Israel is never questioned, and those with “Jewish” heritage (which means Khazars & Ashkenazis) are celebrated in the congregation and held in positions of honor above others who honor the Bible’s clear teachings regarding the equal status of all under the New Covenant in Christ Jesus.
This issue is one of my pet peeves, and I have much more to say regarding the matter; right now I am out of time. I may revisit this article and hit the high points later if I can. In fact, after glancing at it briefly, I believe I MUST say more regarding this abomination.
Thanks Darzak. You really were on the inside of this onslaught, right where it was forced into your lap. A good thing you saw through it. So many did not.
🙁
A few days late (had to go somewhere 16th-18th), but absolutely agree, Darzak. If the church I attend sometimes ever puts up an Israeli flag, I am done, and if my own husband doesn’t like it, too freakin’ bad! (He tends to waver a times regarding Christian Zionism…problem is he listens to Hagmann and Hagmann-types too damned often. My biggest fear now is that I may have to leave him over this. I will not tolerate Talmudism in any way, shape or form!)
“If a non-Jew wishes to convert to Judaism, he or she may do so, but this must be from their own free choice, without coercion.”
Will it make us eligible for holocaust reparations?
“Oy, Vey…. as soon as I became a Jew I started to feel the suffering of my people. I’m a victim and I should be paid for this.”
You’re out of your mind, Rabbi. Study the Torah? You’ll be lucky if every Jew isn’t thrown right the hell out of this country.
They want us to assume the position. We teacher, you student. There, there, little sheep. Now come along.
As they say, when pigs fly and politicians don’t lie.
This one really boiled my blood.
🙁

I sent a friend this article and this was his response:
“Awesome, let’s have Douglas Reed present the Torah!”
🙂

THE “TORAH”,
(PART OF THE LAW AND PROPHETS) WAS WRITTEN TO LEAD THE ISRAELITE TO CHRIST… GAL 3;24.
AND SINCE CHRIST HAS COME IT IS NOW DEEMED A CURSE; GAL;3;12-14
THE ENTIRE “TORAH” WAS WRITTEN BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD FOR HIM …..an example of written “BY HIM”JN 10;34..”Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS ‘? “…
THE “I SAID” IN THIS STATEMENT IS SIGNIFICANT AND PROVES MY POINT.an example of written “for him”Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God… heb 10;7
so there ya have it…………lastly, if you have more questions, here…………http://www.mainstreet-churchofchrist.com/
GOOD MORNIN JILLYBEAN IN AL!
MUAH!!!
“It is the task of the Jewish people to teach and disseminate the Torah of the Noahides to all of mankind,” Rabbi Ginsburgh acknowledged.”
And it is the task of the Gentiles to KILL your Satanic @sses, for trying to shove that Tamudic Noahide laws bullsh#t down our throats.
Like pigs, the only good jew is a dead jew.
BAM BAM!!!
I know I come out with this every now and then, but…
It’s not every single Jew. I think of Bobby Fisher and few others.
Something in me won’t allow a clean sweep.
.
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REAL “JEWS” ARE THE ADOPTION, AND ARE NOW CALLED CHRISTIANS!
AN DO THEIR DEAD LEVEL BEST TO OBEY THE NEW TESTAMENT, , AND THE LAW OF THE LAND,(BOR)
Naturally, any that don’t subscribe to the jew ‘superiority’ complex, and denounce the trash for what they are, and don’t attend a synagogue of Satan, but instead make every effort to reject the jew agenda and refuse to even acknowledge being a jew unless specifically asked (or are denouncing them), then I would have to say that they are possibly salvageable as human beings.
Bobby Fisher, Henry Makow & Brother Nathaniel are three I actually like & respect, galen.
Gliad Atzmon, as well, and a few others from Israel.
True, there are others, DL. As long as they’re anti-EVERYTHING that pertains to being a jew, I have no problem with them.
THE “DIRTY CHURCH” THAT HENRY MENTIONS SOMETIMES—- CAN BE DEFINED BY ITS MEMBERS, WHO WHOLE HEARTEDLY CLAIM TO BE “CHRISTIAN” WHILE AT THE SAME TIME REJECT THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS AND THE APOSTLES.
MOST OF THESE ARE EX-JEWS AND CATHOLICS THAT STILL DON’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT PICK AND CHOOSE VERSES USUALLY OUT OF CONTEXT TO PUSH AN “ALIEN” AGENDA……..AN AGENDA THAT I HAVE CREATED A TERM FOR, CALLED “MANIFEST TYRANNY”…..JUST REMEMBER, THE “STATE” KILLED JESUS. A “RELIGIO/GOVERNMENT” “STATE, THAT BECAME THE BIRTH OF JEWISH ROME AND THE REAL “RISE OF CEASERS” …………………THAT STANDS EVEN TODAY, CALLED, “THE UNITED STATES”..WHICH LEARNED THIS BULLSHIT “DOCTRINE” FROM BABYLON VIA “THE JEWS”. A DOCTRINE THAT IS NOW TAUGHT IN MANY CHURCHES, THAT, WHEN BELIEVED ALLOWS ONLY ONE LAW;”DO AS THOU WILT”,WHICH IS THE SPIRIT OF A DEVIL THAT TURNS ALL MEN AWAY FROM GOD, AND BELIEF IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,TO TYRANNY, AND TO SIN …MEANING THIS; IF YOUR A TYRANT, YOU HAD JUST AS LIKELY BE A PEDOPHILE OR A MURDERER, A SLAVE TRADER OR A HEROIN PUSHER. YOUR LIKELY TO WORK FOR THE STATE DEPT., CIA, FBI, BATF OR SOME OTHER RELIGIO/GOV. ORG.
Actually, the time has come for all true ‘Christian to abandon the church until said church renounces the 501(c)3 clause. That is the welcome sign to the IRS , the so called tax exempt status that churches enjoy today. It is the reason why controversial subjects that make people squirm , like abortion and the fag lifestyle, are no longer Bibically taught. Not only thar, but this satanically inspired 501c3 crap that allows the state to dictate what can and cannot be taught in church…..ALL PASTORS will help the state round up those of their flock that is troublsome. Pastors are required by law to co-pperate with the state in BETRAYING their flock to the sttate…….otherwise, they woll lose their tax status.
Amen. One reason I stopped attending church regularly, and may stop attending altogether even if it pisses off my husband.
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
