The following is presented as a public service to those Christians who want to make sure that Jews never give Yeshua/Jesus a second thought. Make sure that large numbers of anti-Semites use the Christian faith, the Christian Savior, and the Christian Bible as a justification for their actions. Make sure Jesus is always represented as […]
On the third day in Moscow, we convered many subjects relating to Torah/Holy Instruction and Avodah/Jewish Prayer, as well as G'milut Hasadim [Deeds of Lovingkiness], and Ritual Life. These are four panels of our Cube of Messianic Jewish Spirituality, which I taught on earlier in the week, and which constituted the integrating center of our course. […]
The day of teaching went well, and I added to the curriculum the following material about the world's largest Messianic Jewish congregation, the one led by Ya'akov, Yeshua's brother.

I am defending the position that the Shabbat is uniquely the possession of the Jewish people and a covenant sign between them and God. Further, I think it disrespectful for people to ignore this. I am […]
In this week's Torah reading, we get some advice that seems obvious, but is seldom followed. The Bible gives us ample reason to realize that our lives would definitely go better if we will would just take this advice. The problem is, we think that just knowing something is enough. WRONG! Yeshua said, "If you […]
It was about 40 years ago that I realized something which has become more apparent to me with the passing of the years.
