How does Judaism contrast with Christianity regarding prophesy of 30 pieces of silver?

Personally, I think the 20 pieces of silver in Joseph's story in Genesis would've made more sense as a Jesussianic prophecy. Closer to thirty and has to do with selling out someone...
If there were ever an RF get-together we could play a make-up-a-Jesus-prophecy game. After each round we select the funniest/best and the winner gets a point. At the end the one with the most points gets cake.

2 pages to go from, '30 pieces of silver' to 'Free cake'.

I think we need our own thread bros.

No idea what the is, but works for me.
Rugalach? But bigger. Green's is in NY. We get them here frozen. But it's my go to for dinner parties and such.

There's a famous Seinfeld episode about the Chocolate Babkah. Jerry gets the "black and white" cookie. It's classic.

Oh yeah, great cake. Forgot what it's called in Hebrew, though. Pretty sure it's not called Babkah here in Israel (though rugalach will always be rugalach).
Edit: usually referred to as Ugat Shmarim in Israel.

The 30 pieces of silver in Zechariah 11:12 was $7.50 paid in quarters. It was paid by the publicizers (the local newspaper) to Adam and was published in early 1984. This was the biggest prophecy in the Bible, and the Messiah was publicly humiliated. Members of Adam's fraternity cast the money on the steps ay Beth El Temple. Adam and two of his fraternity brothers committed suicide by hanging. The fraternity was ATO, Alpha Tau Omega.

Alright well this makes no sense but at least we have a 30 pieces verse.

It's a start.

Looking at the context of Zechariah 11, I'm not seeing any bearing on what the NT says.

Matt:26:13-15,

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

No mention of a fulfilled prophecy.
