ISA45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
ISA45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
ISA45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
ISA45:24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
ISA45:25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Isaiah 45: 21-25

21 Declare and present, let them even take counsel together; who announced this from before, [who] declared it from then? Is it not I, the Lord, and there are no other gods besides Me, a just and saving God there is not besides Me.

22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other.

23 By Myself I swore, righteousness emanated from My mouth, a word, and it shall not be retracted, that to Me shall every knee kneel, every tongue shall swear."

24 But to me did He say by the Lord righteousness and strength, to Him shall come and be ashamed all who are incensed against Him.

25 Through the Lord shall all the seed of Israel find righteousness and boast.

Note that in this Orthodox (Chabad is an offshoot of Orthodox Judaism) Jewish translation of this Jewish Prophet in 45:21, there is no mention of a "Savior." Just: "...there are no other gods besides Me, a just and saving God there is not besides Me." IOW, there is God, and us, and no one else in between. You want salvation, follow God, and ask Him for forgiveness when you stumble in some way (well, Him and any people that you might have adversely affected in the process). That has always been the Jewish position - before Jesus and up to the present day. What I honestly don't understand is how people whose faith is based in (and dependent upon) the Jewish Bible can adhere to beliefs that are directly contrary to those expressed in it.

You (and anyone else) are certainly free to disagree and believe differently. So long as you act in a decent manner toward your fellow human beings, including but most certainly NOT limited to Jews, then how (or if) you pray is not my business. Peace, health, happiness and long life to you and yours.
