Who Owns Judaism?

Why the Desert Was the Most Suitable Space for Torah? The Desert This week's Torah portion, named "Bamidbar," which means "in the desert," is always read preceding the holiday of Shavuos, when we celebrate the giving of the Torah at Sinai, more than 3,300 years ago, in the year 1313 BCE (1). One reason for this is because the Torah was given "bamidbar," in a desert. It was at Mt. Sinai in the Sinai desert where the Hebrews were molded into a nation and given the blueprint for repairing the wo

Matzah Scam Rocks Israel

Growing up in New York in the ‘50s I was naïve to scam artists. We knew to respect our parents and be helpful to our neighbors. The police were heroes we looked up to. At the same time we also knew that some things were sacred. I remember my mother preparing me a special lunch to take to public school during the week of Passover. Since the bible instructed Jews to refrain from all leaven for 8 days, we switched from cake and bread to matzah, the unleavened bread eaten by our ancestors when Mose

Imitating God: The basis of Jewish Morality

This article was written by Joseph B. Soloveichik. We find out about the basis of Jewish morality. Some modern scholars claim that Judaism has no binding dogmas and that it is concerned solely with deeds. They regard Judaism as a purely rational and this-worldly faith which is unencumbered by a complex theology and is primarily humanistic in its purpose. This understanding, however, is simplistic and erroneous. We do have principles of Jewish faith, ikkare hayahadut, which are implicit in the

Was Jesus Truly The Creator? Full Explanations You Need To Consider

Continued from Part 11 Nevertheless, Barnes believes that Jesus is himself the uncreated and eternal Creator. However, he does not base his belief on Revelation 3:14. Of this verse he says: If it were demonstrated from other sources that Christ was, in fact, a created being, and the first that God had made, it cannot be denied that this language would appropriately express that fact. But it cannot be made out from the mere use of the language here; and as the language is susceptible of othe

Age of the Universe

by Dr. Gerald Schroeder According to a possible reading of ancient commentators' description of God and nature, the world may be simultaneously young and old. One of the most obvious perceived contradictions between Torah and science is the age of the universe. Is it billions of years old, like scientific data, or is it thousands of years, like Biblical data? When we add up the generations of the Bible, we come to 5700-plus years. Whereas, data from the Hubble telescope or from the land based

THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT “SOFT-SELL” EVANGELISM

When it comes to salesmanship – which is essentially what evangelism is all about – the “soft-sell” is still a sales pitch. It seeks to disarm us by short-circuiting our natural defensive instincts, and deliberately takes advantage of our popularly held stereotypes about how missionaries work and what they look like. We assume that if someone isn’t carrying a large Bible and preaching endlessly about Jesus and the need to be saved, then that person really isn’t interested in converting us. Takin

Unmasking Jews for Jesus

Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews claim that what they’re doing is 100% Jewish... the most Jewish thing anyone can do. However, calling it Jewish doesn’t make it Jewish. “How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four! Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” ~Abraham Lincoln Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are following Evangelical Protestant Christianity. Their beliefs are not Jewish and have no relation to Judaism. On every basic issue of theology, Jews for Jesus and
