The Talmud is Judaism's holiest book (actually a collection of books). Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. Evidence of this may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament).”

The late Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik (above) was regarded as one of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, the "unchallenged leader" of Orthodox Judaism and the top international authority on halakha (rabbinic law). Soloveitchik was responsible for instructing and ordaining more than 2,000 rabbis, "an entire generation" of Judaic leadership. N.Y. Times reporter Ari Goldman described the basis of the rabbi's authority:

“Rabbi Soloveitchik came from a long line of distinguished Talmudic scholars...Until his early 20s, he devoted himself almost exclusively to the study of the Talmud...He came to Yeshiva University's Elchanan Theological Seminary where he remained the pre-eminent teacher in the Talmud...He held the title of Leib Merkin professor of Talmud...sitting with his feet crossed in front of a table bearing an open volume of the Talmud.” —New York Times, April 10, 1993, p. 38.

Nowhere does Mr. Goldman refer to Rabbi Soloveitchik's knowledge of the Bible as the basis for being one of the leading authorities on Judaic law. The rabbi's credentials are all predicated upon his mastery of the Talmud. The Mishnah, the initial section of the Talmud, is based on the Oral traditions of the first century Pharisees, which Jesus confronted during His lifetime. Hence, Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees, not of God or His Holy Word.

Judaism is Not the Religion of the Old Testament

Time to face Haredi secret

By Efrat Shapira-Rosenberg

“Not too long ago I happened to speak with a young man who studies at one of the ‘flagships’ of the Haredi yeshiva world; a yeshiva which is no doubt among the most important and elitist ones. We spoke about various issues, and at one point I referred to a certain Biblical character I'm especially fond of. This figure was not one of the Bible's leading actors like Abraham or Moses, but it was not a particularly marginal character either, but rather, an interesting and significant one in my view; one that conveys an important message to biblical scholars. So why am I telling you all this? Because the guy had no idea what I was talking about.

“He never heard about this figure, he was unfamiliar with it, and he was certainly unfamiliar with the important messages it teaches us...the time has come to shatter the myth and explicitly address the most open secret which we all have known for a while now – Haredi education in its various yeshivas only focuses on one thing, while creating ignorant students on every other front.

“An important clarification: I am not referring, like secular critics, to the Haredi disregard for subjects such as math, science, English literature, etc...This is a different problem. The issue I have is with the fact that the vast majority of yeshivas only teach Talmud and related questions and answers. That's it. What about the Bible?

“I am not disparaging, Heaven forbid, the importance of the Talmud. Yet for once let's talk about the religious people who strictly adhere to the mitzvahs, yet are unfamiliar with the Bible...And this is not an anomaly – this is the norm. The only Biblical verses familiar to yeshiva students are those quoted by Talmud sages, and that's that. The Bible is seen as a sort of inferior genre that is appropriate for young children (or for women)...”

Haredi = an Israeli word for Hasidic Judaics, such as Chabad.

Yeshiva = Judaic religious academy.

Since God already gave the Torah to the Jewish people on Mt. Sinai we no longer pay attention to heavenly voices. God must submit to the decisions of a majority vote of the rabbis.”

—BT Bava Metzia 59b

TORAH: This word is Orthodox Judaism's badge of authority. The rabbis proclaim that they have the Torah, have mastered the Torah, base their laws on the Torah and that they are Torah-true. Yet these rabbinic claims are a deceptive play on words, for the "Torah" which they base their laws upon is not the Old Testament, but the formerly Oral Tradition of the Pharisees known as the Torah SheBeal Peh, consisting of the Mishnah and Gemara, which comprise the Talmud, as well as subsequent enactments by esteemed rabbinic legal authorities.

Consequently, when the rabbis are boasting about their relationship with the "Torah," Christians are deceived into imagining that the rabbis are harkening to the Old Testament, known as the Torah SheBichtav. Actually, Orthodox Judaism’s law has no basis in the divine Old Testament. Instead, Judaism’s laws emanate from the man-made Talmud (Torah SheBeal Peh).

The non-Biblical basis of Judaism is acknowledged in the Mishnah itself:

“The laws concerning the Sabbath, Festal-offerings and acts of trespass are as mountains hanging by a hair, for they have scant Scriptural basis but many laws” —Mishnah Hagiga i, 8.

Judaism’s arcane texts secretly admit that the Talmud is not of Moses, rather it is “where Moses is buried.” —Tikkunei Zohar 1:27.

When faced with the claim by the rabbis of their supposed “Torah” faith, Christians ought to ask them, to which "Torah" are you loyal? According to Jesus Christ, one cannot be loyal to both the Oral “Torah” of man and the Scriptural Torah of God (Mark 7:9).

Jesus told the Pharisees they were the sons of those who killed the prophets and were witnesses against themselves in this regard (Matthew 23:31).

This is true, for it is written in the anti-Old Testament Talmud of Pharisaic Judaism that the prophet Isaiah was justifiably killed for stating that the Israelites had unclean lips.
—BT Yebamoth 49b.

About Noah, the Holy Bible teaches: Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. (Genesis 6:9).

The Talmud interprets the phrase “in his generation” to mean that in any other generation Noah would not be holy or significant: "Noah was only righteous in his generation; had he lived in the generation of Abraham, he would not have been considered significant at all.” [B.T. Sanhedrin 108a]

In Hebrew “blameless" denotes without flaw. Noah is a precursor of Abraham, not less than Abraham. What is required of Noah, God also requires of Abraham: to walk before Him and be blameless. The Talmud is wrong to denigrate Noah. And it gets worse. The rabbinic Midrash declares that no good was found in Noah (Midrash Rabbah: Genesis I [Soncino 1983, vol. 1], p. 289). This Midrash also teaches that Noah was an alcoholic who was castrated when he was on his way to have coitus. (Midrash Rabbah: Genesis I [Soncino 1983, vol. 1], pp. 290-291; 293). These texts give evidence for the fact that Judaism’s "Noahide Laws” are not a reference to the Biblical Noah, despite public dissimulation to the contrary. Judaism’s misnamed "Noahide Laws" are a Talmudic subterfuge. They are not of Noah or the Old Testament.

Documented Teachings of the Talmud and the Rabbis of Orthodox Judaism

(BT = Babylonian Talmud)

Babylonian Talmud: BT Sanhedrin 57a

It is a Blessed Deed to Kill “anti-Semites”: "Amalek was the first anti-Semite...Today, the seed of Amalek has been lost; however, if (it) becomes clear that a certain person is an Amalekite, following in their ways, it would be a mitzvah (blessed deed) to kill him (see, Kol Mevaser 2:42).

"...if an Amalekite decides to take upon himself the fulfillment of the Seven Mitzvoth of Noah's Sons, according to Jewish law, there is no longer an obligation to kill him...

Source: Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, "Amalek: War Against the Root of Evil," Israel National News, Feb. 28, 2012.

Rabbi Melamed is the head of the Har Bracha Hesda Yeshiva, a branch of the settler movement in the occupied West Bank of Palestine. The settlers receive financial and other types of support from "Christian-Zionists" in America. Christians are idolaters:

Rabbi Melamed has written: "...they (Christians) still embrace idolatry, believing that 'oto ha'ish' [Jesus] is god and the messiah, who will be resurrected to redeem the world...As we learned from the words of the Rambam (Moses Maimonides, Laws of Kings 11:4): "Jesus the Christian, who thought he was the Messiah… was the subject of a prophesy in the Book of Daniel (11:14): "…also the renegades of your people will exalt themselves to fulfill the vision – but they will stumble." Could there be a greater stumbling block than this [Jesus]? For all the prophets spoke of the Messiah who will redeem and save Israel, who will ingather all its exiles, and who will strengthen them in the fulfillment of the Torah's commandments – while he [Jesus] caused Israel to be killed by the sword, their remnants to be dispersed and humiliated, the Torah to be switched for something else, and most of the world to worship a god other than the God of Israel!""

From the Talmud, BT Shabbat 15c (also cf. Baba Metzia 33A), comes the three levels of study, ranked from lowest to highest:

A. "He who occupies himself with Scripture gains merit that is no merit.

B. "He who occupies himself with Mishnah gains merit for which people receive a reward.

C. "He who occupies himself with Talmud—there is no source of merit greater than this.”

King Solomon's successor as king of Israel was the king of demons: "King Solomon was replaced by Ashmodeus, King of the demons.” —BT Gittin 68b. (The Bible says that King Solomon was replaced by his son, Rehoboam [1 Kings 11:43], not a mythological king of demons).

No Biblical Basis for a Bar Mitzvah: The bar mitzvah for boys ("bat" mitzvah for girls) is never mentioned anywhere in the Word of God, and neither Abraham, Isaac or Jacob ceremonialized or celebrated becoming bar mitzvah. The supreme law of Judaism is sourced in the Babylonian Talmud and it is in the Talmud where the age of maturation for boys and girls is stated. According to Rabbi Mendy Rubenfeld, director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Poway, California's so-called Hebrew School, "The Talmud dedicates pages to it, and it's specifically talking about bar mitzvah. It talks about when a man matures, when a woman matures. And it comes to the conclusion that [the ages are] 13 for a boy and 12 for a girl….And it is discussed in detail."

A Judaic male is obligated to say the following prayer every day:
“Thank you G-d for not making me a gentile, a woman or a slave.”
—BT Menahoth 43b-44a.

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was a prostitute.
—BT Sanhedrin 106b. BT Sanhedrin 67a. Shabbath 104b.

All gentile women without exception are: “Niddah, Shifchah, Goyyah and Zonah” (menstrual filth, slaves, heathens and prostitutes).
—BT Sanhedrin 81b - 82a.

BT Kiddushin 66c: “The best of the gentiles: kill him; the best of snakes: smash its skull; the best of women: is filled with witchcraft.” The uncensored version of this text appears in Tractate Soferim (New York, M. Higer, 1937), 15:7, p. 282.

“The more possessions the more worry; the more wives, the more witchcraft.”
—Hillel, first century, Mishnah Abot 2:7.

Judaic men are not to hear a woman singing, not even Judaic women: “The voice of a woman is nakedness; a handbreadth of a woman is nakedness” (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Berachot 24a). The duty of “modesty" also applies to a handbreadth of a woman’s body that is normally covered, and also hearing a woman sing (Rosh, S’mag, R’id, S’mak, R’ah, R’yaz). According to the overwhelming majority of ‘Rishonim,’ for reasons of modesty, it is forbidden to hear a woman sing. The Shulchan Aruch declares that it is forbidden to hear a woman sing and this is how all of the later poskim (judges of the law) ruled (cf. Shulchan Aruch, Orech Chaim 21:1; Mishna Berurah 75:17).

The New Testament books of the Christians are to be burned whenever possible.
—BT Shabbath 116a.

Gentiles are not to be trusted: "...a gentile’s word is totally discounted regarding ritual prohibitions...In a situation where a gentile’s word is not relied upon, his conversion to Judaism will not influence our acceptance of his testimony.”

—Rabbi Ezra Basri, Chief Justice, District Court, Jerusalem, “The Testimony of a Gentile Regarding Ritual Matters,” in Ethics of Business Finance & Charity (Jerusalem: Haktav Press), vol. 2, chapter 13.

No need to be fair to gentiles: "The laws (of fairness) mentioned above only apply between two Jewish neighbors. Gentiles do not necessarily respect these principles and, hence, there is no obligation to show them such consideration in return.” Rabbi Ezra Basri, ibid., vol. 4, chapter 2.

“On Passover Eve they hanged Jesus of Nazareth. And the herald went out before him for 40 days and proclaimed, Jesus of Nazareth is going to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited and led Israel astray. Whoever knows of an argument that may be proposed in his favor should come and present that argument on his behalf. But the judges did not find an argument in his favor, so they hanged him on Passover Eve...Did Jesus of Nazareth deserve that a search be made for an argument in his favor? Surely he incited others to idol worship.” — BT Sanhedrin 43a; Steinsaltz v. 17, 158-159.

Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be boiled in hot excrement in hell.
—BT Erubin 21b.

“...Jesus shares his place in the Netherworld (hell) with Titus and Balaam, the notorious arch enemies of the Jewish people. Whereas Titus is punished for the destruction of the Temple by being burned to ashes, reassembled, and burned over and over again, and whereas Balaam is castigated by sitting in hot semen, Jesus’ fate consists of sitting forever in boiling excrement.”
—Peter Schäfer, Jesus in the Talmud (Princeton University Press), p. 13. BT Gittin 57a.

The rabbinic legal authorities of Orthodox Judaism decree that the worship of Jesus Christ constitutes idol worship (“avodah zarah”).
—Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Avodat Kochavim 9:4. Teshuvos Pri ha-Sadeh 2:4. Igros Moshe, Y.D. 3:129-6.

Idol worshippers are liable to the death penalty under the Talmudic “Noachide Laws.”
—BT Sanhedrin 57a.

All of the inhabitants of the world are compelled to accept the Noachide laws. If any non-Jew does not accept these laws he should be killed.

—Rabbi Moses Maimonides (The “Rambam”), Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Melachim U'Milchamoteihem ("Laws of Kings and Wars"), Section 8, Halacha 10.

Michael Hoffman’s commentary: This passage from Hilchot Melachim deals with battle captives, but in the course of elucidating those laws pertaining to captives, Maimonides is drawing on the larger corpus of laws having to do with non-Jews; i.e. the Seven Laws (of the Noachide). [Maimonides is specifically cited in this regard in Tosefot Yom Tov, Avot 3:14]. The call to execute all those "among the nations" (goyim) who do not accept the Noachide laws (not just those who are prisoners of war), is indubitably present in Hilchot Melachim 8:10.
In the year 2012 this killing may occur in Palestine, where the Israelis are supreme. In Europe and America Judaic executions of those who worship Jesus Christ as God, or refuse to submit to the Noachide laws, cannot take place at this time. This is due to the fact that Maimonides decreed that killings of obstreperous non-Jews can only occur in those places where “the hand of Israel is powerful over them.” In other words, where Judaic supremacy is complete. Cf. Hilchot Melachim 8:9.

Rabbinic authorities decree that a building set aside for actual (rather than feigned) worship of Jesus Christ is a house of avodah zarah.
—Yayin Malchus, 234-237. Minchas Elazar 1:53-3. Yechaveh Da'as 4:45. Darchei Teshuvah 150:2. Tzitz Eliezer 14:91.

Therefore, when passing a church they utter a curse upon it as follows: “Beis gee'im visach Hashem.”
—Birkath ha-Minim, 12th Amidah. BT Berakhot 58b.

Only Jews are human. Non-Jews are not human.
—BT Bava Metzia 114b. BT Kerithoth 6b and 58a.

Regarding a Jew stealing from a non-Jew, the act is permitted.
— BT Sanhedrin 57a.

Jews may use lies ("subterfuges") to circumvent a gentile.
—BT Baba Kamma 113a.

If a Jew is tempted to do evil, he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there.
—BT Moed Kattan 17a.

Children, life and sustenance do not depend upon merit but upon mazal (one’s lucky stars).
—BT Mo’ed Kattan 28a.

Diabolical delusion: Pity the so-called “Christians” who teach the so-called “Jews" that it is permissible for them to continue in their sins and remain in Judaism rather than convert to Jesus, since they are "the descendants of David.” But what if they are not? In that case, these pseudo-Jews (Rev. 3:9) have been sold a diabolical delusion which destines them to damnation. According to the late David Einsiedler, who wrote in the scholarly journal, Avotaynu: The International Review of Jewish Genealogy, "Careful examination of all available sources leads to the inescapable conclusion that there is no complete, reliable and positive proof of claims of descent from King David, whether via Rashi, Judah Loew the Elder, or any of the other families claimed. There are at present no known sources that could fill the gaps or set the record straight. It is possible that there may be actual descendants somewhere, but at present, no one can produce sufficient and unquestionable proof of this claim."
