Disclaimer: We are not the Jewish Church. The standard teaching of the Christian Church is that the Torah is no longer applicable for believers in our Rabbi Yeshua. Ma’asei HaShlichim / Acts 15 is often the text used to substantiate this claim. Ma’asei HaShlichim 15:19-22 "Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Nations are turned to God: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moshe of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Shabbat day. How many commandments do you find in here? Would you be surprised that there are six? Just about every one says there is four, but if you look carefully, the fifth & sixth command are to go to Synagogue — every [...]

It depends on who Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua is! The Good News presents him as the Jewish Messiah (Yochanan 1:41,45, 49). If he’s not the Jewish Messiah, then no one should believe in Him because His credentials as “Savior of the World” are based on His credentials as the “Messiah of Israel”. If he is the true Messiah ...

One of the major tenets in the thirteen articles of Jewish faith that Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon (Maimonides) wrote is the belief and affirmation that the Mashiach (Messiah) would come. The Mashiach is always been the hope of Israel for generations past to the present, for as we know that even Father Avraham saw His coming and rejoice in that fact, as ...

The command to observe the Shabbat is almost always prefaced by the statement, “you shall do your work for six days etc.” Why the need for this prologue related to the regular week? Why doesn’t the Torah just tell us about the actual day of Shabbat? One possible reason is that the Torah is making clear that it is an obligation to ...
