I am Natan Shlomo. I am a Torah Educator with Haskamah to teach and to publish works of Jewish theology and Ethics. I am also an AI Artist, Writer, and a Website/Graphic Designer. 

My hobbies  include immersive tabletop board games,  reading/watching science and fiction/fantasy. I also believe physical fitness is very important and I work out every day.

I am a very creative person. My artworks are made using templates that are then edited individually using my own artistic process.  I have  also self published several short stories which I hope to develop further. 

My deepest passion, however, is Judaism. I immerse myself in Torah Learning and Prayer on a daily basis. To this end I have written over 2800 Torah articles on Quora in order to clarify many misconceptions about Judaism's theology and to spread the message that The Creator loves each and every person. The articles have been read by more than 300,00 individuals with over 2.7 million total views. 

I have Haskamah to teach and publish Jewish Theology and Ethics from Rav Dr. Mordechai Goldstein TZL, Founder and Former Rosh Yeshivah of Diaspora Yeshiva since 2015.

I also have permision to teach and publish from Rav Abraham Breinwein TZL, Admor of Streten Hassidim in Jerusalem, Israel since 2013.

I teach and publish on Quora, on this website and via my private chat group. This allows my students to ask me questions about Judaism. I then answer the question by writing an in depth article on each topic I am asked about. This allows me to teach in such a way that the material can be easily understood as well as giving the reader the information needed to fact check from the Torah Sources. 

Originally this project was intended to be through a devoted website but with Rabbi Breinwein's passing in 2013 this project was delayed until 2015. Then the decision was made to use Quora. Later this website was established to answer the most commonly asked topics and direct students to the website.

The original Quora account used was eventually taken down by us in 2019 due to changes in the website format. A new account was created in 2019 that would answer the questions as articles rather than use the chat spaces features or comments. The articles that had been published until that point were re-edited and re-published on the new account.  Over 300,000 unique accounts have viewed the 2800 articles published.

I write in a clear and concise way without using esoteric metaphors. My source material is primarily Derech Hashem by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato for Jewish Theology. For questions about The Messiah I use Mishnei Torah: Laws of Kings and Their Wars. Other primary sources I use for Jewish Ethics are Pirkey Avot and Mesilat Yesharim. 

When necessary I also cite other sources, primarily Rashi and various Midrashim taken from the excellent work Midrash Says by Rabbi  Moshe Weissman. 

Historical  Timeline and Secular Academic sources are used in my Torah articles only to explain the Torah concept or Torah Timeline in simple everyday language, but are not used as proof of the concept. I write from the perspective that the Torah concept is always true because it is Divine in origin. If its description coincides with the recorded timeline or a known scientific principle then that timeline and scientific principle is correct. 

I write from the perspective that The Prophecy of The Prophets of Israel are facts and that the Prophetic Tradition as taught by the Talmudic Sages is true. 

As a general rule I do not answer questions on Jewish Law except where the law is required to discuss a theological or ethical concept. 

I do not make rulings (Posak) of Jewish law for individuals or groups online even where I cite what the law is and its source. I also do not use the title of Rabbi except where absolutely needed to show my Torah qualifications on an online profile format. The reason for this is that I believe that the use of the title Rabbi is an awesome responsibility.  I choose to be a Rabbi only when writing Torah articles that can be fact checked. When it comes to ruling on Jewish law I choose to leave that to others who specialize in Jewish Law (Halacha). I specialize in Theology and Ethics (Agadata). 

My beliefs are rooted in Classical Orthodox Judaism which is a form of Absolute Monotheism. The Compendium of Jewish Theology is known as Derech Hashem and was compiled by Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. It is universally accepted by Orthodox Jews.

I believe that morality is absolute and rooted in the Divine Laws regulating actions. These are the 613 commandments for Jews and the 7 universal laws within those 613 given to all people. 

I believe that which is forbidden under Divine law is always wrong, that which is commanded to do is always right, and that which is neither forbidden or commanded is fine to do given that one does it in an ethical way, meaning with the atributes listed below.

These atributes are Faith In The God of Israel, Belief in Prophecy as taught by the Orthodox Rabbinical Tradition, Humility, Kindness, Self Control, Balanced Lifestyle, Patience, Courage, and the ability to know when to act and when to restrain oneself.

I am an Orthodox Jew. I can be considered Dati Leumi. The term is Religious Zionist. 

For Clarification:

I am NOT affiliated with Chabad, Kahanism, The Kabbalah Center, Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism, or any non-Jewish religious or political organization.

I do not have any interest in politics or leading any activist groups. I am happy teaching Torah, publishing AI Art, writing fiction, and helping others as I can.

I believe the Land of Israel is Divinely Promised to The Jewish people and as such all Jews should live in Israel. I believe that those people that live within the boundaries of The State of Israel should all be under the same laws administered in the same way.
