RABBINICAL JUDAISM IS NOT THE SAME AS OLD TESTAMENT JUDAISM UNDER MOSES


 


What really happened to Judaism after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD? This video explores the hidden transformation that reshaped Judaism forever. As the Temple burned and the priesthood scattered, a new form of Judaism quietly emerged—centered not on sacrifices, but on study, rabbis, and the Oral Torah. We uncover how figures like Yohanan ben Zakkai helped build what would become Rabbinic Judaism. At the same time, we explore how early Christians saw these events as the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecies and the end of the old covenant. Discover the sharp contrasts between Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity in the post-Temple world, and how both faiths responded to the loss of the Temple. Topics covered in this episode: 1. The fall of the Second Temple in 70 AD 2. The rise of Rabbinic Judaism and the Oral Torah 3. Jesus’ prophecy about the Temple 4. Hebrews 10 and the finality of Christ’s sacrifice 5. The diverging paths of Judaism and Christianity Did Rabbinic Judaism preserve the faith of Moses—or reshape it? What does the fall of the Temple reveal about God’s plan?


RECOMMEND READING



"This book provides a critical survey of Judaism, making it an excellent introduction for anyone interested in learning about the Jewish faith from a critical perspective!"

The central aim of this book is to argue that the God of Israel did not give Moses the traditions of the Orthodox Rabbis, known as the "Oral Law" or "Oral Torah." Jewish tradition claims that the Oral Law, which includes rabbinic laws and statutes, was handed to Moses alongside the Pentateuch. However, drawing from biblical scholarship, history, and archaeology, this book demonstrates that it is unreasonable to believe God gave Moses a concealed Oral Law at Mount Sinai—one that only Rabbis can interpret, thus making the people of Israel dependent on them to connect with God.

This book defines Judaism, explores its origins, and critically examines rabbinic arguments for the Oral Law. It also offers evidence to show that the Oral Law is untenable biblically, historically, and logically while revealing its true sources and intentions based on Jewish scholarly research.

Rabbinic Judaism relies entirely on the claim that God provided an additional, oral body of law. Refuting this claim undermines its foundational premise. As one Jewish professor admitted, “There is no greater threat to Rabbinic Judaism than the refutation of the Oral Law as handed down to Moses at Sinai.”

We wish to clarify three key points:

First, this book explores challenging issues but is fully supported by academic research. Drawing on studies from Israeli scholars, it presents rigorous arguments while remaining accessible to non-academic readers.

Second, we deeply respect the Jewish people (of which we are a part) and their dedication to preserving God’s Word and identity throughout the diaspora. However, we lament that traditions rooted in the Oral Law have led to a version of Judaism that diverges from the Hebrew Bible and the God of Israel.

Third, this critique is an internal discussion between Jews who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) and those who do not. It is not an attack on the Jewish people but a call for dialogue grounded in biblical and historical truth.

If you’d like to go beyond a simple survey, don’t miss my other book, The New Kings of Israel: A Theological Survey and Critique of Rabbinic Judaism. There, I take readers on a far deeper journey — a bold and comprehensive apologetic exploration that uncovers the roots and challenges of Rabbinic Judaism with clarity and conviction.

ANTI CHRISTIAN HATRED ON THE RISE BY ULTRA ORTHODOX JEWS IN ISRAEL

 


Jews May Kill Non-Jews

If a gentile kills a Jew, the gentile is to be killed. But if a Jew kills a gentile, the Jew is to go free. (BT Sanhedrin 57a).

"Relying upon the Code of Maimonides and the Halacha, the Gush Emunim leader Rabbi Israel Ariel stated: 'A Jew who killed a non-Jew is exempt from human judgment and has not violated the religious prohibition of murder."

Revelation 3:9
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews, though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

Radical violence against Christians in Israel is primarily carried out by a small fringe of young, religious-nationalist extremist Jews, often affiliated with "hilltop youth" or far-right, ultranationalist movements. These individuals, mainly located in Jerusalem, conduct acts of vandalism, spitting, and physical assault, aiming to intimidate and drive Christians out of the area. 
Key groups and individuals associated with this violence include:
  • Religious-Nationalist Extremist Youth: A segment of young Ultra-Orthodox Jews, specifically identified in as responsible for rising attacks on clergy and churches.
  • Lehava: A far-right organization led by Bentzi Gopstein, known for extremist views opposing Jewish assimilation, including hostility toward Christians.
  • Hilltop Youth: Far-right settlers associated with violence against Palestinians and sometimes Christian sites, often affiliated with "The Revolt" group, which seeks to destroy the secular Israeli state.
  • Sikrikim: A radical ultra-Orthodox group largely based in Mea Shearim, known for violence against Christians and other Jews who oppose their extremist views.
  • Yad L'Achim: An anti-missionary organization that has been involved in protests against Christians, including vandalizing buildings. 
These attacks have included physical assaults, spitting on worshippers, desecration of graveyards, and arson against churches, which are often encouraged by extremist rhetoric and, according to church leaders, a lack of consistent police response. 


Reports indicate a "disturbing rise" in harassment and hate crimes targeting Christians by certain Jewish individuals in Jerusalem and other parts of Israel. This hostility, described as a "troubling pattern" rather than isolated incidents, includes spitting, physical assaults, vandalism of churches and cemeteries, and verbal abuse.
Key Aspects of the Rising Hostility
  • Targeting of Clergy and Property: The Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue documented 111 incidents in 2024, ranging from verbal abuse to violence, with many attacks aimed at religious symbols.

  • Recent Escalation: A notable assault on a Catholic nun in Jerusalem in May 2026 prompted official condemnation from Israeli authorities, following a series of assaults.
  • "Spitting Attacks": Spitting at Christian pilgrims and clergy, often by young ultra-Orthodox individuals in the Old City of Jerusalem, has become frequent, with some individuals identifying it as a perverse interpretation of Jewish tradition.

  • "Squeeze" and "Smash" Tactics: Human rights observers characterize the harassment as a "squeeze" (pressure to leave the region) and "smash" (violent destruction of property).
Factors Contributing to the Rise
  • Rise of Far-Right Nationalism: Observers cite an increase in Jewish ultra-nationalism and the influence of far-right elements in the current Israeli government.

  • Cultural and Religious Extremism: Certain extremist individuals, particularly in the Old City, treat Christians with contempt, sometimes using religious justifications to harass, a practice that has drawn sharp rebuke from some rabbis.

  • Long-Term Tension: The escalation is also attributed to deeply rooted religious tensions between Orthodox Jews and Christian communities.
Response and Official Action
  • Condemnation by Leaders: Israeli leaders and some religious figures have condemned the attacks.

  • Police Investigation: While police have been accused of being slow in the past, they have stated they take acts of violence and vandalism seriously, and in some cases have taken action, such as the arrest of individuals involved in the 2026 assault on a nun.

  • Parliamentary Hearings: In 2025, the Knesset held its first-ever meetings regarding the harassment of Christians, indicating growing concern among lawmakers.
While some reports highlight this trend as a growing issue in the Holy Land, other studies suggest that Christians face high levels of persecution and discrimination globally, with millions affected worldwide, particularly in Africa and Asia.
