Gather Around the Christmas Tree

Where did the Christmas tree come from? The Christmas Tree is a representation of a phallus (male sexual organ), which was the spirit of fertility in ancient times. Gifts from the tree actually symbolize what springs from the phallus. Do you know what an obelisk is? They date to the time of Tammuz. In later Egyptian history they were used to represent a petrified ray of the sun disk. Prior to that they were... (posted by Rabbi Stanley 46 days 23 hours ago.)

Do Animals Go To Heaven?

A few days ago my dog passed away. He was a dachshund named "George". I've had this particular breed since I was a child and I always loved them. George was a good dog, he felt he was the protector of the weak. Even when he saw someone play-fighting he always went after the aggressor and tried to bite them in order to help the "victim" (in his little mind). A few days before he died I was doing...

Should a Woman Ever Wear Tephillin or Tallit?

I have always felt in my spirit that it was wrong for women to wear tephillin or wear tallit. I've seen them worn in some Messianic Synagogues and for some reason, I never returned to those congregations.

Call no man "Rabbi"

I've recently been debating with a group of people concerning Mathew chapter 23... 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not...
