We have 23 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: been walking through the Bible the last year. We've dealt 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: with a lot of biblical subjects, and what I want 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: to do now for the next few weeks is to 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: connect the Bible to Israel today. So we're going to 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: fill in a few gaps, bring us up to speed 28 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: with modern Israel, and then we're going to begin to 29 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: talk about some things regarding Israel, regarding Christian support of Israel, 30 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: regarding Semitism, and all kinds of related issues. So I'm 31 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: really looking forward to our time together. So we left 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: our Bible in the New Testament. We were talking about 33 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: the early Church, its Jewish roots, and we talked about 34 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: how Jesus was Jewish and he interacted in everyday life 35 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: in his ministry with the Jewish people of the day, 36 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: and a lot of the debates and the back and 37 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: forth were very common and a very acceptable way of 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: discussing and arguing matters regarding the Law of Moses. So 39 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: there were four main sects at the time of Jesus 40 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: that we read about three of them in the New Testament. 41 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: But there's the fourth sect is there, it's just not named. 42 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: But the first sect, of course, are the Pharisees. And 43 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: because Jesus spoke against hypocrisy of some of the Pharisees, 44 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: we kind of intend to have a negative view of Pharisees, 45 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: but actually we shouldn't. The Pharisees were the rabbis. They 46 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: were the teachers of the law. They taught the people 47 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: how to be observant of the Law of Moses, and 48 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: they had different interpretations amongst them. They had different schools 49 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: of thought amongst them in terms of how to interpret 50 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: the Mosaic law, how to abide by it in those days. 51 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: And so those were the Pharisees. The fact that Jesus 52 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: may have argued, or i should say, disagreed with some 53 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: of them, he actually agreed with them a lot, and 54 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: so we need to take that in its proper contexts. 55 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: The second sect that we read about in the New 56 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: Testament are the Sadducees. They were the priestly class. They 57 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: were the are aristocrats, made up of the priest, the 58 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: high priest, and the priestly leading priestly families of the day. 59 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: And they were the Sadducees. They disagreed with the Pharisees 60 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: and the matters of the oral interpretation of the law. 61 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: But they certainly believed in the Law of Moses and 62 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: following it strictly, and especially in the temple sacrificial system, 63 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: which they were in charge of. Then there was a 64 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: third group that we can see their activity in the 65 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: New Testament, but I don't think they're ever actually named, 66 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: and that's the Ascenes. The Acenes were actually a reactionary 67 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: group to the Sadducees. They felt that the priests were 68 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: politically corrupt, that the services and the temple, the sacrificial 69 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: system therefore was not being done in a pure manner 70 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: because the priests weren't pure, and they would have nothing 71 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: to do with the temple or the priesthood. They really 72 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: emphasized purity and holiness in your daily lives. They were 73 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: throughout the land of Israel the scenes. And then the 74 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: fourth movement are the Zealots. And the Zealots were ones 75 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: that were very zealous for the law and zealous that 76 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: the Jewish people would be sovereign over their own land 77 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: and able to obey the laws of God. And they 78 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: couldn't wait to overthrow the rule of Rome. And they 79 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: were just looking for the right opportunity and the right 80 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: moment to overthrow Rome. So these were the four main 81 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: sects of Judaism during the time of Jesus. Something happened, though, 82 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: that completely changed this mosaic of Judaism, and that was 83 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: in seventy a d. After a three year siege of Jerusalem, 84 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: when the Roman forces destroyed Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple and 85 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: brought to an end the sacrificial system there at the Temple. 86 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 2: And this caused some several changes. One is the rabbi 87 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 2: Rabbi Yokonan Benzekai moved the Sanhedron out of Jerusalem up 88 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 2: to a town in the Galilee called Yavne. And there 89 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: was another group of rabbis over in Babylon, and these 90 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: two became the main two schools of thought within the 91 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: rabbinic world, and they in a way had to adjust 92 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: to Judaism without a temple, a Judaism without being present 93 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: in the land, sovereignty in the land. And therefore they 94 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: became the way that Judaism carried on. So there were 95 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: no longer any sadducees because there was no longer a 96 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: temple or a priesthood. Therefore there were no longer any 97 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: Essnes who were reaction reacting against the Sadducees, and there 98 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: were no more Zealots because the Zealots had lost, Rome 99 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: had won, and the only sact that remained then was 100 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: the rabbinic tradition of Judaism, and they carried on and 101 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: they began a whole project of not only adjusting to 102 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: a world where they didn't have a temple, but writing 103 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: down all of the oral traditions and the rabbinic traditions 104 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: and the rabbinic commentary on the Law of Moses. So 105 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: this means that within Judaism they were developing their own 106 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: books beyond the Bible. And you could say that at 107 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: this point Judaism is having to make a major adjustment 108 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: in a way. It's been severed from the land, it's 109 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: been severed from the Temple. And over the years Rabbinic 110 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: Judaism became Judaism, and that's the type of Judaism we 111 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: have today, is what it's known as Rabbinic Judaism. And 112 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: there are different streams within, of course the Jewish world, 113 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: and so here in the United States we know the 114 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: main three branches are Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform, and of 115 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: course within the Orthodox. There is several different movements. One 116 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: the ultra Orthodox or what we call the Haredi, and 117 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: then there's a modern Orthodox, and then the course here 118 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: is a traditional Orthodox. So there's a lot of different branches, 119 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: but these are your three main ones Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. 120 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: Let's take a break and hear a message from one 121 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: of our sponsors. Welcome back to the Auto Zion podcast 122 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: with Susan Michael. 123 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: In Israel, they go by slightly different divisions. And in Israel, 124 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: the chief Rabbi and there rabbin at courts in Israel 125 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: are all of the Orthodox or ultra Orthodox persuasion. And 126 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: so there is a little bit of a tangle going 127 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: on between the conservative and the reform movements here in America, 128 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: eka with the Orthodox in Israel because the Orthodox do 129 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: not recognize them in Israel and they are trying to 130 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: get more to be accepted there in Israel. But in 131 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: Israel we go by four different categories. There is the Heredi, 132 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: which are the ultra Orthodox. There is the Dati, which 133 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: the translation of Dati means religious. We would call it 134 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: the Orthodox. And then there is the muss or Tea, 135 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: which that is what we would call the more traditional 136 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: they're a little less religious than the Orthodox. And then 137 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 2: there is the Heloni, which is translated as secular. And 138 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: what I want to just the one point that I 139 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: want you to remember here is that as Judaism developed 140 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: and we have these different categories, the main defining differences 141 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: in the categories is based on how you observe the 142 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: Mosaic Law, how much of it you observe. And it's 143 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: not Judaism is not about a creed. It's not about 144 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 2: believing a certain creed that you then accept as your 145 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: creed and now you're Jewish. Judaism is about observing the 146 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: Law of Moses given to the people of Israel and 147 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: a covenant. And so when we say that most of 148 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: the Jews in Israel are secular, it doesn't mean that 149 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: they're atheists or agnostic. There are some that are atheists 150 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: or agnostic. It doesn't mean that they don't believe in 151 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: a God. It means that they're not keeping Kosher, they're 152 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: not keeping Sabbath, they're not being observant. And the more 153 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: observant you are, the more you move up the ranks 154 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: from Masorti to d Ti to Haredi. The Heredi movement, 155 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: which is the ultra Orthodox movement really is only a 156 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: couple of hundred years old, and it started in Europe, 157 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: and it was a little bit of a reactionary movement 158 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: against the Enlightenment and against the assimilation of the Jewish people, 159 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: and so they sort of taught to separate yourselves from 160 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: society and to be very strict in the observance. And 161 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: you can tell within the Haredi community which rabbi that 162 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: they're following, because they dress a certain way based on 163 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 2: the school that they're following. And these rabbis go back 164 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: two hundred years ago, and that's why some of their 165 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 2: dress looks like they may become from Poland or Lithuania 166 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: or Germany back one hundred and fifty two hundred years ago, 167 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: and that's why the rabbi that they're following, his teaching 168 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: and his doctrine is from that period, and so they're 169 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: dressing according to that. Of course, Christianity is different because 170 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: Christianity believes in a creed, and we're a religion that's 171 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: based on a faith. It is based on what you 172 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: believe and not a legal observance. The Law of Moses. 173 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: There are six hundred and thirteen commandments and just a 174 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: little aside for you is that some of the commandments 175 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: are negative, meaning they were told not to do certain things, 176 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: and some of those commandments are positive, meaning they were 177 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: commanded to do certain things. So there's both in there. 178 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: And some of the commandments are all about the temple 179 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: service and the sacrificial service, and those commandments cannot be 180 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: kept today because there is no temple. And then there 181 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: were some commandments that required you to be in the 182 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 2: land of Israel, and so of course those commandments can 183 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: now be obeyed today because the Jewish people are back 184 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 2: in the land, but I still have no temple, so 185 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: they are still not able to be totally observant. So 186 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: this is just to give you kind of an idea 187 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: of the progression and the development of Judaism since the 188 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: days of the Bible. And I'm just going to end 189 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: our conversation today with this little thought. Today, if you 190 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: google who is a Jew, You're going to find there's 191 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: a huge debate about this. How do you define Judaism today? 192 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: Who is a Jew? And we tend to think Judaism 193 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: is a religion, but it's actually more than that. It 194 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: is a peoplehood. And sometimes I hear people use the 195 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: word race that they are a race. They're not a race. 196 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: There's many different races within the Jewish world. Just go 197 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: to Israel and you'll see them Black Jews from Ethiopia, 198 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: Asian Jews from India and China, and Middle Eastern Jews 199 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: with an olive complexion, and Ashkenazi Jews with a fair 200 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: complexion out of Europe in Russia. So it's not a race. 201 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: And there are Jews that do abide by the Jewish religion. 202 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: But then there are Jews that don't believe in the 203 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: Jewish religion, even could be atheistic. They're considered a Jews. 204 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: So how do you define it? This is the great debate. 205 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: It is a communal identity as a people. It is 206 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: a people an ethnicity that comes with a set of 207 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: values and kind of a DNA of how they approach 208 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: life and see the world. And there is a religion 209 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: for those that want to follow it, and most would 210 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: be loyal to that religion, but they may not observe 211 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: it as religiously as others would. So just an interesting 212 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: little aside there of who is a Jew and to 213 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: be Jewish has a cultural expression and ethnic expression, religious expression, political, 214 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: genealogical it's based on were you born to a Jewish 215 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: woman or were you born to a Jewish father, different sex, 216 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: look at it different ways, and then there's a personal dimension. 217 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: You can be born a non Jew and yet convert 218 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: to Judaism and become a part of the Jewish people. 219 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: So interesting, isn't it. It's fascinating. There's nothing quite like 220 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: it with any other religion, but one of the fascinating 221 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 2: facets of being a Jew and of understanding Judaism today. 222 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: So that's it for today.
