I'm not exactly new, but due to privacy reasons (as I was granted permission to create a new name) I will simply be referred to as Searcher.

I guess the name is self-explanatory. This past year has been kind of something and I feel like I'm (re?)kindling a spiritual journey. I'm a gentile, but for years I had wondered about Judaism as for one I had grown up as a Catholic but wondered around for a little bit and couldn't find all the explanations for the questions I've had since I was young. One thing led to another and I found myself at first looking at the Messianic sect and then learned more about the Jewish faith.

I've read the Five Books of Moses years ago and might do so again to refresh my memory, along with using other resources to help along. I've considered on becoming a Noahide as that would probably be the furthest I can go at this point in my life.

I hope to meet others in a similar situation as well as fellow Jews who can help me on this path.

Sanhedrin Just Called All Jews To Move to Israel - Back to Jerusalem

If they do, then instantly? Or by having conversation etc... Thanks you

Hello, I've been reading about the Talmud and this book pops up repeatedly online with hardly any description. I don't think it has anything to do with the Talmud but what is it? I've read that it's a collection of unrelated Rabbinical stories but I don't know on what authority that rests.

Thanks.

Exodus 14 is probably one of the most iconic chapters from the Hebrew bible. It features the famous story of the parting of the Red Sea. It reads pretty straight forwardly, without a lot of metaphors or cryptic words from God--just relaying the series of events that took place--and so this post will be short and sweet. Again, this is part of a series of posts I have been contributing to this forum for a while now--dissecting Exodus chapter by chapter, asking questions, giving commentary, offering interpretations--all from the point of view of a non-Jew curious about what Exodus has to say and how to unearth its hidden pearls of wisdom. My source is here, same as always.

Exodus 14:15 Wrote:The Lord said to Moses, Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the children of Israel and let them travel.

Exodus 14:18 Wrote:And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I will be glorified through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen

Exodus 14:19 Wrote:Then the angel of God, who had been going in front of the Israelite camp, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved away from in front of them and stood behind them.

Exodus 13:21 Wrote:And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to cause it to lead them on the way and at night in a pillar of fire to give them light, [they thus could] travel day and night.

Exodus 14:23 Wrote:The Egyptians pursued and came after them all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.

Exodus 14:24 Wrote:It came about in the morning watch that the Lord looked down over the Egyptian camp through a pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw the Egyptian camp into confusion.

Exodus 14:29 Wrote:But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them like a wall from their right and from their left.

Dear Yarden Bibas - Our hearts are broken; we cry together with you

O Israel take Note....Hamas; Fatah; PLO Hezbullah are children of Easu and Haman....expel them from Israel..do not let these vipers stay within Jewish Land!
After I read their story I remembered another memorial of a Jewish Child killed by the PLO....The surving family members wrote may the L-D avenge her blood....
As for myself....I began to compose a memorial message...but suddenly found I just could not write it

I was watching the Jewish TV channel and there was an older gentleman who professed to be a jew and he said he does not believe a greater power was watching down on him. The jewish commentator agreed with him. I thought Jews believe in GoD, creator of the universe.

The Quran says that the land of Israel belongs to the Judaic peoples.

When the Quran speaks of Israel's inheritance, it simply refers to the land which God gave them.

Quran 5:21. “O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has assigned for you, and do not turn back, lest you return as losers.”

Quran 5:21. O my people! Go into the holy land which Allah hath ordained for you.

Traditional commentators of the Quran, from the eighth and ninth century onward, have uniformly interpreted the Quran to say explicitly, that Israel has been given by God to the Jewish people as a perpetual covenant. There is no Islamic counterclaim to the Land of Israel.
