"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he who observes Torah, happy is he." - Proverbs 29:18 A pastor was visiting a rabbi friend, when the pastor asked, "What do you believe the world to come is like?" The rabbi responded, "Where the righteous dwell for eternity, one may study Torah all day long, without ever having need to stop for sleeping or eating or anything." The pastor then asked, "And what do you believe hell will be like?" The rabbi responded, "The wicked will have to study Torah all day long, without being able to stop to rest or drink or anything." Messiah is the goal of the Torah's Shabbat (Sabbaths): The goal of the Torah is to show us Maran Yeshua the Messiah -- who alone by his example makes us righteous. The emissary Rabbi Shaul / Paul said, "Messiah is the goal of the Torah, to make righteous everyone that believes" (Romim / Romans 10:4). This was written after Maran Yeshua's death, resurrection, and ascension; it says that the goal of the Torah is (still) Messiah. A famous holy, orthodox rabbi agrees, saying, "The coming of Mashiach is not a peripheral addendum to the Jewish people's service of God through the Torah and its commandments; rather, the coming of Mashiach is its core, the goal to which all else leads. So long as Mashiach...

After studying the Karaite movement, we have determined that it’s primary aim in sharing its theology with Messianic Jews, is to get it to legitimize its authority over them, by attacking orthodox Judaism’s authority on matter of halacha, especially the moedim, and to establish itself as the rightful interpreters and authority on scrip ...

"If the essence of proper hitbodedut is seeking what HaShem wants from us, then improper hitbodedut is the opposite, when one fails to seek HaShem's Will during his hitbodedut. Rather, he prays to HaShem to fulfill his own physical and spiritual desires, and this is contrary to HaShem's Will. He actually asks HaShem to help them do what is co ...

People who do not observe Shabbat think of it as a day filled with stifling restrictions, or as a day of prayer like the Christian Sabbath. But to those who observe Shabbat, it is a precious gift from God, a day of great joy ...
Q: Why is the Torah called The Law? Does it teach legalism? A: The Torah is called The Law simply due to a translation from one language to another. The Tanach was written in Hebrew. The translation goes from the Hebrew word Torah (teaching) to the closest word in the Greek Nomos and then to the English Law. In our Western culture, the word law in ...

At a time where Zionism is defamed and slandered, this article sets out the truth. I am a Zionist. I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late. Had it listened to the alarm clock, there would have been no Holocaust, and my dead grandfather – the one I was named after – would have been ...
