Mesora
"O L-RD, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, 'Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail! Can a man make gods for himself, and they are no gods? 'Therefore, behold I let them know; at this time I will let them know My power and My might, and they shall know that My Name is the L-RD".
Jeremiah 16:19-21

Mysticism & Judaism …

January 23, 2013

Moshe Ben-Chaim Introduction The pursuit of truth demands that we abandon any belief when it is exposed to be false, i.e., rejected by reality.

No Politics when Learning Torah – Ibn Ezra on ‘Magic’

April 9, 2012

Why These Ten Plagues?

April 6, 2012

Moshe Ben-Chaim   The purpose of the Ten Plagues was not to destroy Egypt, but to offer the primary lesson to that idolatrous culture: “The God of creation and of Abraham is the only God…and Egyptian deities are imaginations.” God desires the good for all mankind.

Religion Requires Validation …

February 20, 2012

Moshe Ben-Chaim Unfortunately still viewed as a taboo, Jewish education does not expose the fallacy of other religions, enabling the unparalleled, exclusively true status of Judaism to shine bright.
