Why Jews Don’t Follow Jesus
Living Lchaim
Rabbi Ken Spiro provides an in-depth analysis of why Judaism never embraced Christianity, focusing on the historical and theological reasons within a traditional Jewish framework. He evaluates historical records and primary sources concerning Jesus, often referred to as "Yushka" in Jewish discourse, and discusses the substantial differences in beliefs between Judaism and Christianity. A key focus is on the Jewish understanding of the Moshiach (Messiah) and why Jesus does not meet this criteria from a Jewish perspective. Rabbi Spiro's talk addresses misconceptions and clarifies what Judaism anticipates from the future redeemer, providing insights into Jewish identity and theology.
