Trivia-70 blessings to the winner

[Flavius]

I have found that if Yeshuah did something in the Renewed Covenant that you can find it's counter part in the Old Testament.

Everything he said was for a reason and usually refers to the law and the Prophets.

The Beatitudes for instance can be found in Psalms.

70 blessings to the first person who replies and points out where they find the Parrable of the Prodicle son in the Old Testament.

King Hezekiah's son Menasah

Many of Y'shua's parables did not come from the 'old testament' but mainly from previous rabbinical sources.


shalom,

That's so true. A while back when I was trying to explain that to my mom, she just refused to believe it. She said that the Jews were jealous of Jesus' teachings and so claimed many of them for themselves, falsely attributing them to their own sages. :sigh:

Which Cohen? ;) There's so many, it's a popular Jewish name.

Often in ignorance, people will choose to believe what they will and close their eyes to the rest.

Which Cohen? ;) There's so many, it's a popular Jewish name.I would assume he's referring to Everyman's Talmud by Abraham Cohen.

This is a great book for an someone just beginning to learn Talmud.

Speaking of books, Yafet (or anyone else), have you read "Opening the Tanya" by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz? I've been reading it and find it captivating but, as I am a such a novice, I'd love to get a review from someone more knowledgeable.

Shalom!!!

Yup that's what I have,just recently I found out that there is better ways to read the Talmud in english, just havn't obtained it yet

[simchat_torah]

I own a copy of Everyman's Talmud, its an excellent read.

No, I haven't... but I'll definately look it up on amazon.

thanks for the reccomendation.

[Hix]

I own Everymans Talmud, its a highly recommended read, I think it was my first ever book on the Talmud and it was a great intro. Might I also recommend "Aspects of Rabbinic theology" by Rabbi Solomon Shechter? Its an old book but its very detailed and is as you might expect heavily reliant on the Talmud.

Shalom and G-d bless
