Here is a more accurate example of the teachings of modern Judaism: The following quotes are taken from former Rabbi Rachmiel Frydland's book When Being Jewish was a Crime In the book, Mr. Frydland gives an intimate description of the educational formation of young rabbinical students in the yeshiva and other rabbinical schools. Throughout his book the former Rabbi tries to maintain a loving, sensitive objective stance towards the overall teachings of modern Judaism and the Jewish people, but because of his Christian love of truth, he exposes modern Judaism's Babylonian Talmudic foundation as well as modern Judaism profound hatred and rejection of Jesus. It is important to remember that every young Jew who has gone through Rabbinical formation has been exposed to the talmudic myths and fables about Jesus as if they were divine truths. It is no accident that modern talmudic Judaism maintains an extremely biased and hostile attitude to both Christ and his Church. Here are former Rabbi Frydland's own words: Ch 5, page 51: "In these early years I had few contacts of any sort with Christianity. At about this time I learned the stories Of Jesus from the Jewish point of view. They are given in the infamous book of legends composed in the Middle ages and entitled Toledot Yeshua (The History of Jesus). Some of the material is already embodied in the Talmud: that Jesus was born an illegitimate child and He forced Mary His mother to admit it; how He learned sorcery in Egypt; how He made Himself fly up into the sky by sewing the ineffable name of Jehovah into the skin of his leg, but a famous rabbi did the same and brought Jesus down." Page 34 "The method of education in the yeshiva differed little from the previous schools, but we had longer hours of study..... The studies were now only talmudic. The teachers recited the lecture in the Mishna(the traditions) and the Gemara(the commentaries) the two parts of the Babylonian Talmud....We repeated and discussed the lecture after the teacher, and then we studied more of the Talmud by ourselves. Thus in the yeshiva, the Talmud reigned supreme. The Old Testament Bible could be used only for reference". P. 34,35 "I had no contacts with Christianity at all. On the way to school we passed a Roman Catholic church and a Russian Orthodox church, and we spat,, pronouncing the words found in deuteronomy 7:26, "thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing." I said it halfheartedly because of my previous favorable contact with Christianity and because some questions were beginning to creep into my mind. Why should we say such horrible words? The people looked so pious, and they never bothered us. ? "As I continued studying the Talmud, I came to a passage that told of a cruel punishment for that Sinner of Israel, meaning Jesus. For one sin of deriding the rabbis, He was punished forever and ever with cruelty as to be "judged in boiling excrement." I did not like this story at all. Did it really mean what it said? did not I also have doubts about the rabbis' claims (talmudic claims) that their teachings were given to Moses on Mount Sinai? What then would my punishment be? It was many years before I dared to proclaim these doubts openly." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are clear words from a former rabbinical student who experienced first hand the antichristians teachings of the Talmud. Of particular interest is the Toledot Yeshua (the history of Jesus) which exposes young rabbinical students to talmudic myths and fables as if they were authentic history. Emile
