Thank you for a very clear outline. Interesting stuff.
Strange article.
The primary source of religious learning for Jews is not the “Torah.” Most do not read them. The primary source of learning is the Talmud, which are the teachings of the Rabbis, which are quite odious as you would expect from the descendants of the Pharisees.
I suspect there is a scam inherent in this article. It being, “we believe the same thing Christians believe, but just the Old Testament.”
This is not true by any stretch of the imagination.
That simply means it exists today outside of its place and time in history. Christianity is not at odds with Judaism; it is the fulfillment of Judaism.
I thought you only come out at night? Oh, just mostly....
Appreciate the post.
XIII. The Torah is from God.
This belief does not necessarily mean that God dictated each word of the Torah. Nor does it mean that only a literal reading of the Torah is valid. It means that the Torah ultimately comes from God, not men.
This is what I call built in wiggle room. The Torah is meaningless if it is not God’s word to the last letter. Indeed the format of the Torah and rules regarding copying suggest that it is.
What is this symbol derived from, and what is its meaning?
But it is nighttime. Well, it’s 5:53am.

GPH is correct.
AC - you need to note that we talk of at least 2 different kinds of Judaism
2nd temple Judaism - the Judaism of Jesus’ time, centered around the 2nd temple. This had sects such as Sadduccees, Pharisees, Zealots, Essenes and after 30 AD, the Jesus-followers
Modern day Judaism - which is overwhelming the descendents of the Pharisees as changed by Rabbi Ben Zakkai, who after the destruction of the 2nd temple in 69 AD changed the beliefs to keep the religion alive even though the temple was gone
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (1 John 2:22,23)
Dennis Prager does not have God. Jesus is God. He denies the Son. He does not have the Father.
Most of us Jews don’t read the Torah? Assail Jews and Judaism all you want, but with statements like that, most of us Yids will sit back and laugh at your idiocy.
Those are Kabbalistic interpretations of a symbol that predates Kabbalah by millenia.
I've read that approximately half of American Jews describe themselves as atheists.If,by chance,this is true that would certainly explain the likes of Nadler and Schumer.
I’d imagine that he has no idea what the Torah is.
The one feature that People of The Way and adherents of Judaism share is total irrevocable commitment to the One God, Yhvh Elohim, and His Inspired Word, the Tanach.
I too believe that The God speaks to His people through His Will/Covenant/Testament, inscripturated by the prophets of old, and that it is unchangeable, as He Is.
But no one needs to become a Jew to be saved.

What a doozy of a final sentence without explanation.
He forgot to mention the little detail about Judaism’s messiah.
