It records the shattering of one of Judaism's core beliefs and the remarkable equanimity with which the standard-bearers of Orthodoxy have allowed it to happen.

Download or read book Can the Rebbe Be Moshiach written by Gil Student and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his lifetime, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of blessed memory, was a highly successful religious leader. His brilliant scholarship and eloquent speaking touched hundreds of thousands of people. Larger than life and presiding in a post-Holocaust world during which Jews returned to the land of Israel in an unprecedented fashion, he was declared by many of his followers to be the Moshiach (Messiah) for whom Jews have waited for thousands of years. His death in 1994 should have dashed those hopes. However, many of his followers have advanced the position that even today the Rebbe can still be Moshiach. This book is an analysis of this position within the Jewish tradition. What do the doctrinally binding texts say about a dead man being Moshiach? In a presentation appropriate for both the layman and the experienced scholar, this work demonstrates from dozens of texts that according to the authentic Jewish tradition the Rebbe unfortunately cannot be Moshiach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MASHIACH: THE MESSIAH 13 PRINCIPLES OF JEWISH FAITHIn the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the Messiah is a High Priest or King of God's kingdom, in the Messianic Age. "The great codifier of Torah law and Jewish philosophy, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon ("Maimonides" also known as "The Rambam"), compiled what he refers to as the Shloshah Asar Ikkarim , the "Thirteen Fundamental Principles" of the Jewish faith, as derived from the Torah. Maimonides refers to these thirteen principles of faith as "the fundamental truths of our religion and its very foundations." The Thirteen Principles of Jewish faith are as follows: 1. Belief in the existence of the Creator, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists. 2. The belief in G-d's absolute and unparalleled unity. 3. The belief in G-d's non-corporeality, nor that He will be affected by any physical occurrences, such as movement, or rest, or dwelling. 4. The belief in G-d's eternity. 5. The imperative to worship G-d exclusively and no foreign false gods. 6. The belief that G-d communicates with man through prophecy. 7. The belief in the primacy of the prophecy of Moses our teacher. 8. The belief in the divine origin of the Torah. 9. The belief in the immutability of the Torah. 10. The belief in G-d's omniscience and providence. 11. The belief in divine reward and retribution. 12. The belief in the arrival of the Messiah and the messianic era. Ani Maamin B'emunah Sh'leimah B'viyat Hamashiach. V'af al pi sheyitmahmehah im kol zeh achake lo b'chol yom sheyavo. I believe with full faith in the coming of the Messiah. And even though he tarries, with all that, I await his arrival with every day. 13. The belief in the resurrection of the dead. It is the custom of many congregations to recite the Thirteen Articles, in a slightly more poetic form, beginning with the words Ani Maamin --"I believe"--every day after the morning prayers in the synagogue." I am pleased to proclaim the Arrival of the Mashiach: the Messiah, - Ibrahim the Beast, a Sign of the Hour. In Jewish eschatology, the belief in the eventual coming of a Messiah is a fundamental article of Faith, - [the Maimonides' 13 Principles of Faith]. Messiah ben Joseph will die sacrificing himself in preparation for the arrival of Messiah ben David who will usher in a period of Global peace. "Jewish tradition alludes to two redeemers, both of whom are called Mashiach and are involved in ushering in the Messianic Age: Mashiach ben David and Mashiach ben Yosef. In general, the term Messiah unqualified refers to Mashiach ben David (Messiah, son of David)." [1] [2] "According to Maimonides, Jesus of Nazareth is not the Messiah, as is claimed by Christians and Muslims."In the Holy Qur'an, the prophecy, [27:76-82], says: "Verily this Qur'an doth explain to the Children of Israel most of the matters wherein they disagree. ... And when the Word is fulfilled against them, We shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: he will speak to them ... ".

Download or read book The Jewish Messiah written by Arnon Grunberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-01-10 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new novel by the internationally acclaimed author- "a farce of nuclear proportions"(Vanity Fair) Arnon Grunberg is one of the most subtly outrageous provocateurs in world literature. The Jewish Messiah, which chronicles the evolution of one Xavier Radek from malcontent grandson of a former SS officer, to Jewish convert, to co- translator of Hitler's Mein Kampf into Yiddish, to Israeli politician and Israel's most unlikely prime minister, is his most outrageous work yet. Taking on the most well-guarded pieties and taboos of our age, The Jewish Messiah is both a great love story and a grotesque farce that forces a profound reckoning with the limits of human guilt, cruelty, and suffering. It is without question Arnon Grunberg's masterpiece.

Download or read book Mashiach written by D. A. Osterman and published by Jp Osterman.com. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson used to tell a story about how Jews interact with the Law of the Talmud that goes something like this: There were three rabbis arguing about the meaning of a point in the Torah--two for one interpretation, and one for the other. G-d overheard the argument, appeared to the three rabbis and said: "Actually, the one man here has the correct interpretation." At which point all three sighed and said, "Well, now it's tied. Let's go find Rabbi Osterman to get a fifth vote." # D. A. Osterman is not the Rabbi Osterman that the Rebbe referred to. However he has written a thoroughly researched discussion about Mashiach. His book is designed to shed some light on questions concerning the Jewish Messiah that have been posed by rabbi, Jewish scholars and just ordinary people for centuries and in some cases, Millennium. His background in research certainly comes through in his debut inspirational book, Mashiach. His hope is that you will find Mashiach to be a unique book that will leave you with a desire to search for further details about Mashiach.

Download or read book Let s Get Biblical written by Tovia Singer and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the Jewish and Christian Scriptures with the world renowned Bible scholar and expert on Jewish evangelism, Rabbi Tovia Singer. This new two-volume work, Let's Get Biblical! Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?, takes the reader on an eye-opening journey through timeless passages in Tanach, and answers a pressing question: Why doesn't Judaism accept the Christian messiah? Are the teachings conveyed in the New Testament compatible with ageless prophecies in the Jewish Scriptures? Rabbi Singer's fascinating new work clearly illustrates why the core doctrines of the Church are utterly incompatible with the cornerstone principles expressed by the Prophets of Israel, and are opposed by the most cherished tenets conveyed in the Jewish Scriptures. Moreover, this book demonstrates how the Church systematically and deliberately altered the Jewish Scriptures in order to persuade potential converts that Jesus is the promised Jewish messiah. To accomplish this feat, Christian "translators" manipulated, misquoted, mistranslated, and even fabricated verses in the Hebrew Scriptures so that these texts appear to be speaking about Jesus. This exhaustive book probes and illuminates this thought-provoking subject. Tragically, over the past two millennia, the church's faithful have been completely oblivious to this Bible-tampering because virtually no Christian can read or understand the Hebrew Scriptures in its original language. Since time immemorial, earnest parishioners blindly and utterly depended upon manmade Christian "translations" of the "Old Testament" in order to understand the "Word of God." Understandably, churchgoers are deeply puzzled by the Jewish rejection of their religion's claims. They wonder aloud why Jewish people, who are reared since childhood in the Holy Tongue, and are the bearers and protectors of the sacred Oracles of God, do not accept Jesus as their messiah. How can such an extraordinary people dismiss such an extraordinary claim? Are they just plain stubborn? Let's Get Biblical thoroughly answers these nagging, age-old questions.
