The Septuagint: A Jewish Translation, Not a Christian Construct On December 7, 2025, at the Heichal Shlomo Jewish Heritage Center in Jerusalem, Rabbi Tovia Singer—widely known for his role in contemporary Jewish anti-missionary apologetics—participated in a public debate with a Christian pastor from Australia. As expected, the discussion centered on whether Jesus of Nazareth fulfills the messianic expectations of the Hebrew Bible. As the exchange progressed, particular attent

One of the most insidious features of contemporary antisemitism is not its volume, but its disguise. In the modern West, hostility toward Jews rarely presents itself openly. Instead, it is often reframed through the language of politics, ethics, and “foreign policy critique,” with the term Zionist functioning as a proxy for Jew . This rhetorical substitution is not incidental. It operates as a form of gaslighting: denying Jews the ability to accurately name the hostility dir

The USS Liberty Incident: History, Context, and Misuse in Contemporary Antisemitic Rhetoric In recent years, the tragic 1967 attack on the USS Liberty has been increasingly invoked by antisemitic commentators and conspiracy-driven influencers as purported evidence that Israel is fundamentally hostile to the United States. This claim is not only historically inaccurate but represents a deliberate misuse of a complex wartime incident to advance ideological hostility toward Je

“Most of the slanders upon the Talmud may well be labelled “Made in Germany.” Talmudic Forgeries, a Case Study in the Anti-Jewish Propaganda by Ben Zion Bokser, 1939 For centuries, the Talmud has been the target of relentless attacks by those seeking to malign Judaism and incite hatred against the Jewish people. A central tactic in this campaign has been the dissemination of falsehoods about the Talmud’s content—deliberate distortions designed to portray Jews as immoral, dece

The Feast of Dedication Hanukkah (sometimes spelled Chanukah) was also known historically as the “Feast of Dedication”. Every year between the end of November and the end of December, Jewish people around the world celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah / Chanukah. Chanukah literally means dedication and is often referred to as the Festival of Lights in reference to the miracle of he light that lasted eight days. The festival begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month Kislev but t

Does the Name of the Messiah Matter? HaShem thought it did: “She will give birth to a son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 One might ask, “But I thought his name was Jesus?” It might surprise the reader to know that the name “jesus” has (literally) only existed in human language for less than 400 years. It was created in 1632 CE. Prior to that date, not a single person knew the name “jesus” nor did they call upon

Paul was a heretic and a false Apostle. His Gospel was diametrically different to that of the 12 true Apostles and even the Messiah. Yeshua taught fidelity to Torah Judaism and Paul taught that the Torah was a burden; a bondage to be cast aside in favor of “free” grace. No one, being intellectually honest, could read the Tanak and the Gospel and then conclude that Paul writes in concert with their truths. This is a simple and undeniable fact. One of the single most common poi

One of the most common objections to Paul being a heretic, offered by his followers, is that he was willing to die for his faith. His suffering is thought to be a debate ending proof of the validity of his message. However, is this really a solid argument? Does being a martyr or the willingness to be a martyr necessarily mean that the message or beliefs held by the individual are true? Of course, the clear answer is no. A second and related objection might be that one would n

“But you are not to be called rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.” Matthew 23:8 TLV A common objection, typically presented by those among the Hebrew Roots movement, is that Yeshua forbade His followers from using the title “Rabbi”. The scriptural source for this concept is Matthew 23:8 cited above. However, in truth this is just a pretext for the real underlying issue which is antisemitism. How can one be sure that this is the case? Well, because verses

After more than twenty-five years of ministry, I have come to two startling realizations. First, one cannot live a truly Torah observant life, like the Messiah, while adhering to the teaching of Paul. Torah and Paul are incompatible. Secondly, Paul was a false apostle; a quintessential cult leader. His message was not Biblical and, perhaps more importantly, not the same as the historic Messiah nor His Talmidim. That fact is established with clarity from Paul’s own words and i

“Yeshua spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me will no longer walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 When understood in its Torah Judaism context, this statement is cosmically profound. Yeshua declares that He is “the light of the world”. What is He actually saying? What does it mean to be the light of the world? What precisely is the “light of the world”? Once one answers these important questions, the essence

The Jewish Bible “O how I love Your Torah! It is my meditation all day.” Psalm 119:97 What Bible do Jews use? This is a remarkably common question. Another common question is where can I get the Torah? In this article we are going to define the Torah and discover the Jewish Bible which was also the Bible of Yeshua the Messiah. The Jewish Bible is the Tanakh which is an acronym for Torah , Nevi’im and Ketuvim . This is equivalent to what Christians refer to as the “Old Testam

A torah (Hebrew scripture) reading. The “yod” – a hand-shaped silver pointer – is used by the reader to mark his or her place in the text. Is the Torah too hard? That is a common objection to living a Torah-true life. Many people believe that living by the Law is either too difficult or even impossible. It has been taught in theological circles that it is beyond man’s capability to live according to the Law but is that really true? Is it impossible for man to abide by the Law

Paul fashioned a Christ of his own, a church of his own, and a system of belief of his own; and because there were many mythological and Gnostic elements in his theology…he won the heathen world to his belief…. These are the elements of Paul’s theology—a system of belief which endeavored to unite all men, but at the expense of sound reason and common sense. I have chosen to share this excellent article from the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia because it presents an accurate and scho

The anthem of all cult leaders is that they claim to have received a unique, special and Divine revelation for which they, and they alone, were chosen to bestow upon mankind. As a result, their words are not only Holy writ but they are essentially super-scripture. Their teachings are thought to supersede scripture in the sense that one must interrupt scripture through the lens or prism of their musings. To fail to do so is tantamount to heresy; to having been “bewitched” by d

“One who acts with compassion when firmness is called for will eventually act with cruelty when compassion is needed.” Kohelet Rabbah 7:33 The word for kindness in Hebrew is chesed (חסד). The word for mercy or compassion is rachamim (רחמים). Interestingly, the word for womb in Hebrew is rechem (רחם) and it is related to the word for mercy. Indeed, the place of the womb is a sanctuary compassion, mercy and kindness. All of these are highly valued character traits in Judaism.
