Recently, we were sent a Times of Israel blog by its author, Rabbi Joel Hoffman, entitled, "Why Messianic Judaism is Fake." We thought this was a good opportunity to try our hand at doing a live reaction as we read it for the first time! There is much more that could have been said, and much that we could have said more clearly. Hopefully, it is edifying and entertaining nonetheless! If you'd like to see more content like this let us know!   If you'd like to hear a more careful presentation of what we discussed here, check out our videos "Does the Resurrection Prove Jesus is the Messiah? A Jewish Response to a Jewish Objection" and "Did Jesus Replace Judaism? A Messianic Jewish Response to Andy Stanley"   Link to article: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/why-messianic-judaism-is-fake/ [Accessed Dec. 30, 2021] _________________   0:00 – Intro 0:58 – Predicting what Rabbi Hoffman means by “Messianic Judaism is Fake” 5:40 – Reacting to Rabbi Hoffman’s comments on a Messianic rabbi praying in Jesus’s name at Mike Pence’s prayer rally in tribute to the eleven Jews murdered in Pittsburgh   10:33 – Reacting to Rabbi Hoffman’s “refutation of Christianity and Messianic Judaism in just 30 seconds” 13:11 – Was Jesus Torah observant? 17:51 – How can Jesus be the Messiah even though he did not fulfill the major criteria/requirements of the Messiah? _________________ You can also watch on our YouTube channel Follow us on Social Media: Facebook Instagram If you are looking for a way to support us and our work, you can become a monthly supporter on Subscribestar We also have: PayPal Merch shop ______________________   Music: https://www.bensound.com
