    The Importance of Correct/Accurate Terminology in Discussing Torah/Yahaduth

    I plan on making this into a reference thread. That way I don't have to repeat the same information or better yet allow me to refer others to this. The first point I would like to make is about the English term "Hebrew" and how it can be confused some incorrect "westernized" concepts. There was...

    A Powerful Picture

    The bull goes to its goal. And the goal is the cross. It is very crazy that the first letter and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet are the bull and the cross. Is the language really man-made, but how can a man create something so complex over these many thousands of years? I mean, the Gospel is...

    Creative Re'em identification

    As some of you may know, I'm in the middle of reading a truly fascinating book called Barzilai by R' Ahron Marcus, about the origins and psychology of the Hebrew language. The book is a Hebrew translation of the original German, translated and edited by one of his grandchildren, Yosef Marcus...

    Answering Tzarah's Question about Hebrew text of Yoel 4:1

    This is a carry over from another thread where the question was asked by @Tzarah about a) the difference between the Hebrew text and the KJV bible and b) how a Torath Mosheh Jew who reads Hebrew reads the Hebrew text. The video below was created to answer both of these questions. Note: The...
