Rabbi Joseph TeischmanOCTOBER 5, 2012 BY ADMINFrom Rabbis meet Jesus the Messiah – a collection of 24 biographies and testimonies of Rabbis encounters with Jesus the Messiah© Messianic Good News.Joseph Teischman was born and raised the son of an Orthodox Rabbi in New York City. He followed in his father's footsteps by also receiving smichah (ordination) as an Orthodox Rabbi. But unlike his father, Joseph also earned a doctorate in the field of psychology. When he found himself unable to continue believing the teachings of Orthodox Judaism, he decided to leave and join the Conservative movement. His wife refused to leave the protective Orthodox community. She and their young children remained in Brooklyn, while Joseph went to California and eventually became the Rabbi of the Conservative synagogue in Fresno.Some time later, Rabbi Teischman moved to Reno to take the pulpit of the Conservative synagogue there. In that neon lit town of gambling and instant weddings, Joseph became friends with a former pastor who began ministering to him.With the help of one or two others, Joseph made a definite decision for Jesus. He began to study the New Testament and grow in his faith. Sometimes he would quietly slip into the back of a church to hear the sermon. But he kept his faith in Jesus a carefully guarded secret … until his urgent meeting with Moishe Rosen at Jews for Jesus Headquarters in San Francisco. He appeared to be in deep distress and confided that he was a Rabbi who believed that Jesus is the Messiah. He went on to state that he served a Conservative synagogue in Reno and had not been able to tell his congregation about his faith and questioned whether he should resign or should he begin preaching about his faith from the pulpit! Joseph was tremendously burdened and admitted that he had for almost two years wrestled with the problem which was wearing him down; but he had to find some relief by confessing to another Jew that he believed in Jesus. He asked for prayer.The rest of the afternoon was spent discussing the Rabbi's pilgrimage to faith and his hopes and aspirations for serving the Lord in the future. He affirmed his belief that Jesus is God come in the flesh and that He died for his sin and rose from the dead and he considered himself to be a born again Christian. His favourite book of the New Testament was Galatians and the Rabbi described how he felt about being freed from the Law through Y'shua. Jesus had driven away the doubts which used to gnaw at him about his standing before God. The problem was no longer where he stood with God, but where he stood with the Jewish community. Joseph felt torn. He desperately wanted to grow in his faith but knew that his walk with Y'shua might take him on a path utterly unacceptable to his family, friends, associates and fellow members of his chosen profession. The very real possibility of losing everything he had worked so hard for depressed and frightened him.After months of visits and lengthy phone calls, Joseph began to consider confessing his faith at his synagogue. He knew this would mean the immediate termination of his career (What an horrific prospect for a man in his mid fifties). His numerous obligations included college tuition for his children, who were so very important to him.“Jews for Jesus” offered to help the Rabbi attend an evangelical seminary as a believer in Jesus. Joseph knew that he needed the education but remarked that it would be difficult to return to school after so many years as a Rabbi.Rabbi Teischman truly loved the Lord but could not seem to overcome his struggle to profess his faith publicly. When he was asked how he managed to maintain his silence when people came to him for spiritual counseling, he gave an anguished stare and said that it caused him great personal grief, knowing that Jesus could help the person, but felt that he was unable to tell them so. Yet he still found ways to encourage some people in their pursuit of Y'shua.An interesting call was received one morning from a Jewish woman who had attended Rabbi Teischman's synagogue on Yom Kippur. She had received Jesus as her atonement the previous morning, and felt compelled to go to synagogue for the high holy day.After the service, she felt that she should tell the Rabbi about her decision. She was amazed when he seemed sympathetic to her new faith and gave her “Jews for Jesus” telephone number.She called to tell them about her decision for Y'shua and to ask if they thought that the Rabbi might be open to the Gospel. All could not be disclosed to her but she was encouraged to keep in touch with the Rabbi and to pray for him.Concerning his future ministry, once he had finished a year at an evangelical seminary, Joseph expressed the desire to being called to the Gentiles like the apostle Paul; but it was pointed out to him that although Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles, he still continued preaching the Gospel to Jewish people first, addressing non Jews once he had fulfilled his obligation to his own people. Joseph became downcast, not that he disliked his people but felt anguish at the thought of how they would reject him. He was an honest and sensitive man. Yet he was ready to endure the pain of the initial exclusion from his beloved Jewish community for the sake of the Saviour, knowing that he could not ignore the need of his own people hearing the Gospel. He continued his struggle with this and began preparing himself to visit the seminary recommended to him, and finally agreed to visit with the dean. Flights had been arranged; but the night he was due to leave he cancelled, admitting that he could not carry through with it. He knew that once he stepped outside, he would be treated like an outsider and he simply could not face the risks in following Y'shua “outside the camp”. He admitted that he could not do what God was asking of him and asked for prayer that one day he would have the strength to do so.One day, the former minister who had helped Joseph find the Lord called the “Jews for Jesus” office. He mentioned that Rabbi Teischman's sermon for the last Friday night Shabbat service had relied heavily on the New Testament. The Rabbi was said to have been in great distress. That night, Rabbi Joseph Teischman went home and died of heart failure. He was only 57 years old.There could have been several medical reasons for Joseph's untimely death. He was not obese, but he was a heavy smoker and perhaps the cigarettes led to heart disease. His regular medical examinations indicated that his blood pressure was a bit high, but the doctors had not warned that a heart attack was imminent: But there was a heart problem that the doctors did not know about. Rabbi Teischman was aching to proclaim that he had become a follower of Jesus. As his faith grew, his need to tell about it also grew. Yet he could not face losing his job, losing the respect of the Jewish community and the possibility that his children might decide to have nothing more to do with him. He was too much of an insider to imagine that his decision for Christ would be tolerated. He was a man with a lot to lose, and he could not bring himself to let go. The pressure was killing him.The man who had prayed with Joseph was one of several who spoke at his funeral, which was attended by many Rabbis and Jewish community leaders. Rabbi Teischman's faith in Y'shua was alluded to at that time. It did not seem to surprise many. His friends had known that he had been repressing something. They just did not know what it was until his death.As far as is known, Rabbi Teischman's faith in Y'shua was chalked up to “personal problems,” and the lips of his corpse could not declare otherwise. But his death was a profound lesson to those who knew that he really loved Y'shua. For whatever might be said about Joseph, it appears that he died of a broken heart, broken because he felt unable to do what he most desired, which was to serve the Lord.Reprinted from Jews for Jesus,60 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94102 5895 This is a public episode.

Our latest episode with our new friend Rabbi Joseph Edelheit, who's promised to return several more times so we can learn from and listen to one another. Rabbi Joseph joined Johanna and me to share his reflections as a Jew living in Diaspora on the 10/7 Hamas massacre. We discuss other matters but never wander far from today's headlines. Here's a bit about Joseph:50 Years in the Rabbinate: Rabbi Joseph A. Edelheit (C '73) on the Unique Experiences of His Rabbinic Engagement:When I thought about becoming a rabbi as an undergraduate at CAL Berkely in 1966, I could never have imagined the extraordinary experiences I would have. For fifty years, people have asked me to engage them, teach them, and sometimes lead and interpret a meaningful ritual in their life.I have served three Reform congregations over thirty years in the Upper Midwest. where I learned what “windchill” meant. From the outset, the reality of interfaith couples and families became a central focus of my rabbinate. “Intro to Judaism” education and congregational programming have always been a significant concern.Eventually regional and national rabbinic work about gerim/gerut provided me with an opportunity to be a leading advocate for Patrilineal Descent. University teaching became important, especially Jewish-Christian dialogue, which led to an opportunity to do doctoral work at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago.HIV/AIDS emerged at a time when those who were among its first patients and deaths were alone and often rejected. I served this tragically unique community, which led to opportunities to lead in how Reform Judaism faced these challenges both in Chicago and nationally. Eventually my work was recognized, and I was asked to serve on President Bill Clinton's Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, 1996–2000.I retired from my congregational rabbinate in 2001 because of challenges to my health, and I finished my doctoral work (DMin) at the University of Chicago in 2001.A state university that settled a class-action lawsuit over antisemitism asked for my help. As part of the settlement, I created a program of campus and community engagement about Jewish culture. Eventually, I became tenured faculty, and retired as Emeritus Professor of Religious and Jewish Studies.Though I tried to bracket my rabbinate at a state university, my pastoral role was called upon by students, faculty, and administration alike. My academic career required teaching about and interpreting Jews, Jewish life and texts, and Judaism to a campus and community of less than fifty Jews.I helped to bring a unique symphony and choral Holocaust memorial program, “To Be Certain of the Dawn,” to the state university and a nearby Catholic university. We later took more than 250 students and faculty to France and Germany and performed it at Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp with survivors in the audience.During this period, there was an opportunity in India to continue my HIV/AIDS work with multi-faith organizations who worked among infected children whose parents had died of AIDS. I participated in creating an international NGO that funded and provided service for sixty AIDS orphans in rural India who were all living with HIV/AIDS. Engaging people who had never met a Jew, but invited me to share a meal while sitting on the floor of their hut, added to my life commitment of pluralism.My ongoing academic participation in the Society for Ricoeur Studies, is another unique experience of my rabbinate. I am the former student of Paul Ricoeur, who insists that philosophers and religious thinkers can and should engage in dialogue with a Jewish thinker.My participation in conferences, took me to Rio de Janeiro in 2011 when I was invited to speak to a Reform congregation, ARI. Now eleven years later, that unexpected Shabbat invitation, led to exceptional personal love and another chapter of my rabbinic life, serving the World Union of Progressive Judaism. I volunteer for Brazilian communities who have no rabbi, and whenever asked, I teach at ARI where it all started.During retirement I have written and edited two books with a third in preparation. The current crisis in antisemitism has added a new emphasis to my work in Jewish-Christian dialogue. I will co-teach a course at a Protestant seminary that deals with the challenges of preaching and teaching in response to antisemitism.In 2021, the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, honored me as their alum of the year, the first time a rabbi has ever been awarded this recognition.These fifty years were more meaningful because of the unconditional presence of my children. Still today, it is the love and respect of my family that I cherish the most.

In this enlightening episode, we sit down with Rabbi Joseph Dweck, a distinguished scholar and religious leader, to explore the fascinating world of the Maimonidean tradition and its relevance in today's spiritual landscape. We begin by addressing the question of whether the Maimonidean path lacks "spirituality" (and what that term even means). Rabbi Dweck delves into the common misconception that Maimonidean philosophy focuses more on rationality and intellectual pursuits, often overlooking the emotional and mystical dimensions of Torah. We uncover the profound spiritual depth within Maimonidean teachings and challenge the notion that spirituality is exclusive to other approaches. Next, we discuss the hesitation some individuals have in promoting their Maimonidean views, as it's relatively foreign to the mainstream and appears to clash with certain aspects of the more popular Kabbalah-oriented approaches. We then turn our attention to the question of what a Maimonidean community would truly look like. Often perceived as more suited for individual practice, we explore the potential for creating a thriving communal framework based on Maimonidean principles. Rabbi Dweck shares his thoughts on how such a community can foster a sense of unity and support while honoring the diverse spiritual journeys of its members. He also debunked the claim that the path of HaRambam is elitist, ivory-tower Judaism. Lastly, we tackle the challenge of presenting Torah to a new generation deeply immersed in a hyper-individualistic culture. Rabbi Dweck provides valuable perspectives on bridging the gap between the ancient wisdom of Torah and the contemporary mindset of individualism. We explore innovative approaches to engage and inspire the younger generation, empowering them to connect with Torah in meaningful and relevant ways. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey with Rabbi Dweck, unraveling the intricacies of the Maimonidean path, dispelling misconceptions, envisioning new community possibilities (as exemplified by The Habura), and exploring strategies for presenting Torah in a modern world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/judaismdemystified/support
