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...
I had a test today about Jewish history in the modern era. One part of the test included analyzing one of two texts. I picked the second one which consisted of two letters written by a Jewish woman named Rivka Samuel who apparently moved from England to America some time circa the Revolution...
Revelation 3:9, NIV: I will make those who are of the synagogue of satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
John 5:43: I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not accept Me; but if...

2. A is hated because it has written Holy Bible.
3. B is hated, because it has defended A from Hitler, and defends Eastern Orthodox Church.
In order to answer this question, the first consideration would be "What is halakha?" The hebrew term (הלכה) comes from the Hebrew root (ה-ל-ך) meaning "walking; moving towards a goal." Thus, halakha is defined as the process of practice, tradition, rulings, etc. that relates to how Torath...
In another thread the question was asked about Judaism's concept of "messiah." In this thread I will only be presenting what Torath Mosheh sources state on the matter of a future Dadivic king/leader who is espected to lead according to Torath Mosheh.

I thought the creation of Israel was due to the Holocaust and the Jews having somewhere safe to live but the Jews started moving to Palestine in 1882 .
I know there was a partition plan in 1920 to seperate Jordan from Palestine and then further partition under the Peel proposal. Why did the...

'At yesterday’s event, a man leading chanting through a megaphone asked the crowd: “We know who is behind this whole ‘plandemic’ and who rules the world, right?” In response, someone shouted “Jews”, and the man replied, “Of course it’s the Jews”.
The crowd then chanted together: “Every Pole can...
In his family tree there are of course also Jews, but Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba are not Jews but nevertheless appear in the family tree of Jesus, so Jesus was actually also a Gentile. What does it mean to be a Jew anyway? According to the OT, one can become a Jew by converting. Do ethnic Jews...
