The Torah was given in the wilderness, to show that it is for everyone. The Torah scroll is dressed like a king, but its wisdom walks humbly with those who walk humbly with God.

The name of Jethro (יִתְרוֹ, Yitro) comes from the root יתר (Y-T-R), meaning “extra,” “increase,” or “abundance.” The Midrash (Shemot Rabbah 27) says he was called Yitro because he added a ‘portion’ to the Torah by advising Moshe to appoint judges (Exodus 18:13-26). The same root יתר (Yeter) appears in Isaiah 10:20: “The remnant of Israel (שְׁאָר יִתְרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, she’ar yitrei Yisrael) shall return…” Yitrei (יִתְרֵי) comes from the same root and means “those who remain” or “the survivors.” In this prophetic context, it refers to the remnant of Israel in the Messianic age. His name (just as Yitro himself was a gentile who joined Israel) hints at the “extra” ones—the righteous among the nations—who will join Israel in the Messianic era!

The Ten Commandments begin: “I am Hashem your God, who brought you out of Egypt” (Ex. 20:2). Why not say, “I am Hashem, who created heaven and earth”? Because knowing God isn’t just about having a mere philosophical understanding of Him. It’s about redemption (who brought you out of Egypt) and relationship (I am Hashem your God)

Yitro sees Moshe judging the people alone and says, “This is not good” (Ex. 18:17). The Torah rarely says something is “not good” the last time was in Genesis: “It is not good for man to be alone” (Gen. 2:18). Just as Adam needed a helper, Moshe needed to delegate leadership. This hints at Mashiach, who will also establish righteous judges (Isaiah 1:26) In 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 Paul expands on this idea: “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?

Good question . We often use that word without defining it a lot. I would say Yeshua says our fruit would be our good works (mitzvot) that shine a light for the world to praise God and also what we store up as our reward in Heaven (Matthew 6:20). A tree’s fruit isn’t for itself, so our fruitfulness allows us to be a blessing to all the earth.

@awretchlikeme95 So true brother! I had shared a similar thought about this passage regarding Yeshua's divinity. Shavua Tov!
In John 10:34-36, Yeshua defends His claim to be the Son of God by quoting Psalm 82:6: “I said, you are gods (elohim), and all of you are sons of the Most High.” In Hebrew, Elohim refers not only to God but also to judges or rulers—those entrusted with dicine authority (Ex. 21:6, 22:8). Psalm 82 critiques these leaders, calling them “gods” and “sons of the Most High” because of their high calling to reflect God’s justice and wisdom. Yeshua’s argument? If Scripture calls flawed human leaders elohim and sons of God (bnei Elohim) because of their divine mandate, how much more appropriate is it for Him—whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world—to claim, to be THE Son of God (Ben Elohim)? And if they can be referred to as ‘elohim’ without blasphemy, how much more so can Yeshua?

A Jew is: 1.A descendant of Jacob (Israel)—specifically from the tribe of Judah, but later applied to all Israelites. 2.A member of the covenant given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, upheld through Moses at Sinai. 3.Someone who practices Judaism or has been properly grafted into the Jewish people (through conversion or divine covenant, like Ruth). Jewish identity is ethnoreligious. Jews have a shared ancestry with a common Middle Eastern origin, Jews have a religion - Judaism The term Yehudi (יהודי) appears in the Tanakh (2 Kings 16:6, Jeremiah 34:9, Esther 2:5). Even though it originally referred to the Kingdom of Judah but expanded to mean all Israelites.

Yes, Palestinians have regional continuity, but they are not uniquely Israelites. They underwent significant Arabization and genetic admixture after the 7th century. If being in a place for a long time makes someone the ‘true’ people, then by your logic, Arabs are the ‘true’ Spaniards because they ruled Spain for 700 years. Your argument is not scientific—it’s political. History and genetics both prove that Jews never left and maintained their identity despite exile. If you're so confident in your claims, why do you need to rewrite history?

Your claims are historically and genetically false. DNA studies confirm Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi)—share Middle Eastern ancestry. The name ‘Palestine’ was imposed by Rome to erase Jewish identity, and Palestinians today descend largely from later Arab migrations. Judaism never ‘ended’. If you're going to rewrite history, at least be good at it.
