0576 - Shaar Hayichud V'ha'emuna is applicable for Goyim as well

00:01 We all know that the Rebbe spoke many, many times about the obligation that Yidden have to make sure that the Goyim keep their mitzvahs, their Sheva mitzvahs. As it says in the Rambam, that really we have to force them to do it, but that's only obviously when Yad Yisrael Takif et Yom we are able to. But we're not able to, obviously, we have the obligation to do it in a nice way. And even though all the years till lately it was never done, that's because it was not possible. Used to be that if a person would try to convince a Goy to do something of Torah, it was, his life was in danger. But now the Rebbe says that we are able to do it, there is an obligation for us to do it, to see that the Goyim do their Sheva mitzvahs, and they should do it in a way that they're doing it because the Aibishter by Matan Torah said to Moshe Rabbeinu, tell the world, to tell the Goyim that they have to do their mitzvahs. But the Rebbe, so he kochtem them a lot. One of the Sheva mitzvahs is not to do Avodah Zarah, not to worship idols. So I remember once the Rebbe said by Fabregen, it was not so long after the Chelek of Tanya called Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah was translated into English and printed in English. So the Rebbe said by Fabregen that one of the reasons Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah was translated into English so that the

01:21 Goyim should also be able to learn it, to, to, it should be for the Goyim. And he connected it, since one of the mitzvahs of the Goyim is to believe in Hashem, not to believe in Avodah Zarah, so the Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah is also for them, which is interesting because the Goyim, according to many opinions, are obligated not to believe in Avodah Zarah, but they could believe in Shituf. They don't have to believe in Achdus, which means to believe that there's only one God. They have to believe that Hashem, the Aibishter, is on top of everything. But they are allowed to believe that there is another power in the world. And in Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah, where he tries to explain there's nothing but Hashem Ein Od Mevadeh. But the Rebbe said then that Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah is also for Goyim. In other words, that even that included in their mitzvah of not believing in Avodah Zarah is also connected to the sinion of believing in Achdus Hashem. And the truth is, in Likutei Sichos, Chelek Chof Hei, page 192, the Rebbe there says that we have to even teach the Goyim binion of Achdus Hashem, the unity of Hashem, as it's explained in Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah. And then the Rebbe asks the shailah, but the Goy is allowed to believe in Shituf, he just can't believe in Avodah Zarah. So why would we say that it's good to tell the Goyim about the Achdus Hashem? So the Rebbe says that all it means is that

02:39 the Goy is not obligated to believe in the unity of Hashem, that there's only one being and nothing else. But definitely is much better and it helps out a lot, sai for them and sai for them helping the Yidden if they would really have binion of Achdus Hashem. So this fits to what the Rebbe said in that fabregen, that one of the reasons why Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah was translated into English, so that Goyim should also be able to learn Sha'ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah.
