We also talked about these questions: ~Fights about the calendar are nothing new, so what did the sages do? ~A beautiful story about the relationship between rabbi and disciple ~Why does the Hebrew word for Torah-observance also means Exodus? ~"Our Father who art in Heaven", is that a Christian or a Jewish prayer? ~How much of the synagogue service is from Yeshua's time and WWJD?
