Israeli Missionaries Spread Historic Christian Hate by Rabbi Yisroel Chaim Blumenthal When the Christian Scriptures try to convey the moral teachings of Jesus, they are not satisfied to do just that; convey moral teachings. It is important for those authors to defame the teachers who went before them and they did so with a vengeance.

Sukkot and Simchat Torah The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse The Jewish High Holidays, known as the Days of Awe, constitute a spiritual progression. On Rosh Hashanah, we coronate God as our King, on Yom Kippur, we receive God’s forgiveness; and on Sukkot [the Festival of Booths], we rise to another level. Sukkot is a time to demonstrate our trust in God by moving from the safety of our homes to the temporary and less-secure dwelling known as the sukkah. In this tiny hut with its ro
