    "A" Torath Mosheh View of Human Suffering and Responsibility

    In another thread, well as a question I once answered on Quara, series fo questions were asked which I will summarize in the following way. Why would a serial killer be allowed to abuse and murder a dozen innocent children over the course of his lifetime? Is what ever created everything...

    Why did the Jews move to Israel/Palestine in 1882 ?

    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...

    Did the Pharisees know what they were talking about?

    I saw today something interesting. One of the greatest academic Talmud scholars of the last century was Prof. Yaakov Nachum Epstein. In his book "Introductions to the Tannaitic Literature", pg. 280-281, he discusses shortly the laws of Shabbat as described in the gospels. He lists them and then...

    Judaism DIR Just some questions for you guys. Would be happy to hear your views. Feel free to answer all, some or none. :cool: 1. Why is Judaism important to you (I am assuming, of course, that you would not identify as a member of this DIR if it was not important to you)? 2. Do you think...

    There is no Judaism vs. Christianity - There is Judaism and there is Christianity

    In reality there is no Judaism vs. Christianity. As far as Jews/Torath Mosheh/Judaism are concerned Christians can beleive whatever they want, how they want, etc. Most Torah based Jews are not trying to convince Christians to change their religion, adjust their religion, or even to accept Jewish...

    What's the biggest threat to the Jewish people today?

    Judaism DIR I've been wondering about this for a while now. Some people used to say Christianity with its missionaries, inquisitors and antisemitic decrees. There are still organizations today who work to fight off Christianity from influencing and turning away Jews from Judaism. Others might...

    Was Jesus really a Jewish rabbi?

    In more recent times, I see more and more Christians claiming that not only was Jesus a learned scholar, but he was actually a rabbi. This is evidenced, in their view, from the fact that he's called "rabbi" by some in the NT. In Judaism, though, this is not a feasible view. Not because there's...

    Can a Jew answer this?

    [Mt 22:41-46] And when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, David's. He saith unto them: How then doth David call him Lord in spirit, when he saith, " The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right...

    Is according to Jews everything God's will?

    When David killed righteous Uriah, was it God's will? When Israel forsook their God, was it God's will? When a person sins, is it God's will? Is everything God's will, or is there also coincidence?

    Was Alexander Hamilton Jewish?

    Judaism DIR Nice video. I'd heard of the notion in the past, but I like how it was presented in the video. So, what do you think? Just BTW, on the halachic side, if I remember correctly, though his mother didn't divorce her first husband and Hamilton's dad wasn't Jewish, he isn't a mamzer.

    Top 9 Biggest Fears of Orthodox Jews

    1. Fleishikophobia - The fear of being fleishik (and potentially missing out on an improbable and completely hypothetical milk-based dessert, should it just happen to pop out of thin air). The most serious of Jews, the S'fard Ashkenazim, who keep six full hours of waiting time between eating...

    Why don't Jews and Muslims eat pork ?

    If Zoonotic diseases come from being in close proximity to animals and not being evolved enough to eat them then did pigs cause disease in the Middle East thousands of years ago ? Is that the reason Jews and Muslims don't eat pork ? If that's the case then we've evolved enough to eat pork for at...

    There have been several threads recently where questons have come up as to: Why do Torah based Jews not accept Chrisitian scriptual interpretation? Why do Torah based Jews not Jesus as a/the Messiah? Why is there a divide between "Judaism" and "Christianity?" It is hope that in this post these...

    Is the Christian God the same as the Jewish God?

    While I was raised knowing that the spread of Christianity helped popularize the notion of Monotheism, more recently I've wondered whether the Christian God is the same as the Jewish God. Setting aside the question of whether or not the Christian deity has a triune nature or if Jesus is god - if...
