I'm often asked which Jewish translation of the Bible is the best, or most recommended. There are three translations of the Jewish Bible that I recommend to people.

Manufacturing Verses
"and Jesus came and resided in a city called Nazareth that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, 'He shall be called a Nazarene.'" Matthew 2:23 The gist of this proof-text is to support the claim (erroneous at that) of the Messiah hailing from the Galilean city of Nazareth. There are two details of significance here: • There is no requirement found anywhere in Tanach that the Messiah needs to come from Nazareth • The verse Matthew cites appears nowhere in Tanach Christia

Isaiah 53 Explained
Isaiah 53 is the fifty-third chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies spoken by the prophet Isaiah, and is a part of the Book of the Prophets. It is said that the chapter talks about Yeshua Hamoschaich (Jesus), or does it? Let's find out. Question: I was given a book by a friend entitled: Isaiah 53-Explained. It is very confusing and I really don't know who "the Servant" is......It sounds like it IS talking

I Turned Down A Ticket To Heaven
I Turned Down A Ticket To Heaven While attending college, a fellow student offered me a ticket to heaven. All I had to do was “believe in Jesus,” and if not, I would go to hell.

Despite Solomon’s powerful wo

God Is ONE — Not Two or Three
God Is ONE — Not Two or Three During the long years of exile, the Jewish people lost the Land of Israel, the Temple, the priesthood, the Davidic kingship, and sacrifices. We survived despite these temporary losses because we never abandoned the Torah with its moral, legal, and spiritual teachings. The word Torah means more than just “the law” or “Bible.” The root of the word Torah is “horah,” which means “instruction.” As it says, “to instruct [להורת–l’horot] the children of Israel”(Leviticus

The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse
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
