I live in Queens, NY and go to school at the Charles Feinberg Center. I have a younger brother Jon, and two cats Mitzy and Shadow. I'm usually very quiet but sometimes I can be very zany (Italian in me) and can be witty. I love to take long drives. Also I love Italian, Jewish, Mexican, Russian, Greek, Good ol' fashion American burgers and diners. Working out is a lot of fun and going to the beach. Deu. 4:37
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
and cast a wistful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie.
-An old hymn
I believe that Yeshua did not come to abolish the Old Covenant, and that as Jews we are still called to observe Jewish culture as described in the Bible because it has strong spiritual as well as physical meaning. I believe that Yeshua fulfilled the law by keeping it perfectly, and so therefore we are not bound by the law and are now under grace. However, this does not mean we can freely break whatever law we want, because we show our love to the L-rd by keeping his commandments which I believe is referring to more than just the big 10. Nevertheless, we do not have the temple so we are obligated to make atonement in another way until the Meshiach brings us the 3rd temple, and that is by accepting the final sacrifice given before the destruction of the 2nd temple: the death and resurrection of Yeshua HaMashiach. I believe we are still called to the covenant G-d has given our people, and the curses and blessings assigned to this covenant in Deu. 28 still apply to the Jewish people and their covenant with HaShem. Not only this but also Christianity has not replaced us, but Yeshua has made it possible so that all nations can now be redeemed and have a relationship with G-d, as well as that the Jews are now more and more becoming a light to the nations by spreading the news of the Jewish Messiah. That through our people G-d brought forth the Messiah to save the world if they should so choose to accept him through sincere faith and belief. With that said I believe that the Messiah is Yeshua (Jesus) the promised one through the line of David, and that Yeshua died for our sins, was resurrected, and will come again to accomplish the rest of what He promised i.e bring peace to the world as one example. I believe it is important that our fellow Jews come to know their Jewish Messiah because unfortunately it has become normal for Jews to not believe in Yeshua! We are told that believing in Jesus is a very non-Jewish thing to do when in fact Yeshua led a very Jewish lifestyle. Not to mention his first followers were Jewish and all the New Testament authors were Jews. However, this alone does not account for everything for there are over 70 Messianic prophecies in the Tanak that point to Yeshua as the Messiah. Many Jews claim these are fabrications or wishful thinking on the Christian's part. However, we cannot pick and choose what we believe is a fabrication in the Hebrew Bible just because it does not line up with our beliefs. Such claims of fabrication must be backed up with evidence, (or at least consideration of the others claims should be investigated before condemning or rejecting the others beliefs.) On the contrary it has been seen time and again that the manuscripts that have been found have been written with almost no scribal error. That the prophecies that point to Yeshua as the Messiah are based on scripture found in these manuscripts, and not some modern day watered down translation looking to deceive the Jewish people. If you have any questions, comments, or complaints feel free to write to me.
