Common misconceptions about Judaism

Is the Talmud a holy book?

No. We do not accept the Talmud as a holy book. Karaite Judaism also does not accept it as holy, although mainstream Rabbinic Judaism does.

What books do we accept as holy?

We accept as holy the books that do not contradict one another and that make coherent sense of how the world works and why things happen. Through comparative and objective reading, we concluded that the Tanakh, the Gospels, and the Quran do not contradict one another in their core message, while other religious texts do not provide a stronger or more coherent explanation of the world without already relying on ideas that are present in these three.

What if these books were altered over time?

We do not blindly follow what institutional religions declare to be holy; we judge by what is actually written. Mathematically and theoretically, the chance that these three bodies of scripture, written across roughly 2,000 years by many different people, would remain so coherent without a real underlying truth is extremely small.

Scripture itself warns against tampering with revelation. As it says in Deuteronomy 4:2: "Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it." If revelation were truly corrupted, then either God failed to preserve His word, or the biblical concept of God would collapse.

We will examine all of these possibilities objectively. You can trust us because we are not funded by any institution; we simply want to pursue the truth, just as you do.

תפיסות שגויות נפוצות על היהדות

האם התלמוד הוא ספר קודש?

לא. איננו מקבלים את התלמוד כספר קודש. גם היהדות הקראית אינה מקבלת אותו כקדוש, אף שהיהדות הרבנית המרכזית כן מקבלת אותו.

אילו ספרים אנו מקבלים כקדושים?

אנו מקבלים כקדושים ספרים שאינם סותרים זה את זה ושנותנים הסבר הגיוני לאופן שבו העולם פועל ולמה דברים קורים. בקריאה אובייקטיבית והשוואתית הגענו למסקנה שהתנ״ך, הבשורות והקוראן אינם סותרים זה את זה במסרם העיקרי, בעוד שספרי דת אחרים אינם מעניקים הסבר טוב או הגיוני יותר על העולם בלי להישען על מה שכבר נכתב בשלושת אלה.

מה אם הספרים האלה שונו עם הזמן?

איננו הולכים בעיוורון אחרי מה שמוסדות דת מכריזים עליו כקדוש; אנו שופטים לפי מה שכתוב בפנים. מבחינה מתמטית ותיאורטית, הסיכוי ששלוש המסורות הכתובות הללו, שנכתבו במשך כ־2,000 שנה בידי אנשים רבים ושונים, יישארו כה עקביות בלי אמת יסודית משותפת, קטן מאוד.

הכתוב עצמו מזהיר מפני שינוי ההתגלות. כפי שנאמר בדברים ד׳:ב׳: "לא תספו על הדבר אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם ולא תגרעו ממנו". אם הכתובים באמת הושחתו, אז או שאלוהים לא שמר על דברו, או שהמושג המקראי של אלוהים קורס.

נבחן את כל האפשרויות הללו באופן אובייקטיבי. אפשר לסמוך עלינו, כי איננו ממומנים בידי אף מוסד; אנו רק רוצים לחפש את האמת, בדיוק כמוכם.

Judaism and Conventional Science: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

In this article, we will present a concise set of strong arguments for why Judaism and conventional science are not two completely alien or radically different fields, and why Judaism, the term we use for the concept examined on this website, has greater legitimacy and grounding when compared with conventional science.

Chronology

Roots reaching back to the creation of the world.

Dated to year 1,656 from creation.

Why does human history span exactly 7000 years?

The six days of creation in Genesis 1 are followed by the seventh-day rest in Genesis 2:2-3. Psalm 90:4 says that a thousand years are like a day before God, and 2 Peter 3:8 repeats the same relationship. Hebrews 4:4-9 again points to the seventh-day rest. Read together, these passages form a pattern of six millennia of human history followed by a seventh millennium of rest. If this is not enough to convince you that this kind of time calculation is legitimate, we will go further by comparing biblical chronology with modern scientific and geopolitical predictions that appear to intersect with it.

About Judaism

The purpose of Judaism is not the blind observance of rituals, but a daily relationship with God, practicing what we learn, and awaiting the Messiah who will soon return...

היהדות משוכנעת שהמשיח יבוא. הוויכוחים עליו היו כה עזים עד שמהלך ההיסטוריה האנושית השתנה בגללם. אנו מאמינים שהמשיח אינו אלא ישוע מנצרת, אך הזמן יגיד.

Judaism is certain that the Messiah will come. Debates about Him have been so intense that the course of human history changed because of them. We believe that the Messiah is none other than Jesus of Nazareth, but time will tell.

Learning takes form through practice.

Prayer, commandments, days of rest and deliberate action turn text into a rhythm of life.

What is Judaism?

Judaism is a collection of teachings, facts, instructions and commandments from the one Creator of the universe, the Almighty God (YHWH, commonly pronounced as "Yahweh").

How old is Judaism?

Its roots stretch back to the very creation of the world. According to biblical chronology, the Earth was created in six days Why we understand the six days of creation as literal 24-hour days, and how that pattern connects with astronomy, nature, the Sabbath, and biblical symbolism. , and approximately 6,000 years Does an Earth billions of years old really contradict six-day creation? We examine Earth's age, the Flood, the modern age, and the proposed 1917-2037 prophetic pattern. have passed since that event.

On the sixth day, Adam and Eve were created. Before the fall, they observed moral laws and lived in direct communion with the Creator.

After the fall and the Flood, God gave Moses a role in communicating the commandments and writing the first chapters of the Bible. Around this, Judaism was formed as a covenant people committed to respecting and serving God through deeds.

Judaism is therefore as old as creation, approximately 6,000 years. If we refer to the people who first accepted the covenant, it is around 3,500 years old, dating from Moses receiving the commandments.
