Welcome!

Got questions about Christianity? I understand. In fact, I'm an ex-Christian. I left Christianity when I began to seriously study the Torah and discovered that a belief in Jesus and the New Testament was inconsistent with what the Torah actually teaches. So I made this website.

I made it because I feel like I have a duty to share what I've learned and what I continue to learn about these issues. I also created it because of my belief in G-d, the G-d of Abraham, and the obligation I have to contribute something to the world. Hopefully all of my readers can find the value and truth in this information that I did - Shalom.

If you have something you would like to see on this website, please drop me a line on our forums.

"Shema" is Hebrew for hear or listen.

Talmud:

There are a lot of distortions and fabrications about one of Judaism's most famous works, the Talmud, made by anti-Semites. Where exactly do they come from? "Falsifiers of the Talmud" exposes this anti-Semitic propaganda for what it is.

Falsifiers of the Talmud

What does the Talmud say about Jesus? A close examination may provide a simple answer - absolutely nothing. See "The Jesus Narrative in the Talmud."

The Jesus Narrative in the Talmud

From the same source; see all of your Talmudic questions answered! Is the Talmud holier than the Torah? (No) Are gentiles animals? (No) Is it lawful to steal from gentiles? (No) See each false accusation against the Talmud refuted by the Talmud itself - "The Real Truth About the Talmud."

The Real Truth about the Talmud

Hey, don't take my word for it. Contrast any of the fabricated folios listed with the Schottenstein Edition Talmud. You'll find that the Talmud simply doesn't contain them.

Anti-Semitism Refuted:

Some claim that Jews today are not descendants of the ancient Israelites. See this allegation refuted with hard DNA evidence at "Jewish Genetics."

"Revisionist historians" (i.e. Nazi propagandists) would have you believe that the Holocaust never happened! Or as Nizkor.org puts it, the motto of these revisionists is, "the holocaust never happened and we want it to happen again." See revisionist holocaust denials refuted at The Nizkor Project: Holocaust Educational Resource.

Noachides:

A great alternative to Christianity - learn about Noachides! As this site puts it, "Orthodox Judaism for non-Jews who observe the Biblical Covenant that G-d made with Noah." Visit Noachide.org.uk

On Jesus:

Celsus was a pagan philosopher in the second century CE. He wrote responses to Christianity that were ultimately destroyed by the Church. Luckily, his very works were preserved within a response to them by an early Christian named Origen. Read what Celsus had to say about Jesus.

Against Celsus

The Toledoth Yeshu (Generations of Jesus) is an account of the life of Jesus written in the style of a gospel. It seems to reiterate many of the beliefs surrounding Jesus that circulated outside of the Christian community. (Note: The Toledoth Yeshu is not a piece of Rabbinic literature. It is not a piece of Talmudic literature. It does not represent mainstream or Orthodox Jewish views on Jesus but rather popular views of Jesus that circulated outside of the Christian community in the 6th century CE. This note exists because this very work is one that anti-Semites erroneously attempt to link with the Talmud and Rabbinic Judaism.)

Toledoth Yeshu

Learning that the Jesus story was a reconstruction of pagan mystery religions was one of the contributing factors to my leaving Christianity. Here is a great website with hundreds of resources on "The Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth."

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth

See the teachings of Jesus in the gospels compared with previous pagan teachings at "Bible Miscellany." Many of the things in the gospels were borrowed almost word for word!

These are some great counter-missionary websites. "Outreach Judaism" is run by Rabbi Tovia Singer, who also has a great show on Israel National Radio. "Messiahpage.com" has an article that is a must-read, titled, "Chassidic Rabbi Makes a Discovery." Make sure to check them all out!
