Ancient Manuscripts Found in Taliban-Controlled Afghan Caves Shed Light on 1,000-Year-Old Jewish Community

JERUSALEM (TheBlaze/AP) — A trove of ancient manuscripts in Hebrew characters rescued from caves in a Taliban stronghold in northern Afghanistan is providing the first physical evidence of a Jewish community that thrived there a thousand years ago.
On Thursday Israel’s National Library unveiled the exciting cache of recently-purchased documents that run the gamut of life experiences, including biblical commentaries, personal letters and financial records.
Researchers say the “Afghan Genizah” marks the greatest such archive found since the “Cairo Genizah” was discovered in an Egyptian synagogue more than 100 years ago, a vast depository of medieval manuscripts considered to be among the most valuable collections of historical documents ever found.
Genizah, a Hebrew term that loosely translates as “storage,” refers to a storeroom adjacent to a synagogue or Jewish cemetery where Hebrew-language books and papers are kept. Under Jewish law, it is forbidden to throw away writings containing the formal names of God, so they are either buried or stashed away.
The Afghan collection gives an unprecedented look into the lives of Jews in ancient Persia in the 11th century. The paper manuscripts, preserved over the centuries by the dry, shady conditions of the caves, include writings in Hebrew, Aramaic, Judea-Arabic and the unique Judeo-Persian language from that era, which was written in Hebrew letters.
“It was the Yiddish of Persian Jews,” said Haggai Ben-Shammai, the library’s academic director.
Holding the documents, protected by a laminated sheath, Ben-Shammai said they included mentions of distinctly Jewish names and evidence of their commercial activities along the “Silk road” connecting Europe and the East. The obscure Judeo-Persian language, along with carbon dating technology, helped verify the authenticity of the collection, he said.
“We’ve had many historical sources on Jewish settlements in that area,” he said. “This is the first time that we have a large collection of manuscripts that represents the culture of the Jews that lived there. Until today we had nothing of this.”
The documents are believed to have come from caves in the northeast region of modern-day Afghanistan, once at the outer reaches of the Persian empire. In recent years, the same caves have served as hideouts for Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.
It remains unclear how the ancient manuscripts emerged. Ben-Shammai said the library was contacted by various antiquities dealers who got their hands on them.

Last month, the library purchased 29 out of hundreds of the documents believed to be floating around the world, after long negotiations with antiquities dealers. The library refused to say how much it paid for the collection, adding that it hoped to purchase more in the future and didn’t want to drive up prices. The documents arrived in Israel last week.
Comparisons with the other find are inevitable.
The Cairo Genizah was discovered in the late 1800s in Cairo’s Ben Ezra Synagogue, built in the ninth century. It included thousands of documents Jews stored there for more than 1,000 years.
Ben-Shammai said it was too early to compare the two, and it would take a long time to sift through the findings from Afghanistan. He said they were already significant since no other Hebrew writings had even been found so far from the Holy Land.
He said the Jewish community in the region at the time lived largely like others in the Muslim world, as a “tolerated minority” that was treated better than under Christian rule. Afghanistan’s Jewish community numbered as many as 40,000 in the late 19th century, after Persian Jews fled forced conversion.
By the mid-20th century, only about 5,000 remained, and most emigrated after Israel’s creation in 1948. A lone Jewish man remains in Afghanistan, while 25,000 Jews live in neighboring Iran — Israel’s bitter enemy.

The library promises the finds will be digitized and uploaded to its website for all to see.
Aviad Stollman, curator of the library’s Judaica collection, said much more would be gleaned after intense research on the papers, but already it tells a story of a previously little known community.
“First we can verify that they actually existed — that is the most important point,” he said. “And of course their interests. They were not interested only in commerce and liturgy; they were interested also in the Talmud and the Bible,” he said.
“They were Jews living a thousand years ago in this place. I think that is the most exciting part.”

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 4:44pmNot really.
First Afghanistan is NOT in Arabia. Arabia was the frankincense trail rather than the silk road as was Afghanistan. Arabian Jews were a small minority community who lived in the towns in the Hejaz. While Christians, Jews, and Buddhists were dominant across this portion of South Asia until the islamic hordes destroyed them while on crusade (jihad).
Second, Mohammad killed off the one tribe that sheltered him when he ran away fm Mecca.
Then his successors ran out or killed off the rest of the Jews and Christians indigenous to Arabia.
Third, muslims brag about those events in their own history.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 11:10amPerhaps this explains to me better why spiritual messengers of God sometimes teach of numbers, as on June 7, 1980, when a man asked, “Why is it so important that the thirteen come together again, twelve apostles and Christ?”
“(Chuckle.) The 13 is a symbol; the thirteenth is God, not Christ, as you would know him. The council need not be the same apostles you knew before. For what is in a name? The preparation for the coming of a messiah, for as you shall know, the number “13” is “4,” and “4” is the anointed one. When more than one, or even one, could stand and ask in our Father’s name, so shall He hear, and so shall He give that that is asked for. [See Acts, chapter 1 and 2:1-21, and John, chapter 14 and 15:7-11.]
You have other questions, ask….”

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 11:13amAnother asked: “Please name and tell us what each of the Seven Spirits of God represent and symbolize?”
“(Chuckle) Look within yourself, and you shall know. You talk of a sixth sense; is there not a seventh? In your Old Testament you speak of the seven Archangels. Or you may look at them as love, faith, hope, eternity — all of these things. When we told you of the Seven Spirits of God and their great task that God laid before them, before He created the earth and the universe, when He sent them forth — and we told you again, when He sent them out upon the mighty sea and how each returned — all of these things and more represent the Seven Spirits of God, for all things upon your universe was built on the numeral, “7.” For “7,” “9” and “13” may be found throughout the whole universe, into the smallest of the atom, and beyond. Look at the flowers, or a tree, or at your children, and know that within them dwell the Seven Spirits of God. And know that it is a wakening thing, one piece at a time that emerges forth. Remember this, that the Seven Spirits brought forth upon this earth, and all others, that that God wished them to. For is it not said, ‘Of our likeness, of our kind?’” [See Genesis 1:26-27.]

Israel is so lucky to have an army of evangelical retards that will call anyone who criticizes Israel an anti semite. And the jews who speak out against the actions of the israeli government are purported to be self hating jews by these same retarded evangelicals. Israelis have you morons wrapped around their finger. Funny thing is speaking the word of Christ to a jew in Israel is ILLEGAL! There is so much I wish you people could learn but your brainwashing is very strong and persistent.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 8:35pmYou are kidding, right? Israel is so multicultural they allow ANYONE to be there and speak whatever they want! Very much unlike any Muslim countries out there. There are mosques, as well as Catholic churches all over Israel! Not exactly the things you’d find if it were illegal to speak a word of Christ to any Jew. At least that’s how it was when I was there, oh, about 2 months ago! I highly doubt things have changed much since then. Let me guess, you’re one of those people who say it’s not anti-semetic for Muslims to refer to the Jews as pigs, but it’s racism to say that I can’t stand Obama’s policies. Am I right?

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 8:53amHow is it the twelve tribes? One reads it is but one of the tribes of Israel yet today the term taken from Judah (Jew) seems to engulf all the tribes. I get confused as to how this came to be.
Was not Israel the name used and given to the northern kingdom consisting of
the 10 tribes under Jeroboam; the southern kingdom was known as
Judah later to become Jews.
this bends and twist my understanding, then again the children of Japheth seem to be the ones who moved north and became the Anglo/Saxon race if I understand the Book. but I am no scholar just an old man who reads to learn and listens to wiser minds.

Actually Abraham (Abram) Had 6 sons by his first wife Leah. He then had 2 sons by Belhah, then 2 more sons by Zilpah, then 2 more sons by Rachel. In Gen 49:8-10 you can read where Jacob blessed Judah and gave him the authority over all of the other 11 sons. This authority would be till The Messiah comes. Kind of mixed up but that is the general idea.

I read and need to study further, it is clear there is more to the Zion than the window shows, in the shadows lurks truth and so I will go into the shadows to fine it.
Still the Sons of Japheth seem to be the northern Nations from this I am still confused as to the true Anglo/Saxon and then if it is so that my race comes from this line where would I be in relation to the Israelite? Would not the descendants of Tiras be these who were later converted to Christian.

If God was dealing with the line of Shem, where then does God stand with the line of Japheth, Are they but some error never to fall under the Truth or could it be that they are as Job and God finds his hedge around them for they are servants upright and perfect? Where is God on these. Why is all the failings found in just one of the children of Noah. still searching…

and he said “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”
Now no where do I see the curse nor the blessing applied to Japheth. Where is it that the sons of Japheth should be in need of a savior? Still searching …..

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 12:32pmIsrael was the name of the united community of 12 tribes plus Levi under Saul, David, and Solomon. Rehoboam lost the 10 northern tribes and their Levites when he tried being more brutal than his father in terms of taxes and forced labor. The northern tribes retained the name Israel while Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin were “Judah” since Judah dominated. Simeon was so intermixed w/Judah, it would be hard to separate him back out as an independent tribe.
Israel was lost when Assyria crushed it and resettled its remaining population into other parts of the Assyrian empire. Its policy was to take a conquered people and mix them in w/other conquered people to force the loss of ethnic identity. Other conquered people were settled where Israel had been. These became the Samaritans of the New Testament – “half-breeds” in the eyes of the Jews.
Judah fell to Babylon whose policy was to deport the rulers and other wealthy as an intact community. This ethnic group might pick-up odds and ends of folks who found the worship of one ethical God to be preferable to whatever else was on the “market.” It is this group which is repatriated by Cyrus of the Medo-Persian empire. Cyrus, a Mede rather than a Persian, was called messiah for having permitted the Jews to return to their homes. Those who had remained behind during the Exile were often as shunned as the Samaritans for having intermarried with non-Jews in the region. You can see this reflected in Ezra-Nehemiah in the OT

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 2:41pmIn the Bible, only Shem and Ham apply since the third brother would move away. Then the story further restricts the focus to Shem since fm Shem come the Patriarchs and Jesus. Other story elements only are mentioned as regards the key players. The Bible is not the history of the world, but the story of the history of one people – the community of faith.
Using what you have, Ham represents African peoples while Japheth represents all the rest of humanity while Shem speaks to Middle Eastern peoples. Ham also takes in the Canaanites who were Semitic-speaking people. Canaan, Phoenicia, Carthage — all the same group, just different names given where the were geographically located. Canaan was inland while Phoenicia was on the coast (think Tyre and Sidon). Carthage was colonized by the latter.
Semitic languages include: Akkadian (Assyria), Aramaic (neo-Babylon and post-Exilic Jews), Hebrews, and lastly Arabic. There were other dialects as well. Of the ones above, only Akkadian no longer is spoken, but the library of cuneiform tablets is extensive.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 7:14amHebrew language, there is none other like it. each letter has a numeric value and each letter has a a meaning and each word tells a story. For instance the word for “choice” in Hebrew has 3 letter and each letters meaning translates to be: God, friend or enemy.
The numeric value for the word pregnancy adds to the sum of 271 which is the total days of 9 months plus 1 day. Which further reduces by adding the numbers 2+7+1=10. Ten is the letter “Y” or YOD Meaning the Creative Hand. The Intelligence of Will.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 7:56amThanks for that….I used to do word studies with my Strong’s when I did a Bible study, and it adds so much more meaning when you discover that they chose one form of a word over another and what the difference would have been had they chosen a different one. I think that’s why the Hebrews had so many names for G-d. Jehovah Raffa is my favorite…G-d is my healer.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 8:50amLoriann, the different names of the Creator are used to describe the attribute of the Creator within the context of who, how, and what He is dealing. For instance, the attributes of judgement, mercy, omni presence, and so on. Thus, our goal being to become like the Creator, one can study His attributes when dealing with certain souls. Then one could research how each letter describes the attribute within the Name, which is an attribute itself…the depth is, well, deep, eh?
Now perceive how lifeless the english language is, and how we misuse and misrepresent words today. This is almost impossible in Hebrew as each word is more of a description of something, and each letter lends perfectly in some way, including numerically, to the description of it. For instance, we say we love all kinds of things; a sandwich, a car, a color. When translated from Hebrew, the word “love”is translated as “I Give.” Difficult to apply in many common uses of the modern day, yet shines a very practical light on how and why it is used biblically. God is love, right? The Creator is the attribute of bestowal, that is, love.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 5:21pmActually, His Name is YHVH as represented in English transliteration, likely pronounced Yahveh. You see it as Jehovah fm the German transliteration of the Hebrew yud-hey-vav-heh mixed with the Massoretic vowels for “Adonai.” Jehovah was a made up name before Christian scholars understood what the Massoretic scholars had done to preserve the “so holy, don’t speak THE NAME” Name.
“El” or “Elohim” (God in English) is also combined with other attributes giving an inkling of the majesty of His Holiness.
God never said we were not to use His Name. Jesus tells us to use His Name. What God abhors is when we use His Holy Name to dissemble! (You shall not use the Name – YHVH – profanely/in vain.)

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 2:48amYes God indeed bless Israel but who are we speaking of. 2nd kings 16:6 talks about the king of Israel joining forces with the king of Syria to go to war with the Jews. It’s the first time the name Jew is mentioned in the bible. It’s mentioned in reference to the son of Jacob, specificaly JUDAH and his decendants that made up the Tribe of Judah. He was only one son of Jacob. Jacob had 11 more. Now The Tribe of Judah together with the tribe of Benjamin made up the southern kingdom of Judah. It’s to these peoples the King of Israel refers to as Jews. But what of the other ones. The other 11 children of Jacob whom God renamed Israel? The other children of “Isreal” together became the northern kingdom of “Israel” (taking the name of their father). Jacob had 12 sons and Judah was only 1 of them. So out of all the Hebrews that came out of Egypt only 1/12th are Judahish or Jewish, not all of them. So you might think you know who might be a jew and what country they own, however there are 11/12ths of the millions plus people that are called jews but are not jews but are still Gods chosen Hebrew people who are the recpiants of the eternal covenant promise of God to Abraham. The covenant that said that God was going to make a Great nation and nations out of him. Kings and princes would come from him and all the world through him (his decendants) would be blessed, Not only The sons of Judah but the Sons of Issac (Abrahams son) or Is–sacs Sons …….Or Saxxons!

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 7:54pmTaxman — whether or not an ethnic group converts to Judaism or not, they are Jews. Judaism is a religion embracing multiple ethnic groups – Spanish and Middle Eastern Jews are typcially known as Sephardic while those with European ancestry (all over Europe) are known as Ashkenazi Jews. There accents are as different as an American in New Jersey is fm one in Birmingham. But like the Americans, they Ashkenazi and Sephardi are all Jews.
Judaism is NOT a racial sub-group of humanity. It’s a religion like Christianity or Buddhism are religions – both cross ethnic lines.
A true Jew is one who keeps Torah and loves God and neighbor!

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 7:37pmLook, truth be told, the Bible makes the Pharaohs of Egypt look pretty good. It was Abram who ran into trouble in Canaan and asked the Pharaoh of Egypt for a favor. It was Abram who lied to, and pimped, his half-sister wife, Sarah, to the Pharaoh in return for power and wealth, so Jewish. It was the Pharaoh who was magnanimous and permitted the lying, conniving, anything-for-a-buck, Hebrew to leave unscathed, and with all of his ill-gotten wealth.
Fact is, to any objective reader of Hebrew biblical history, the Jews almost always come out looking pretty bad according to the ethical standards adopted by most around the globe. Do we need to talk about David stealing another man’s wife and then having that man killed so that he could marry the adulterous whore? Or should we talk about Lot pimping his wife?

The decision among many Jews not to use AD and BC has nothing to do with hating Christians. Rather it has to do with what those terms actually mean. For me personally, as a religious Jew, using a term that, quite clearly, refers to Jesus as “our lord” or “savior” would be contrary to my own beliefs that he is neither. Depending on who you ask, you might even find those who say that it almost borders on blasphemy to speak of Jesus in such a way.

I’m the flip side of your coin, I find using BCE and CE offensive to my belief. Not using Before Christ and After Death is asking me to deny my faith and you are telling me the same thing in reverse, or is it I telling you in reverse? I think that coin is flipped many times. Though, I have to ask and I am not intending to offend, aren’t you ignoring the Lord God’s teachings through Isaiah and Daniel? That question has bothered me much, can you explain?

I’m not saying you can’t use BC or anything, merely explaining why I never do. Also, AD doesn’t stand for “after death”. It stands for “anno domini” which is Latin for “year of our lord”. Jesus isn’t my lord so I cannot use that term in good faith.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 7:24pmNone of this is rocket science to those versed in history. Khazars of Khazaria converted to Judaism in the 9th century, and the Khazar Empire was further north, north of the Caucasus mountains, and extending into eastern Europe (as far as Poland) and western Asia. None were descendents of Abram, and thus put to rest all of the make-believe claims made by most Jews of today who are European and/or Western Asian.
The origin of the Jews represented in this article remains to be seen.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 7:47pmThe Khazars–or more likely just their Khans–were converted in the 8th century or before, not the 9th. They were not descendants of Abraham, as indeed most Jews were probably not lineal descendants of Abraham, but that’s neither here nor there, as most European Jews have little Khazar ancestry anyway. Genetic studies as well as reputable history link them with the Mediterranean region, and ultimately to the Middle East, not Central Asia.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 8:33pmLloyd Drako, you and I both know that those genetic studies were not conclusive. Here’s something that I couldn’t make up:
http://www.palestineremembered.com/Acre/Maps/Story800.html
Now, I know that you may balk at that source, so let’s turn to Kevin Alan Brook’s book, “The Jews of Khazaria.” Chapter 6, page 113, deals with “The Khazars’ Conversion to
Judaism.” In this chapter he describes the historical conversion of Kagan Bulan, and he presents the arguments of Yehudah ha-Levi’s and Constantine Zuckerman’s discrepancies in dates. What we do know is that there was a Constantine-type conversion to Judaism throughout the Empire, that continued through the 9th Centuy A.D.. We know the extent of the Empire, and we know that it extended well into eastern Europe.
It’s real. And, it’s out there for anyone willing to study. Oh, and it is a Jewish written book.

Your source doesn’t prove that Ashkanezi Jews aren’t descended from Abraham because there were Jewish communities all across central Europe centuries before Khazaria. In fact, a link you used to provide regarding that book featured the following sentence: “The final chapter enumerates the Jewish communities of eastern Europe which sprung up after the fall of Khazaria and proposes that the Jews from the former Russian Empire are descended from a mixture of Khazar Jews, German Jews, Greek Jews, and Slavs.”
Here are some real facts Jerk:
-Ashkenaz is a term that refers to a region that is in modern day west Germany which became the cultural center for European Jews living under Catholicism (Khazaria originated in modern day Turkey)
-The language spoken by Ashkenazim is Yiddish, a language primarily derived from Hebrew and German with some Eastern European languages also influencing it (such as Polish and Russian). Khazarian language is related to Turkish.
-There were Jews living in Europe before the Great Revolt of 70 CE, even within Rome itself. That puts them there over 600 years earlier than Khazaria.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 9:43amEdomites follow the Tribe of Judah back from Babylon after 70 AD. Edomites are Sephardic Jews not Israelites. Edomites/Sephardic(5% of Jews) Jews converted the Khazars/Ashkenazi(95% of Jews) Jews to Talmudic Judaism. So non Israelites converted non Israelites to non Judiasm because the Talmud is Babylonian and was never taught to the Jews by God the Father to the Israelites. You can’t make yourself chosen!!! God made a blood covenant with the 12 Tribes of Israel, 10 tribes were cast out and believed to be Europeans, French, German, Irish, Italian etc. Encyclopedia Judaica says that Edom makes up of modern Jewery. No one knows who the real tribe of Juda is but the Khazars are not it. Sephardic Jews who are Edomites dwelt among the real Jews and very few mixed and the ones that did God ordered the marriages be annulled!!

You have no clue of anything of which you speak. I know an education won’t cure you of your hatred and baseless rantings but the light of truth should be shined on your comment.
1. The Talmud is not babylonian. The mishnah on which the Talmud is based was written in Israel. It was the first writing of the verbal instructions given with the torah to Moses, without it the laws can’t be observed properly. For example in the torah it says in order to eat a kosher animal it needs to be slaughtered as I have instructed you but nowhere in the torah are there instructions for how to slaughter there is a commandment to observe the sabbath but once again no instructions as to how. Those are 2 small examples.
2. Edomites are the descendants of esau as he was called Edom from when he sold his first born rights to Jacob. Edom is also the Hebrew word for the roman Empire.
3. The word sefard in Hebrew means either Spain or France so sedardic Jews are from Spain but they joined the mizrachi Jews in the middle east after the expulsion. Sometimes mizrachi Jews are called sedardic. But mizrachis stayed in middle east.
4. Many Mizrachi Jews can trace their heritage back to king David’s time and some as early as the exodus.
5. Dna testing has shown that cohanic ashkenazi Jews and mizrachi Jews share with unique paternal Dna showing a common ancestor. (aaron).
So please don’t comment about things you clearly know noth

The lines of Japheth crossed with Cain and made God upset, only 1 of Cain with 1 of Japheth before the Noah’s ark.Then Esau married into Canaanites, Hittites etc. The Christian world disagrees that the Mishnah/Talmud are the unspoken words of Moses. They are the complete anthesis of the Torrah/OT and negate the 10 commandments. No mainstream Christian religion honers that evil book that claims Jesus is boiling in excrement in hell and that a Jew can murder, lie or steel, cheat, charge usary along with other guttural things to anyone other than a fellow Jew and it’s ok and not a sin!!! Do you really think God would permit such things!!! People today claiming to be Jews are not Jews. They’re Edomites. It’s in many early Jewish Encyclopedias. Khazars are not Jews and never have been. You should read about your future in Ezekiel 38 – 39. I don’t know who the real Jews are but the 10 lost tribes are all the European nations except for the Khazars which are God and Magog! Thats why the devil wants to destroy the white Christian nations with globalism, communism, socialism and multiculturalism. Once the real Israel (White Europeans) get punished a little more and cry to God in sincere pray God will come to his people.

Posted on January 4, 2013 at 7:58pmMGINDI, Before the destruction of the 2nd temple in 70 AD the vast majority of the Tribe of Judah, Benjamin and Levi converted to Christianity. The Edomites were left in Judah when the temple that was rent in the middle because of the crucifixion of the messiah, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was destroyed.
The Mishnah that made up the early books of the Talmud were not of God either but were handed down by the Edomites(descendants of Esau who’s name was changed to Edom after he sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage) in Babylon. That why Jesus was upset with the Pharisee’s(Edomites) who were corrupting Christians with these perverted teaching. Jesus only apostle that was an Edomite was Judas and so was Herod. After Jerubbaal, Nehemiah returned from Babylon there were more Edomites dwelling in Judah than Israelites from the Tribe of Judah, Benjamin and Levi. Levites were only permitted to be priests after the Golden Calf insident when the Levites slaughter 3000 of the people worshiping the Golden Calf and thats how the Leviticle priesthood was established.
There is a Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud trumps everything in Talmudic Judaism including the Torrah. It is much different that what was practiced by the Tribe of Judah, Benjamin and Levi and there is no record of the or Mishnah before the exile of the remaining tribes in Babylon. Atilla the Hun wasn’t an Israelite! All those that believe in Jesus Christ are chosen in the new

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 1:06amEdomite — I find your recitation of events rather curious. The Pharisees were to become what we know today as Rabbinic Judaism. They were fully Jews, just as Jesus and Paul were Jews. They were not Edomites.
Herod was half-Jew and half-Idumean, who were remnants of Edom and other groups settling in the area after the Assyrians resettlement policies and a natural mixing of groups who moved to the region and settled down. The Edomites, Moabites, Canaanites, Jubusites, Hittities, and Philistines were all groups who lost their unique identities to history and conquest. Jews did not lose their identity, which really bugs some folks out there. In the 1st century on both sides of Jesus, Judaism was a proselytizing religion. Christianity followed in those footsteps as Paul notes when he starts his ministry in synagogues all around the Med.
As to the Talmud — you might want to read it before bashing it. Much of it is a running conversation related to the study of Torah and its interpretation. Yes, there are small sections which speak against Christianity, but the vast majority of it is compatible w/how Christians see the OT. You may want to read the Pirke Avot to better understand Jewish tht.
Christians are grafted into Abraham by faith to become, shall we say, the 13th tribe. Anyone who converts to Judaism is equally grafted into the the family of Abraham by faith. God views the adoption as valid as physical birth to a Jewish mother. IT”S ABT FAITH not blood!

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 12:10pmElena2010, Nice revisionist history. Jesus was never a Jew (Edomite, Khazar, Sephardic Jew). He had a bloodline from Adam through Jacob and David. A very distinct blood through the House of David that were known as the Essenes. To say Jesus was a Jew by todays definition of Jew is blasphemous!!! Read my link at the top of this thread please. Christians are the only ones chosen to enter the kingdom of God, only through Jesus Christ. You can’t get to the father but through the son!!!!! The names of Jews, Judah, Israelites and Judeans have been purposely distorted to confuse Christians into believing todays Jews are the only chosen people instead of being mostly Asiatic Turk Mongols. Maybe the media should take up this debate because it’s so important!!! Wonder why they don’t??? Lol! You know when you’re called an anti-semite you’re on the right track. See we want to discuss facts where the media and deceivers want to use/trigger emotion because the facts aren’t on there side. If they were they could decimate you with facts and put an end to the debate but it will never be debated. If it was like all things they would control both sides of the debate by having a weak historian putting forth a lame argument to make their side win or with the case of Israel, only hear there side with no challenging questions!!!

Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier, I was observing the biblical sabbath as commanded by G_d.
I wonder sometimes if people as yourself do any anylitical thinking. You just wrote that the Jews don’t represent the 10 tribes but only Judah. Then you say that of all the people living there only Jesus was a descendant of Jacob. You also say that Jesus was a descendant of King David. But wait David was from Judah so if Jesus is his descendant Jesus is a jew. But wait you also say that Jesus is not Joseph Mary’s husbands son, but the bloodline from king David goes through Joseph who isn’t related to Jesus. Meaning Jesus isn’t a descendant of David(or Jacob etc..). So you’re entire rant doesn’t make any sense. Another problem you have is that you base your entire theory of ashkenazi Jews being khazars on no evidence. The closest thing could be the book called the kuzari but you have no idea if it’s historical or allegorical. As for your sedardic Jews being Edomites that theory has no basis. Sorry Ed, but only fringe wacko people espouse any of your theories. And the history goes very much against you. I won’t convince you as you aren’t interested in facts, you just want to justify hating G-ds chosen by trying to claim they aren’t authentic. But I just wanted to let thinking people realize that you have no credibility. Also without reading scripture in original form you can only quote someone’s interpretation without knowing if it’s accurate.
