It is like some chareidim who look down and are rude to the non-observant Jews and by that prevent them form doing teshuva. Please teach but be a bit more polite.<BR/><BR/>About the Sanhedrin, the Torah gives the Sanhedrin permission to make rulings about the law. Since the Sanhedrin and the majority of the Jews, according to the Christian Bible, did not accept Yeishu, how can any Jew (G-d forbid) or any Bible-believe accept him?<BR/><BR/>KL, stop by more and please correct me whenever I am wrong in matters of Torah. Just please be a bit nicer ;) Remember, Pirkei Avot says to greet everyone with <EM>sever panim yafot</EM>, a smile and a friendly countenance.Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156322358503174356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-20044669311482956562007-11-28T13:49:00.000-08:002007-11-28T13:49:00.000-08:00BK, in this you are incorrect both in your answer ...BK, in this you are incorrect both in your answer to the Goy Frank Family and on the Rambam.<BR/><BR/>Towards the Rambam, it is true in most areas we do not follow his Halachot right out of the Mishne Torah. Though Rav Yosef Cairo often follows the Rambam. But in areas in which the Shulchan Aruch is silent, Rav Yosef Cairo said we are to follow the Rambam. This tends towards political matters certain definitions such as Avodah Zara, Ben Noach, matters such as freeing Jews from captivity.<BR/><BR/>As for Frank family, the words of the Chachamim are the related words of the Mesorah and are law. After the Torah was revealed on Har Sinai Hashem gave the power to decide questions of Halacha into the hands of the Sanhedrin, when the Sanhedrin was dissolved(though it will be fully restored) the power went into the individual Gedolai Yisrael, though they must have a source from the Mesorah before speaking. <BR/><BR/>Goyim have no place to speak in matters of Halacha, not now or ever; so for your own sake be silent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-28976029037408187532007-11-26T15:09:00.000-08:002007-11-26T15:09:00.000-08:00Frank Family: Nobody takes the Rambam's words as l...Frank Family: Nobody takes the Rambam's words as law. There no Jewish groups (except for certain Yemenite congregations) that accept the Rambam's opinions on <EM>halakhah</EM>, practice, though he was a great Torah scholar and we study his works. The Rambam, however, is simply explaining how Christianity and Islam, which seem to have brought only death and pain to the nation of Israel, really have a role to play in the redemption of mankind and the coming of the moshiach.<BR/><BR/>Angel: He actually speaks a lot about Yoshke and Mo in his Epistle to Yemen when he encourage the beleaguered Jews to remain steadfast in their faith despite persecution. The Rambam even calls our favourite pseudo-prophet 'a madman'!<BR/><BR/>As the Hebrew expression goes: "From Moses (the Lawgive) to Moses (Maimonides) there was none like Moses".Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156322358503174356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-12882851013250818022007-11-26T13:22:00.000-08:002007-11-26T13:22:00.000-08:00hey there Bar...thanks for sharing this..I hadnt s...hey there Bar...thanks for sharing this..I hadnt seen this Rambam..and cant believe he even mentions the RoP!..hehWomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-6361838795299832802007-11-25T20:18:00.000-08:002007-11-25T20:18:00.000-08:00What do any of these words have to do with Christi...What do any of these words have to do with Christianity or Judaism?
