Podcasts about Oral Torah

In this thought-provoking episode, Rabbi Tovia Singer returns to unpack the deep-rooted Christian animosity toward the Oral Torah. From burning Talmudic texts to rejecting the Jewish calendar, Rabbi Singer explores the historical and theological reasons why Church leaders came to see the Oral Law as a threat. He explains how early Christians relied on the Oral Torah, even citing it in the New Testament, and how later Church doctrine turned against it. The discussion delves into missionary tactics, Jewish identity, the development of Christian theology, and how the Oral Torah continues to safeguard Jewish continuity. A vital episode for anyone seeking to understand the enduring power of our Talmud and how it defends against spiritual assimilation.Join the Conversation!

To my dear listeners believers and non believers alike, SHALOM!שלום My apologies for being away from you for so long! I won't bore you to death with stories of my absence yet I will state that life had seriously got in the way (I had lost my job) and so my focus has been on all the drama and necessity of finding new employment, reluctantly. To be frank, I would rather wait a while longer until I have all my notes laid out properly rather than rush into things. After all, Messiah Yeshua deserves my very best. I also had a time to reflect and digest what I've discovered in regards to the origins of Rabbinical Judaism and specifically what Maimonides had written about those Jews who don't believe in the so-called Divine authority of their Oral Torah which later becomes the Talmud. It was shocking, to be sure and to say the least! I thought I was surely reading something out of fanatic, fundamentalist Islam, not Judaism! The words of Maimonides are a direct slap in the face to the Divine commandment "Love your neighbor as you love yourself!"! Abhorrent behavior! Now I understand why Jews behave in such an ugly way towards non-Jews; their very rabbis and sages justify such ugly behavior! Murder of non Jews is justified, according to Maimonides! How is this any different from the evil of the Quran which calls for the murder of infidel "Kafir" who doesn't believe in Muhammad or Islam?! It's NOT any different. In fact, it's the very same evil, just with a different face. But it doesn't stop there, my dear listeners! Oh no, the perversion of Judaism goes even further as you will soon find out in my next, upcoming episode. I will be sharing from Dr. Eitan Bar's book "Why Don't Jews Believe In Jesus", continuing from exactly where I had left off at the end of Episode XXIX. We will be exploring the further distortion of Rabbinical Judaism and how it split into two ethnic groups (Ashkenaz vs Sefardic) with two separate approaches to the Talmud (Hassidism vs Kabbalism) and also we will discover how Rabbinical Judaism had absorbed pagan rituals (!) throughout the centuries, making it practically unrecognizable from its original Biblical form. In fact, most of the traditions that I had grown up with (Kadish, Lighting candles on Shabbat, to name a few) as a Rabbinical Jew are rooted in paganism! There will be a supplemental podcast that will follow Episode Thirty that will touch upon two major theological objections to Yeshua being The Messiah, the first one being the Trinity (Tri-Unity) which we will soon learn that it is actually a JEWISH concept, and the second one being the absence of an aforementioned world peace that is promised to accompany The Messiah when He arrives. It was just too much content for one podcast episode and I really didn't want to overwhelm you! All this leads up to the Second Reason why Jews don't believe in Jesus - Christian Antisemitism and the evil doctrine of Replacement Theology - a topic I've already touched on lightly in a previous podcast. This will be the subject of Episode XXXI of #FindingHyerGround. Stay tuned, stay blessed and stay in the Presence of Messiah Yeshua! Blessings to you and Shalom!שלום https://a.co/d/1Zpbdbg https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2504642986508288310&created=1745593916

In this episode, we'll explore a deeper insight into Daniel's dietary problems in Babylon and the origins of his solution. Did Daniel rely on the principles of "Biblically Kosher" to navigate the food issues in Babylon, or was he tapped into the Jewish Oral Torah, even in his time?   For more info, visit: https://www.thehiddenorchard.com/proofs-of-oral-torah-origins-of-the-daniel-plan/   In this series, we're challenging the assumption that an oral tradition—specifically, the Jewish oral tradition—is irrelevant to Biblical understanding and application. visit the website for more.

How familiar are you with Torah? It's an important question because a lot of people simply remember the grand journey Moses takes and how he leads the people to Israel, and boom! You have the Torah. But it's so much more. In fact, outside of the 5 books of Moses you have The Talmud and Kabbalah and you have Pirkei Avot and you have this thing called Oral Torah versus Written Torah. Somewhere within the wide scope of what's considered Torah, you'll come across this book and wonder what's so special about this guy named Zohar.  The mysteries and wisdom of The Zohar is well known and studied by Rabbi Natan Halevy. His precise and detailed work has been a lifetime achievement passed down from generation to generation within his family. Rabbi Halevy teaches Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, the depths, teachings, and relevance of this essential piece in Jewish literature.   00:00 Introduction 07:13 Oral Torah 10:04 Essential teachings 14:53 The power in reading 19:04 Zohar predicts cell phone addiction 22:30 Connection to Israel, Torah, and God deeply 24:39 Balancing study with life's responsibilities is challenging. 28:08 Alleviating depression, spreading holiness. 32:42 God's existence is fundamental 33:41 Practicing mystical teachings today About Rabbi Natan Halevy: I grew up in Los Angeles, and with my parents and siblings, attended Kahal Joseph where I had my Bar Mitzvah in 1994. As the child of Iraqi parents, I have a powerful sense of the strong culture and traditon I come from. In 2005 I received my Rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yitchak Yaroslavsky at Yeshivat Tomchei Tmimim in Israel. I then served as an assistant Rabbi in Chabad of Great Neck, NY before I returned to Los Angeles in 2008. I love studying all facets of Torah—from the Bible to the Talmud to the inner parts of Torah. I also have knowledge of many other modalities and philosophies that I feel may support us as Jews and people in this modern day and age. My wife Bracha and our children – Yosef Hayim, Menucha, Menachem, Noam, and Shimon – are very happy to be working with the wonderful Kahal Joseph community.

In today's episode we discuss why the Oral Torah is referred to as "Mother", the study of which, in particular the laws contained therein, reveals the level of "Crown", which surrounds and is higher than the Written Torah, which is referred to as "Father"Iggeres HaKodesh, End of Epistle 29.

The laws of the Oral Torah, are called the "Crown". As a woman is called the "crown" to her husband, so is the Oral Law to the Written Law.

In this 142nd Torah Reading discussion, we are taught how to operate in certain domestic relationships that include relating the taking of foreign war brides unto our selves, treatment of the firstborn son in a polygamous relationship, how to properly deal with unredeemable rebellious children, proper treatment of executed criminal remains, and the proper handling of lost property.

Though some may not be convinced of the validity of the Oral Torah, one way to illustrate the its vitality is through the exploration examples in the Biblical texts themselves that affirm its importance.    In this episode, we explore an overlooked passage that demonstrates the validity and vitality of the laws of purity.   For Notes, visit: https://www.thehiddenorchard.com/proofs-of-oral-torah-haggais-quiz/

התוכן בסיום מסכת מגילה, לאחרי שמביאה הגמ' את דברי המשנה "וידבר משה את מועדי ה' אל בני ישראל, מצותן שיהיו קורין אותן כל אחד ואחד בזמנו", מסיימת הגמ': "ת"ר משה תיקן לישראל שיהיו שואלין ודורשין בענינו של יום, הלכות פסח בפסח, הלכות עצרת בעצרת, הלכות חג בחג" (שנוסף שבכל יו"ט צריכים לקרוא פסוקים בתושב"כ מעניני המועד, צריכים גם לדרוש בהלכות המועד בתושבע"פ). זה שלא נזכר כאן ר"ה ויוהכ"פ (שנימנו בפרשה שבסיומה הפסוק "וידבר משה וגו'") יובן עפ"י המובן משו"ע אדה"ז שהענין ד"שואלין ודורשין בהלכות הפסח קודם הפסח ל' יום וכו'" הוא כדי ללמוד את דיני החג, הן של ההכנות להחג והן של החג עצמו, משא"כ הענין ד"שואלין ודורשין . . הלכות פסח בפסח וכו'" הוא "בענינו של יום נס הנעשה בו ביום". אלא שמכיון שאוספים כבר את הציבור בשביל זה, מנצלים את ההזדמנות גם כדי לדרוש ולחזור עוה"פ על דיני החג. אבל בר"ה ויוהכ"פ אין ענין של נס שבשבילו יש לאסוף את הציבור (ואת דיני החג כבר למדו לפנ"ז). ב' חלקים משיחת פורים ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-05-2024 Synopsis The Mishna states, “‘And Moshe told the Jewish people the appointed festivals of Hashem' – the mitzvah is that they should read each one in its time.” On this the Gemara says: “Our Sages taught, Moshe enacted for the Jewish people that they should inquire and expound upon the laws of Pesach on Pesach, the laws of Shavuos on Shavuos, and the laws of Sukkos on Sukkos” (that is, in addition to the requirement to read from the Torah on each Yom Tov the verses in the Written Torah about that day, they must also expound upon the laws in the Oral Torah). The reason it doesn't mention Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur here (although they, too, are mentioned in the passage upon which the law is based, “And Moshe told…”) can be understood from the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch, where he writes the requirement of “inquiring and expounding upon the laws of Pesach before Pesach for thirty days” etc. is in order to learn the laws of the holiday (including the preparations for the holiday as well as the laws of the holiday itself), in contrast to the requirement of “inquiring and expounding on Pesach” itself., which is about “the theme of the day—the miracle that happened on that day.” Just that since the community is already being gathered to expound upon the miracles (on Yom Tov itself), the opportunity is used to once again review the laws. But on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur there is no requirement to gather the community because there is no miracle of the day upon which to expound (and there is no need to gather the community to discuss the laws, which they have already learned during the previous thirty days).Two excerpts from sichah of Purim 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-05-2024 לע"נ מרת מלכה רייזל בת הרה"ח ר' מרדכי דובער ע"ה ראזענפעלד ליום היארצייט שלה ט' אייר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנה הרב מנחם מענדל הכהן שי' ראזענפעלדלע”נ הרה"ח הרה"ת ר' דובער ע"ה יוניק ליום היארצייט שלו ט' אייר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' דוד שי' יוניק

Megilat Esther: Merging The Written & Oral Torah by Rabbi Avi Harari

The Pharisees accused Yeshua of breaking the Sabbath in the First Century. They were developing their own system of interpretation of the Written Torah, which became known as the Oral Torah. The accusations had more to do with their own authority and man-made laws than the commandments of God. Let us show you what Jesus said about Shabbat and how He understood the significance of the seven-day cycle that he built into the fabric of creation.Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/3tqjxyb#thehappyrabbi #seattle #jewish #messianic #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Paul had a realization long before the Oral Torah was codified. He understood that man-made rules are not Torah. While customs, traditions, guidelines, and rules are not inherently bad, they become problematic when people add their own man-made rules to God's commandments and treat them as equal to the Written Torah. Paul found that Messiah is the goal of the Torah and that Yeshua's words are given as Torah!

Today we discuss the mysterious phrase 8:12 - 'אכתוב לו רובי תורתי כמו זר נחשבו' Either: "Though I write for him the great things of My Torah, they are reckoned a strange thing" Or the Midrash (Tanchuma Ki Tissa 34): "I write the majority of the Torah [but leave the Mishnah unwritten] so that the [Oral Torah] remains undecipherable [strange] to the Nations of the World.

This episode provides background on the Sadducees, an elite group of priests and aristocrats who wielded power in Judea during Jesus' time. It covers their role in society, theological beliefs, political cooperation with Rome, and involvement in Jesus' trial. Episode Overview The Sadducees were a small but influential faction that controlled the Jerusalem Temple rituals and the Jewish high court. They rejected the Oral Torah and the afterlife, sparking conflict with the Pharisees. As wealthy elites, they partnered with Roman rulers to retain local power. They condemned Jesus to crucifixion to eliminate a threat to their authority. Discussion Questions Why is it important to understand the historical context Jesus lived in? What insights does it provide? What modern parallels do you see to the Sadducees' use of religion to secure power and status? How should followers of Jesus respond? How can prestige blind us from recognizing truth today? What practices help keep us focused on Christ above all else?

At the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) Messiah Conference 2023, Jonathan gave a presentation addressing the standard interpretation of Mark 7.15–19. He presents three reasons why it is implausible that Jesus abrogated Israel's dietary laws and then offers a reading of the text that makes better sense of Jesus's argument in its Jewish context. Special thanks to Dr. Logan Williams for sharing his research with us on Mark 7.18–19 for this presentation! Dr. Williams won the 2022 Paul J. Achtemeier Award for New Testament scholarship for this paper and it will be published as an article in the peer-reviewed journal, New Testament Studies. ___________________________ You can also listen on our podcast: https://anchor.fm/two-messianic-jews Follow us on Social Media: Facebook Instagram If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter here: We also have: PayPal ___________________________ Works cited: Daniel Boyarin, “Mark 7:1-23 – Finally,” in Taylor G.

The people who lived in the Galil wanted to know if they could read from the Torah for public reading from a chumash (a scroll of only one of the 5 books of the Torah). Turns out, it wasn't an easy question. Plus, can a scroll of one parsha be written for the sake of teaching children? The answer depends on whether you think the Torah was given as a while or piecemeal. Plus, Queen Helene's sheet of gold with the parsha of Sotah on it, for the kohen. But what about writing down the Oral Torah? Also, a dispute between Rav and Shmuel - how to irrigate which field when? Plus, a story of Abaye's need for irrigation, and issues of the priority of water, and battles over water distribution.

What is the order for who receives aliyot to the Torah after the first two (kohen and levi)? Is one allowed to read from a parchment that includes only one book of the Torah?  Is one permitted to write sections of the Torah for children to learn? Can the Oral Torah be written down? Other laws are discussed that were instituted because of darkhei shalom, which relate to where to put the food for the eruv and laws of precedence regarding filling up wells from an irrigation channel.

Early Judaism is often described as the religion of the book par excellence—a movement built around the study of the Bible and steeped in a culture of sacred bookishness that evolved from an unrelenting focus on a canonical text.  But in The Closed Book: How the Rabbis Taught the Jews (Not) to Read the Bible (Princeton University Press, 2023), Dr. Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg argues that Jews didn't truly embrace the biblical text until nearly a thousand years after the Bible was first canonized. She tells the story of the intervening centuries during which even rabbis seldom opened a Bible and many rabbinic authorities remained deeply ambivalent about the biblical text as a source of sacred knowledge. Dr. Wollenberg shows that, in place of the biblical text, early Jewish thinkers embraced a form of biblical revelation that has now largely disappeared from practice. Somewhere between the fixed transcripts of the biblical Written Torah and the fluid traditions of the rabbinic Oral Torah, a third category of revelation was imagined by these rabbinic thinkers. In this “third Torah,” memorized spoken formulas of the biblical tradition came to be envisioned as a distinct version of the biblical revelation. And it was believed that this living tradition of recitation passed down by human mouths, unbound by the limitations of written text, provided a fuller and more authentic witness to the scriptural revelation at Sinai. In this way, early rabbinic authorities were able to leverage the idea of biblical revelation while quarantining the biblical text itself from communal life. The result is a revealing reinterpretation of “the people of the book” before they became people of the book. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
