Why Doesn’t Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah? In his fascinating, new book, Rabbi Tovia Singer answers the nagging, age-old question, “Why Don’t Jews Believe in Jesus?”
by Baruch Gordon, Arutz Sheva February 15, 2010
Responding to missionaries who target Jews, renowned Rabbi and radio host Tovia Singer has authored an authoritative study guide for dealing with the fundamental, age-old question, "Why don't Jews believe in Jesus?"
Rabbi Tovia Singer is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on Jewish evangelism.
In contrast to most ecumenical Jewish-Christian literature published today, this book makes no attempt to reconcile the Synagogue and the Church. Quite the contrary, The Let’s Get Biblical Study Guide was written in direct response to the growing effort of numerous fundamentalist Christian organizations which aggressively target Jews for conversion.
The book methodically brings to light the fundamental reasons why Judaism does not accept the Christian messiah. It illustrates how the core teachings and doctrines of the Church are incompatible with the cornerstone principles declared by the Prophets of Israel, and are opposed by the most cherished tenets contained in the Jewish Scriptures.
The Let’s Get Biblical Study Guide further shows how, over the course of many centuries, the Church systematically and deliberately altered the Jewish Scriptures in its authorized translations of the Bible in order to persuade its adherents that Jesus is the promised Jewish messiah. To accomplish this task, Christian translators manipulated, misquoted, mistranslated and even fabricated verses in the Hebrew Scriptures so that these texts clearly appear to be speaking about Jesus. Consequently, Jewish people who are most vulnerable to Jewish evangelism are those who know least about the faith they have been asked to abandon.
