Had I read the first comment and thought to just skip over this show I would’ve been missing out on a beautiful teaching and conversation. I learned more again. Every time I listen to an authenticJewish Rabbi as Tovia Singer and others I learn 🎉 I say to the Christian, Muslim, or non religious person keep learning from those who point toward the Tanach (which includes Torah) and now I can also say AND the oral Torah and Talmud ❤ this was an awesome teaching! Thank you to the host and Tovia Singer.

I have a friend who thinks that your knowledge of Christianity rivals that of most Christians and scholars but I disagree. Rabbi's knowledge and understanding of Christianity SURPASSES anything I have EVER heard in my former Christian life. Kudos to you for your study, hard work, patience and dedication. I used to be a Christian JUST LIKE the ones you detest, until you saved me, sir. So thank you for your mercy and continued efforts.

Deuteronomy 4:2 2 You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHVH your God which I command you.

Please to all Christians examine your claims. You have a criminally awful translation of another nations religion and your trying to argue the text of the tanakh which is in Hebrew by the way using your mistranslation. I was that imbecile once. Except your humility that you were lied to and move forward with the Creator.

It’s really hard to believe in something that we are not used to. The sad part is that we have been lied for generations and to believe in something else its impossible. This is what you know all your life. And suddenly you can’t imagine anything else. We have been brainwashed. People where forced to believe or to die. Im sorry if anyone get offended. No offense.

This is a question I had to deal with many years ago when I left Catholicism to become a practicing, professing Righteous Gentile. When asked if I think the Oral Torah is superior to the Written Torah (which is a stance I only see from people who are willing to at least agree that the Oral Torah is necessary to understanding the Written Torah), I give a quizzical look and ask what they mean. My goal is to convince them that the Oral Torah and the Written Torah are the same thing, and integral to understanding the Word of God, which is what the Oral and Written Torah (together) are.

As a Muslim I would ask such a question I think it is a relevant question

Thank you for being so understanding to those of us who are gradually moving away from the lies of Christianity.

on a side note, best version of Adon Olam that I know of :)

For some reason i was not convinced by this video conversation your argument for the Talmud seemed a bit weak.

I think there is a simpler reason. in order to justify Paul's cursing of the law and the Christian view that it is impossible to keep the Law, you have to deny the Oral Torah.

Good day sir. May I respectfully comment that your "Isaiah is adding to the Law" illustration is a fallacy. The book of Isaiah is divinely inspired, does not contradict to the Torah and rebukes the nation Israel for not following the written laws. It shouldnt be compared to man made traditions like the "oral law"

What exactly is ADDING to the Torah? I can understand how the Halakhah/requirement of wearing Tefillin for reciting the Shema is not adding. Yet the arbitrary requirement to recite 2 Benedictions before and 1 after does indeed seem like it is ADDING to the Torah.

He just lied...he said, "Jesus never criticized the Pharisees for having an oral Torah"...Jesus never used the term "oral Torah", but neither does anyone else in the entire bible, I guess it was a well kept secret. But Jesus did criticize the Pharisees for following the traditions of men over the word of God repeatedly. Mark 7:8 King James Bible For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Jesus repeatedly chastised the religious Jews for appearing to be religious but inwardly being filled with dead men's bones.

Like the new guy. You look good Rabbi Singer, well rested, refreshed. B"H This was GREAT!!!

I understand rabbi.

@Tovia Singer, I appreciate you and I appreciate your obvious skills, your great abilities, and your excellent talents. You have a kind and gentle demeanor. . I am Jewish by birth, I was circumcised on the eighth day, and I made Bar Mitzvah at the age of twelve. Thankfully, I began to honor the Written Torah of Moses, and to deny the Talmud, as a result of education and various life choices. . [ Note, I am not a Karaite, nor am I any type of Christian/Messianic. ] . Please HEAR and CONSIDER the following statement; "The Talmud and the gross corruption thereof, will not be present in the Messianic age." . Some of the Talmud's Corruption: * the entire festival of Rosh HaShanah and every aspect thereof, is not present in the Written Torah of Moses, * the prohibition against putting milk and meat onto the same plate, is not present in the Written Torah of Moses, * the prohibition against simultaneously consuming milk and meat, is not present in the Written Torah of Moses, * the prohibition against wearing blue threads on the fringes (i.e., tzit tzit), is not present in the Written Torah of Moses, * the entire practice of Kabbalah (i.e., WICKED, PAGAN IDOLATRY), is clearly forbidden in the Written Torah of Moses, * the prohibition against speaking our Mighty One's name, is not present in the Written Torah of Moses, * the substitution of various pagan terms for our Mighty One's name (i.e., "L-RD", "LORD", "GOD", "G-D", "HaSHEM", "ADONAI", "Yeh-HoVah"), is clearly forbidden in the Written Torah of Moses, . [ The terms "LORD" and "L-RD" are direct translations of "Ba'al." The terms "GOD" and "G-D" are actually the name of a Germanic deity, specifically "GOTT." The term "Adonai" is a meaningless generality, UNLESS it is connected to a particular subject's specific name. The term "Elohim" is also a meaningless generality, UNLESS it is connected to a particular Mighty One's specific name. As such, the term "Adonai Elohim" is also a meaningless generality, UNLESS it is connected to a particular Mighty One''s specific name. The term "Yeh-HoVah" literally means "Some false god named "Yeh" is ruin and mischief." ] . * etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

I understand the concept of the oral law and the necessity for it. However I read 'Shemirath Shabbath: A practical guide to the observance of Shabbath’ by Yehoshua Yeshaya Neuwirth, which, I understand, is viewed by many Jewish Scholars as the authoratative compendium of the laws concerning the Sabbath. However, compared to the actual Word of God they really seem restrictive and, indeed, prohibitive,. This is what was written in the guide: "Cooking in most forms (boiling, roasting, baking, frying, etc.) is forbidden on the Sabbath, especially when the temperature is raised above 115 degrees. If the hot water tap is accidentally left on, it cannot be turned off on the Sabbath. Escaping gas may be turned off, but not in the normal way. One must turn off the tap of a gas burner with the back of the hand or the elbow. One cannot squeeze a lemon into a glass of iced tea, but you can squeeze a lemon onto a piece of fish. Since Exodus 34:3 teaches that one cannot light a fire on the Sabbath, it is also wrong to turn on electric lights. If you need to turn on the lights, you can get an automatic timer which will do the job for you. So too, an air conditioner cannot be turned on by a Jew on the Sabbath, although a Gentile can turn it on as long as a Jew does not explicitly ask him to turn it on. You cannot bathe with a bar of soap on the Sabbath, but you can use liquid soap. If someone is walking on the Sabbath, and discovers that they are carrying something in their pocket that they forgot was in there, they have to stop carrying it immediately. But at the same time, since Jews are not allowed to lift anything on the Sabbath, a person is not allowed to simply take the item out of their pocket. In order to get it out, he has to reverse his pocket so the item falls out. And then he must leave it there. If the item is valuable, and he does not wish to leave it on the ground, he can ask a Gentile to watch it for him. Or, if you must take the item with you, you can carry it, but not in the usual way. You can put it in your shoe, or tie it to your leg-as long as you do not tie a knot-or somehow suspend it between your clothing and your body." I honestly cannot understand why such elaborate procedures are deemed necessary under what presumably is 'oral law'. Jason, is it possible to ask Rabbi Singer to explain? Many thanks.

Thank you for this Rabbi, it is a topic I am now understanding. After reading the book of Nehemiah, I have a greater appreciation for the Hebrew language, preservation of the word of G-d and Jewish culture and tradition. You talk about some very key points that were so accurate and have so much merit. Thank you once again.

Tovia Singer ! God Blessssssss The JEWISH Brothers Whos Are Following Torah. Quran 7-159 >>And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice. 7-170 >>Those (Jews) who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer - indeed, I will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers. Quran 7-159 >>And when I raised the mountain above them (Jews) as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, and God said, "Take what I have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear God.

The question is regarding the Talmud - It is commentary and to accommodate explanation based on conceptual issues. The Tenak (books of prophets) is inspired and permitted by HaShem. The oral torah fills in vowels to understand Hebrew. The Torah (books of Moses and finished by Joshua) was to Never Be Added to or Changed. Specific/ direct answer would have been better than several “oh by the way” story examples that go way off point! Throwing many/ variety of examples to see what sticks is tiresome!

Excellent show, Jason! (Dev Schlussel)

Ecclesiastes 12:13 ¶ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

the entire Tanakh was canonized by men of the great assembly using Talmudic laws.

What a great conversation ! Great work gentlemen- Thank you.

So what I got is, everyone adds to the Torah. Really it shows. Islam - Additional content added by a warlord, thus it promotes violence and conquest. Judaism - Additional content added by the ruling class (sages), thus it promotes a superiority complex. Christianity - Additional content added by a worker who was a rebel, thus it elevates the average man and is anti-authoritarian (at least in regards to man).

Excellent video

I LOVE JEWISH --- BROTHERSSSSSSSSSSSSS WE ARE WORSHIPPING ---- ONE GOD. Quran 2-163 >>And your god is one God. There is no deity except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

"Torah: And God said to Moses,... Prophets: Thus saith the Lord,... Talmud: Rabbi so-and-so says this, but rabbi so-and-so disagrees and says that, and then another rabbi disagrees and says this,..." - N. Gordon Is the Talmud really the Word of God? Or words of mere men?

Where can I call in to this live?

Thanks ❤

Did he answer the question or NOT?!!!

Only when.placed on a bookshelf.

Talmud has Jewish people begin the year with the 7th month... Torah says it begins the 1st month. Talmud says days begin with evening but Torah says days begin with dawn ... These traditions that come from Talmud cause people to break God's commandments. Placing Talmud or any writings above Torah will cause you to error.

The obvious one question you don't answer is how do we know which of the 2 competing oral traditions, ours or the Karaaites, is the correct one? How do we prove it?

The tanakh were the words of prophets while the talmud is the words of men. When you open the Talmud is this not what you see? That so and so Rabbi said such and such? Allah said (ٱتَّخَذُوۤا۟ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَـٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابࣰا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِیحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡیَمَ وَمَاۤ أُمِرُوۤا۟ إِلَّا لِیَعۡبُدُوۤا۟ إِلَـٰهࣰا وَ ٰ⁠حِدࣰاۖ لَّاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا یُشۡرِكُونَ) They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)." [Surah At-Tawbah 31] That does not mean every single thing in the Talmud is false. It's just mixed and we can not tell what is true or not except with a prophet.

I am an atheist, but I tried to read all I could get about all big religions, so I have a pretty big collection of religious literature (official) about Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judeism. I have read commentaries of leading Muslim scholars about Islam, leading Jewish scholars about Judeism. I have Kur'an and all hadiths, Tora (the real one, not so-called "oral" meaning Talmud), and Babilonian Talmud and Jewish Encyclopedia. Since the topic here is the importance of (Babilonian) Talmud vs. importance of Tora I can say that every time Jewish scholars sincerely talk about it they say that Talmud is where the real laws lay. It is Talmud where the most important Jewish scholars from the past tried to interpret the rules every Jew hast to stick to. It is as comprehensive as Qur'an and the Hadiths together and I found a lot of similarities between Judeism and Islam reading Talmud. I would recommend all non-Jews to read Talmud (they consider it "oral Tora").

Some people can ask the question because they listen to a Rabbi tell them that if a nonjew studies and keeps Torah that they will be blessed. Only to hear another Rabbi state that if they do they are guilty of theft. Then they find a passage in theTalmud that states that any nonjew that keeps the Torah and the Sabbath that they deserve death

Your make alot of sense

I agree with that verse (of course): "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHVH your God which I command you." THAT MEANS: - No schabbat candles on schabbat, cause lightening fire is lawbreaking... - That Rabbis dont know, from which animal the blue color for tzitzit came from = no excuse for a simple command (blue means blue)... Isnt it weird, that they changes thousand commands in the thora but no one wants to go back to the command in Deut. 4:2? Where is a biblical proof to cover his name in secrecy? I know his name actually, but who knows his right name until today? Even the Rabbis dont know his name because of such menmade teachings... isnt it? His name is Yava (blessed is his name). Can you say me, why the Talmud adds so many laws, how food should be unclean, which isnt written in the thora, by eating with defiled hands??? Im believer in Messiah (Nazarim, not Christian). I believe, Messiah kept ALL laws of Tanak and wants us to do the same (from circumcision to schabbat, etc.)... Our messiah strictly teached AGAINST the talmud and he said, that anyone who keeps the Talmud is a hypocrite, that these Persons teached Yava's Law away (may his name be blessed), but established their own traditions of men (for many reasons)... Believe me or not, but only the Thora is true. For that our Messiah had say: "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees." Some truth the Talmud is teaching... Take that, but throw the rest away... Whoever contradicts the Thora, isnt worth to be a Shepherd. We are all sinners, and we need mercy. But there are some people outthere, who changed the truth for their own benefits and they will get no forgiveness, except Yava (may his name be blessed) knows it better. Shalum to all Jews and Nonjews who are searching for truth.

2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

did the oral law change over time? for example, the Mishnah was written down after Jesud (300 ad) so couldn't the Mishnah/oral law have been altered in response to Jesus to distance Judaism from Jesus?

"We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that G-D is over all things competent?"

So the answer is yes to the caller's question? That is the impression I was left with. Catholics have done the same with the bible. Instead of using only the Word of God, Catholics use oral tradition and man-made creeds to interpret scripture. I understand.

As someone who was born and raised in a strictly orthodox jewish home, I too see a clear delineation between the words of the Neviem, the Prophets, and what Chazal did. While the prophets tried to admonish the people for the lack of honesty and straight forwardness with their Creator and their fellow man, the Rabbis mostly created physical laws, such as the the 39 rabbinical laws of shabbos which arent from the old testament and yet are treated like the foundation of traditional Judaism. The Rabbis then created a death penalty, 4 different ways to die, for those who violated their laws. Judaism that is practiced today is mainly Rabbinic Judaism or halachik Judaism. Most Yeshivas today dont study tanach or only very little of it because the Prophets spoke out against this form of adherence to a made up fake Torah which was created to control the masses, please do your own research and pray to God for guidance.

A tooth for a tooth means that dentists wold not be in business long, without further understanding.

Jesus said that the law says do not commit adultery but he says that if you look upon a woman to list after them he has committed adultery already with her in your heart. It is not exactly an additional commandment at that point but at that point says if your right eye makes you sin then pluck it out. If this is a fence, it is a fence on steroids.

It's amazing finally found a video about Jews with the comments not disabled.....

Deuteronomy 17:8 ¶ If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; 9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment: 10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

I believe Christians misunderstand where Paul is coming from. I don't believe he speaks against Torah at all. My personal understanding.

Matt 23v8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.

I would like to know who songs this version of adon olam I love it

the comments section is what makes us chosen, anyone can read the Bible now, only we claim --and can accept the existence of an oral tradition that has not changed. Don't believe in the Oral Torah, the nature of a claim of tradition is that it isn't empirical; these proofs rabbi singer brings, while great, are not what a jew relies on to believe in the oral torah. We are proud to say that it is our tradition, I believe it because my father and rabbis told me, and their rabbis and parents told them. we claim to have an unbroken chain of transmission, we don't prostelyze, we don't claim it is empirical as the written word. God did this purposefully (obviously). (the psyche of a jew underlies the fact that he hasn't changed, has been espousing the same thing since he came into being, and every once in a while we see the world coming around to what he says; the jew is therefore unfazed to be a minority, to claim something others disagree or scorn, he knows he is always right and has no complex, no need for confirmation) Until the second temple nobody even questioned it, you could go ask a prophet if the Oral Torah is true, once prophecy ended, and we were "on our own" jews waited 10 minutes before dropping the rabbis and the burden of listening to them. the roots began with hellenism, and switched to the sadducees when hellenism lost favor due to Chanukah. when the rabbis fell out of favor due to yannai, the sadducees, already rich, gained some control of the Sanhedrin, but Shimon ben Shetach came back from Egypt and restored pharasaic power over the Sanhedrin and the temple. (except Cohen Gadol was bought from the authorities, and so many rich sadducees would buy that) as with early jewish christians, it was not always easy to tell who had sadducee beliefs. jesus came around in a time where the pharisees where being challenged in every which way, he was just another guy questioning the rabbis and making a personality cult. However, as Josephus says, the common man was with the pharisees, for unlike the portrayal in the NT, they were honest, kind, pure, warm, oozed the love of God, and were holy beyond belief.

On thing I find frustrating is when I read the Tanach with the English the JPS still uses bad Christian translations.

There is a difference between Mishna and Gemorah. Mishna is oral tradition handed down from the generations of Tanach, while Gemorah is something else. Much later, and based upon exile from the Land of Israel. Rabbinic Judaism in general, the Rabbis of the Talmud is very different from Tanach Judaism, that includes Midrash.

❤❤❤

This poor one comments as both a born again Christian and an admirer. I like listening to Rabbi tovia. he is very erudite and temperate. but I feel that he does not use a helpful analogy. I think the listener asks a valid question... where the Talmud stands in relation to the Torah. I would submit that a better comparison would be the catechism... assuming that Judaism has something like a catechism by that name. a catechism is like an oral Torah it enlightens and explains enlarges upon the written scripture

Belief in LIFE after DEATH is not in the Torah, it is a later doctrine. Does it add to the torah?

just two terms will clarify everything: de-oraitah and de-rabbanan. finished

Nice Karaite strawman. Do they have traditions and practices not found within Torah? Sure but this does not mean they have an oral law as the Orthodox claim to have. Having a tradition is not the same as having a divinely inspired tradition which one holds to being infallible and on par with the Torah. Now, saying "you cannot understand this commandment, it's all subjective interpretations, but we have tradition that gives further insight" is not a proof of the validity of that oral tradition. "Without the oral law you cannot explain what is allowed of Shabbat" -- let's say this is the case. The next step is for you to give a positive case for your oral traditions being from HaShem. Otherwise I can claim that I have tradirtion that explains X, Y and Z, but the mere assertion is not proof. This the same argument that Catholics bring to the table within intra-Christian debates.

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

He is right that Yeshua did not have problems with the oral Torah, he had a problem with manipulating the oral Torah to justify their behavior.

The other books were written when Greece banned learning Torah...they are not equal to Torah. The Mishna is in the Talmud and it’s the oral law, it was also not written till Judah the prince The rest of the Talmud is the Gamara which is opinion.

Brilliant!

Modern Talmudic love to say christians are idol worshipers however they say they still believe in a Messiah, okay so if their messiah finally shows up then aren’t they idol worshipers? 😂 it’s ridiculous

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

The Talmud should not be the determiner of anything except history, in which context it provides valuable resources. However, the Torah and the Writings and the Prophets are very clear about the relationship between God and man, and the only way it can be bridged. "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." -Genesis 6:5 this was before the flood and was reinforced after the flood: “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth" Genesis 8:21 But this goes even further. The Scripture declares that: "The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God." "They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one." Psalm 14:2-3 But what about our own works of righteousness? how do they add in? "Behold, You were angry, for we sinned, We continued in them a long time; And shall we be saved? For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." -Isaiah 64:5-6 So none of our works can save us. But how are we to be saved if there is none good? The answer is found in Genesis 3 after the fall when God Himself gave the original Messianic Prophesy: "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.” -Genesis 3:15 So the power of sin would be broken through the coming of the Messiah. But how does this apply? "The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." Gen 3:21 So God set up the sacrifice of an innocent animal to cover through blood the inadequacy of the leaves which Adam and Eve wore. In fact the entire Torah was set up to highlight the need for a blood sacrifice with the book of Leviticus the centerpiece. Why is this important? Because it pointed to the purpose of the Messiah. Which was to remove sin through the sacrifice of Himself. Don't believe me? What does the story of Abraham(Avraham) and Issac (Yitz’chak)mean? "On the third day, Avraham raised his eyes and saw the place in the distance. Avraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. I and the boy will go there, worship and return to you.” Avraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on Yitz’chak his son. Then he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and they both went on together. Yitz’chak spoke to Avraham his father: “My father?” He answered, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “I see the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Avraham replied, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son”; and they both went on together. They came to the place God had told him about; and Avraham built the altar there, set the wood in order, bound Yitz’chak his son and laid him on the altar, on the wood. Then Avraham put out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of Adonai called to him out of heaven: “Avraham? Avraham!” He answered, “Here I am.” He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy! Don’t do anything to him! For now I know that you are a man who fears God, because you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” Avraham raised his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in place of his son. Avraham called the place Adonai Yir’eh [Adonai will see (to it), Adonai provides] - as it is said to this day, “On the mountain Adonai is seen.” (Genesis 22:4-14) What does this mean? “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering" "a ram caught in the bushes by its horns." (13). So the ram was caught by His own horns. Or as is well known, by His own power. The Ram was offered instead of Issac, and God provided the Sacrifice. Still don't think this points to the purpose of Messiah? "For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him." Isaiah 53:2-6 What does God say about Messiah? "By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities." -Isaiah 53:11 And a resurrection? "If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days" -Isaiah 53:10 And again: "For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me the path of life" -Psalm 16:10-11 Still not convinced? “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate,” Declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones." Zechariah 13:7 and again: "Mashiach will be cut off and have nothing" -Daniel 9:26 and again: "The very rock that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone!" - Psalm 118:22 "And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My strength), He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” -Isaiah 49:5-6 Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber." "But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them. So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep." "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them." "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. "I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:1-18 “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed." find out more at SonsofGalilee.org

In a simple answer, no, we do not uphold the Talmud over the Torah. Everything starts and ends with the Written Torah. But we need the Oral Torah to even be able to read the Written Torah. PS. The Talmud does not equate the "Oral Torah," the Talmud is simply a gathering of works of which the Oral Torah is a part.

A Christian brought that exact point up to me...why do the Jews add to the Law of Moses? We had a long conversation involving this. What I personally learned is that they look at things like the Talmud, Oral Law etc. because they are not found with the same Old Testament, therefore it's a different thing entirely. They derive this almost entirely from passages in the New Testament where Jesus says that they(The Perushim) make their own laws, laws of men and make others follow those laws. THAT is their understanding of Oral law and Talmud. If the Talmud is not part of the old testament itself then it is what those pesky Pharisees created themselves...laws that did not exist in the Torah, that they were supposedly creating in Jesus' day and making people do them.

praise be to my Lord King Jesus the very Foundation of Our Lord God kingdom will have the 12 apostles names

The twisting of words is overt at this point Get a new tactic

2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I love to learn, @ 4:21 How is the Book of Isiah adding to the Bible, or Jeremiah for that matter? He nitpicked Deuteronomy 4:2 to make a point, but Scripture has context and Verses 1 and three make it clear he was speaking during a specific time for Israel. 1. Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. And 3. YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN WHAT THE LORD DID BECAUSE OF BAALPEOR: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you. Not one living among us has witnessed this and that land has long been possessed by God's TRUE (the real Jews) chosen people, so Obviously the scripture was given for that time frame. Nice Try.

Goes God provide obscure commands that different things to different people, and then judges them for not obeying the very same command that he confused them with ? Moreover why do the Jewish people prefer to live among none jews ?

Mr. Singer bends over backwards to make the New Testament seem to be in opposition to the old when even a child could read both and see the clear connection and agreement between the two. You are not searching for truth but instead trying to prove your point of view to defend your tradition. God will judge us all one day and we will all have to give an account so choose wisely if you want to keep going down that path because the gates that lead to eternal life with God are narrow but the one that leads to destruction is very wide. May God bless you and touch your heart.

Is echad one or a cluster.

The P’rushim and some of the Torah-teachers who had come from Yerushalayim gathered together with Yeshua 2 and saw that some of his talmidim ate with ritually unclean hands, that is, without doing n’tilat-yadayim.3 (For the P’rushim, and indeed all the Judeans, holding fast to the Tradition of the Elders, do not eat unless they have given their hands a ceremonial washing. 4 Also, when they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they have rinsed their hands up to the wrist; and they adhere to many other traditions, such as washing cups, pots and bronze vessels.) 5 The P’rushim and the Torah-teachers asked him, “Why don’t your talmidim live in accordance with the Tradition of the Elders, but instead eat with ritually unclean hands?”6 Yeshua answered them, “Yesha‘yahu was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites - as it is written, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from me. 7 Their worship of me is useless, because they teach man-made rules as if they were doctrines.’a]" 8 “You depart from God’s command and hold onto human tradition. 9 Indeed,” he said to them, “you have made a fine art of departing from God’s command in order to keep your tradition! 10 For Moshe said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. But you say, ‘If someone says to his father or mother, “I have promised as akorban” ’ ” (that is, as a gift to God) “ ‘ “what I might have used to help you,” ’ 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. 13 Thus, with your tradition which you had handed down to you, you nullify the Word of God! And you do other things like this.” 14 Then Yeshua called the people to him again and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand this! 15 There is nothing outside a person which, by going into him, can make him unclean. Rather, it is the things that come out of a person which make a person unclean!” ~ Mark 7: 1-15

Question: What are the Tanach prophesy's the Messiah would have to fulfill to be the Messiah ?

Why isn't Moses mentioned in the book of Enoch and the Exodus eventhough the Commandments are mentioned? The brief and stylised history incorporated into the Book of Enoch, known as the Apocalypse of Weeks because each period of the history is designated as a week. It is the history of Enoch, Noah, Abraham, the giving of the Law but without any mention of Moses and the Exodus, the building of the temple in the fifth week, and then, in the sixth week, ‘All who lived in the temple lost their vision, and the hearts of all of them godlessly forsook Wisdom and the house of the kingdom was burned and the whole chosen people was scattered (1 Enoch 93). This history knows nothing of the Deuteronomists’ story of the Exodus and the hero Moses, but it does emphasise Enoch. It is an issue bothering me.

Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

When it comes to a conflict between the Talmud and the Torah, then the Torah wins out. Saint Paul told Jews, because most of his congregation were Jews who had accepted Jesus, that Temple ritual had been replace by Jesus on Calvary, and at his resurrection. The Moral law stands even whether or not we stone adulterers!!!

I wasn't sure where to ask this question, but my niece has been asking me the following, I was hoping you could address it in a video we could forward to her. Thank you so... bc god sent down plagues that would have made anyone give up their power, god had to harden pharaoh's heart to allow pharoah to make his choice to keep the hebrew people enslaved... this still doesn't make sense to me. 1. this still means that pharoah probably woulda let them go 2. free will is still in question 'cause it means god knew what pharoah's choice was going to be because god knows what's going to happen next, cuz everything's already laid out before us 3. idk i mean i know that the jewish view for the most part is that god sent down all that stuff not as something to change the pharoah's mind per say bc god knew what the pharoah's decision would be... but that they were meant to demonstrate the power of god period, for them and followers of the one god today tl;dr: i still don't understand

Since the Talmud is placed on equal footing as God's Word, man word takes the place of God. That's a Catholic thing. They got the Catchcism book. Judism got Talmud, with Rabbi intercessiors. Christians have Jesus Christ AKA God as an intercessior. I'll seek after the Latter.

Celebrating the feasts as someone who believes Yeshua is the Messiah is one of the most fulfilling most meaningful things I’ve ever experienced.

Do Noahides follow the talmud?

Karaites. I had to look that up.

Singer really dislikes Christians lol

As much as I enjoy Rabbi Tovia Singer's videos and his exegetical interpretations of the OT (Tanakh), I do acknowledge that he would make an excellent snake oil salesman.

This is same as Christians place Book of revelation and Epistles over gospels or you can say Christians place false gospels over the true gospels of Jesus just like gospels of Mathew Mark luke and John over Gospel of Barnabas God Knows the best

Paul never says that we don't have to keep the law. In fact, the mistranslation of his words have led Christians to lawlessness and Jews away from Mashiach. Yeshua says: he who says he loves Me but does not keep My commandments is a liar.

12:10 to 12:25 Tovia sir, you need to work on your math.

What is meant by oral Torah?

Excuse me I love u an all I love ur explanations but its no wonder the law was dropped, I think it states somewhere that I gave you laws that u could not keep, but I these laws are not possible to keep...

I follow the book of Elvis.

You can try all the apologetics to say they don’t but in yeshiva they study 99% Gemara (Talmud) anything else is done personally but yeshiva education is Talmudic only

Mathew 23 1-5 explains how Jesus pointed out the teachings of the Pharisees to be heavy burdens. May God bless you Singer, but let's get biblical. The Talmud is a heavy burden on people. Shalom

Should all Jews return to Israel?

We can have Isiah and ezekiel because they were Prophets and did not contradict the word of God. The Talmudic writers were not Prophets, inspired by the devil himself and contradict Almighty God in spirit and truth
