[edit] Your Statement "I find it hard to believe"

You find what difficult to believe, exactly? Please notice that by "Torah-observant" Messianics do not generally mean "Orthodox"; they consider the written Torah foundational, and the Talmud a subservient commentary that can be kept a bit more leniently. Please respond in ENGLISH, and not in any mix of Hebrew-English, Yiddish-English, or Yeshivish. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noogster (talkcontribs) 16:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

If "Messianics" considered Torah foundational they would not believe that their leader was a man-god, nor disparage the Oral aspect of the dual Torah and the received Messorah. This Noogster is obviously the type that was warned about in Devarim 13 and one musn't listen to or even argue with him (see R' Chill's exhortation in The Mitzvot).Wlmh65 01:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
My colleague here isn't recognizing how wide the gamut of the term "Messianic Judaism" truly is. I, personally, am a strict monotheist so I do not really believe that Yeshua HaMashiach is/was divine (tho I do believe in his pre-existance, which happens to be very Jewish less Maimonides), don't believe in the "trinity", and I don't believe in a personal Satan. The following is good reading on the topic: http://www.mikvehyisrael.com/trinityone.html I do not consider there to be a "dual Torah" (mainly because the written Torah never references the Oral); there was a written and holy Torah given to Mosheh, which is essentially inalterable, and then there is the traditional interpretation of the Torah beginning with Mosheh on Sinai and developing all the way to the present day, exemplified and recorded in the Talmud, and which we can comfortably call the "Oral Torah", as it is the authoritative and traditional interpretation of the Torah.

[edit] Electricity

You may wish to read HRH"G R' Shlomo Zalman ZTL's psak in Minchas Shlomo as well as the various teshuvos of R' Moshe ZTL on electricity. Most poskim believe only incandescent lightbulbs are Issurei D'oraysah due to Bishul. The Chazon Ish ZTL's psak of Boneh notwithstanding (and R' Shlomo Zalman goes through great pains to argue), the issurim of electricity are d'rabbanan. So, even with Eidim and Hasra'a, most poskim would not consider this a Skilo offense. More importantly, you seemed to have missed my point (intentionally or otherwise) about the ma'ase ksiva. No dyo, no individual letters, only the phosphorescent afterimages of excited chemicals in a CRT and the optical illusin caused by electrically charged dots of liquid crystal. You may find a brief chazara of Hilchos Shabbos together with a posek rather stimulating. image:smile.png. Kol Tuv, -- Avi 04:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tefillin/Peyos

I think the peyos part is OK, because it's a "really" specialized article. The tefillin article, I think has too much information in it already and it doesn't really need the extra superfluous information. There's no real encyclopedic point in how different groups put on tefillin. Besides, how accurate is it? I know litvaks that wear upside down shins, and what about the daled on the shel rosh? Double or single?

I understand, but what really is the point in differentiating among the chassidishe sects how tefillin is worn? It's like writing an entry that a Chaim Berlin guy will wear his hat all the way up, and an Israeli Charedi will wear a Borsalino with the Borsalino tag visible, while American "charedim" will not wear a hat with a visible Borsalino logo. If you want, you can put it back, but I think it takes away from the article. Yossiea 20:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I confirm that I am the same user as 192.168.1.109 --Shuli 20:50, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chardal

We already reached a consensus on this. Just because you don't believe they are charedi doesn't make it so. They are charedi, they are Charedi Data Leumi. Furthermore, as anyone in Israel can attest, MO is not the same as RZ or Chardal. They might intermingle at points but they are not one and the same. For more information, you should read the main Chardal article and see all the relevant talk pages. Yossiea (talk) 18:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Civility

That was his name, and he is known as such in the English Speaking world so back off you Meshuge, your a vilda chaya, a shmuck, a shmendrick, a shlimiel, a shil).Special:Contributions/Shaul_avrom.

[edit] Editor review

I reviewed you. YechielMan 15:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please review these articles

Could you have a look at these articles and their talk?

I feel the articles are extremely well sourced and balanced. I'd like somebody else to remove the tags. Please look at my last versions, because I have run up against somebody from the evolution/creation universe who wants to pick a fight. --Metzenberg 03:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I really need your help here. ZayZayEM is engaging in troll-like behavior, such as making edits on the very materials I am editing, removing materials immediately after I add them, and so forth. It is a harassment pattern that extends across multiple articles. The main articles involved are:
* Jewish reactions to intelligent design
* Jewish opposition to evolution
* Natan Slifkin
It is bizarre behavior, because I can see no reason why he is even interested in this material. As you and I both know, it is material you have to really understand well to edit. Over the last week, I have substantially rearranged all the materials on Judaism and evolution in an effort to clean up the main Judaism and Evolution page first of all, so that it can be turned into a page that is not dominated by issues (such as the Slifkin affair) that would have undue weight. ZayZayEM has simply made it impossible for me to work. He has followed me from one article to another, demanding arbitrary changes. many of his edits, and his changes, show that he knows very little about the subject, which as you and I both know, is quite abstruse at times. --Metzenberg 16:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The notzri religion

I am well aware of the lies of the notzri religion; the religion is a lie, a diametric corruption of the authentic (historically verifiable, see Harvey Falk, Geza Vernes, Hyam Maccoby, E.P. Saunders, James Parkes, Jerusalem Synoptic School) Torah teachings of Ribi Yehoshua of Nazareth, the rYb"Y. I do not in any way identify with that religion or its sun-g*o*d worship. Rather I identify with the Netzarim movement within Orthodox Judaism (http://netzarim.co.il/), an accurate reconstruction of the 1st-century Beit Hillel establishment of the same name, rejecting Qabbalist superstition in favor of more halakhically sound rMb"M/Teimani leanings and such. The belief that he was born of fornication is historically unverifiable (do not lower yourself to the methods of the mentioned notzri religion). There is no need for me to follow my own eyes: the 1st-century followers of the Tzadiq are without outside deference my example. Paqid Yirmeyahu ben David is among the top brass in scholarship on this subject. His reconstructions of various "NT" texts (including, and foremost, the Hebrew account from Matityahu ha-Leivi) from every extant related text demonstrate conclusively that the Davidic genealogy is among the more unmolested/non-redacted features. While I have no doubt that this person is the Mashiakh, even if it were somehow disproven all other attributes of his blessed memory be intact. Noogster 03:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
