Aish HaTorah

You have nothing to worry about. An Orthodox Jew in Jerusalem? I don't even think they like me. Haha! They can be pretty "hardcore," and yet I do have a deep respect for them. I do not believe, however, that some of their exegesis is reasonable. That is a very LONG discussion for a different thread than this.

I haven't been called a "Jew people" before. Only joking with you. I have a "working" knowledge of LDS scripture. I am far from an expert.

Thank you, sir! Lehi?

Thank you, sir! Lehi?

No offense taken, I promise. I am a conservative Jew. I do know Hebrew. I read and ponder the Torah every day. I do go to temple. May I ask, why do you feel particularly about not offending Jewish people? I hope that we have not given you reason to feel that we are unapproachable or easily offended. If this is the case, I am truly sorry.

Thank you for that!

Isaiah is a piece of cake in any language...except, perhaps, Icelandic. (Did I mention anything about my sarcasm. *sigh* I'll conquer it one day.) Seriously, though, it certainly helps knowing Hebrew and understanding the context in which Isaiah was writing as well as to whom. Also, I am no expert. I flirt with intellectualism and theology. I do, however, promise to answer with what knowledge HaShem has given me and with person experience.

It literally means Fire of Torah, or G-d's word.

Thank you, Pam!

Shalom, shalom. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Yared and I hail from Las Vegas, NV. I am Jewish father of two and love all things theological. I enjoy meeting people and hearing about their journey with G-d. I am easy going, love to exchange ideas, and am currently in recovery from sarcasm. I am excited to get to know you! Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
