Letter to my Rabbi

I was doing some internet surfing sometime ago, and I found something by Naftali Zeligman titled, Letter to my Rabbi. I read it, and it appeared to be the documentation of letter exchanges between him and his Rabbi. The contents of the discussion make up some fascinating reading. I personally thought that it was a very interesting discussion. Let me know what you think after reading it entirely? The link is provided below:

  1. Are the Bible and the Torah less important than the Talmud? Maybe or perhaps only in the Ethiopian Jewish tradition.

    In the new testament after the resurrection of Jesus Christ( Yeshu), the book of Acts 3:1- 10 tells us a story of someone that is healed. In Acts 4: 5-12, we are told of what happened because of this healing. Peter and John were sent before the Sanhedrin to be judged, but they really did not know what to do because the people were praisng God for the miracle.

    My question with relavance to the foregoing is did events such as this in the early church began to stir up more hatred towards Christians
    ? Perhaps some of the answer is found in the Talmud.

    Michael Hoffman, foremost scholar of Judaism in the English-speaking world wrote the following:

    "Truth about the Talmud: Racist, Rabbinic Hate Literature"

    The full content of Michael Hoffman's writing are found in the link below, and perhaps they reveal some truths on the Talmud that most people do not know:

  2. I am aware that I use New Testament references in my previous comment, and that is because I am a Christian, and I do believe that with the thousands of ancient manuscripts in many languages, it is a true source for information.
