In keeping with Jewish teachings, it does not accept any part of his resurrection or his divinity. And it shows Rabbi Boteach's belief that the New Testament on purpose deflected blame for the crucifixion from the ruling Romans and put it directly on the shoulders of the Jews. I do not as some Orthodox Rabbis have said feel threatened or of my personal type of Reform Jewish living in any way threatened. Rabbi Boteach says that his book is designed to win over the Jews and Christians only to a message that he believes has been led astray due to many misunderstandings between the now two distinct faiths. Rabbi Boteach’s is I feel trying to say to the Jewish community at large that we Jews should step forward and teach to the larger Christian community that Jesus was Jewish and should have his Jewish side put forward by Jews. I also do not believe as some critics have said that Jews will be subject to more pressure to convert. This is I believe a fine literary work and should be read by Jews and Christians alike. Elliot1822 | Apr 28, 2012 | Christian readers looking for a way to make Jesus more accessible to Jews or to enhance the authenticity of their faith will find neither within the pages of this work. Instead they will find a slap in the face that insults their convictions, belittles their intelligence and asks them to totally disregard everything they’ve ever believed about the New Testament and Jesus. In the last part of the book, Rabbi Boteach’s revisionist and morally relativistic call for Christians to embrace this new entirely human Jesus will be found to be nothing less than insulting. Jewish readers, on the other hand, will find a work of fiction that paints a different picture of Jesus – a Jesus created out of whole cloth. While Rabbi Boteach’s Jesus is interesting, there’s very little of it that is supportable by any source other than the works of others who have also tried to remake Jesus according to their own suppositions. And while Jewish readers may find comfort in the book’s attempt to invalidate large portions of the New Testament and explain why Jews don’t believe in Jesus, Rabbi Boteach’s call for Jews to embrace Jesus as a Jewish martyr and hero is ludicrous at best and dangerous at worst. It attempts to do something only one step below what the Christian deification of Jesus did, making him into something he’s not. All in all, a rather disappointing work from an otherwise brilliant if not a little egotistical Rabbi. Penina | Jan 19, 2012 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Kosher Jesus is a project of more than six years research and writing. The book seeks to offer to Jews and Christians the real story of Jesus, a wholly observant, Pharisaic Rabbi who fought Roman paganism and oppression and was killed for it. While many Christians will be confused by its assertion that Jesus never claimed divinity and not only did not abrogate the Torah but observed every letter of the Law, they will find comfort in my tracing most of Jesus principal teachings back to Jewish sources, this before he was stripped of his Jewishness by later writers who sought to portray him as an enemy of his people. This is especially true of Jesus' most famous oration, the Sermon on the Mount, which is a reformulation of the Torah he studied and to which he was committed. A small sampling: Jesus: (Matt 5:5) Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Hebrew Bible: (Psalms 37) The meek shall inherit the earth, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Jesus: (Matt 5:8) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see G-d. Hebrew Bible: (Psalms 24) Who shall ascend the mount of the Lord the pure-hearted. Jesus: (Matt 5:39) But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. Hebrew Bible: (Lamentations 3:30) Let him offer his cheek to him who smites him Jesus: (Matt 6:33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. Hebrew Bible: (Psalms 37:4) Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Jesus: (Matt 7:7) Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. Hebrew Bible: (Jer 29:13) When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart. Jesus: (Matt 7:23) Then I will declare to them, I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers. Hebrew Bible: (Psalms 6:9) Depart from me, all you workers of evil... The book is also for Jews who remain deeply uncomfortable with Jesus because of the Church s long history of anti-Semitism, the deification of Jesus, and the Jewish rejection of any Messiah who has not fulfilled the Messianic prophecies. We Jews will forever reject the divinity of any man, the single most emphatic prohibition of our Bible. And we can never accept the Messiahship of any personality, however noble or well-intended, who died without ushering in the age of physical redemption. But as Christians and Jews now come together to love and support the majestic and humane Jewish state, it s time that Christians rediscover the deep Jewishness and religious Jewish commitment of Jesus, while Jews re-examine a lost son who was murdered by a brutal Roman state who sought to impose Roman culture and rule upon a tiny yet stubborn nation who will never be severed from their eternal covenant with the God of Israel.
