In this episode of Case for Messiah, we explore the profound influence of Yeshua (Jesus) and the New Testament on rabbinic Judaism. Throughout this conversation, we highlight three key ways in which this influence is evident: the reading of the weekly haftarah (prophetic portion), the development of oral law, and the Aramaic translation of the Torah.
A striking revelation emerges as the absence of certain key passages from the prophets in synagogue readings—passages that hold significant importance in the New Testament for identifying Yeshua as the Messiah, is discussed. This deliberate omission or alteration suggests a nuanced relationship between Judaism and Christianity, prompting deeper reflection on shared theological heritage.
