Briefly, what is your main teaching?

"Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious." – Albert Einstein

The Ta•na"kh is the product of this realization and pursuit by the ancients — namely, Av•râ•hâm, and the accumulated and enduring learning of his successors, particularly Mosh•ëhand its logical implications, which are not always the same as rabbinic interpretations. By contrast, many of today's rabbis exhibit a deplorable ignorance of logic. Instead, the most Ultra- of Orthodox rabbis today reflect Medieval European superstitions and mysticism – namely, Qa•bâl•âh – as well as blatant and defiant contradictions of both Ta•na"kh and Tal•mud; (e.g., Yᵊsha•yâhu 53).

By definition, Ta•na"khTor•âh – is logical. Interpretations of it that are based on logical fallacies, therefore, are neither Tor•âh nor legitimate Ha•lâkh•âh. Not every interpretation of today's typically Europeanist, Medievalist, superstitious and anti-scientific rabbis is valid or legitimate. Whereas, the endurance of logical Tor•âh and logical interpretations, over thousands of years attests to its countless lifespans having test-proven its veracity, integrity and value. This is what has certified logical Ha•lâkh•âh of Tor•âh as "Life's Instruction Manual," reflecting our Singularity-Creator – é--ä, the Ël•oh•im of Yi•sᵊrâ•eil. Accordingly, only Tor•âh can reveal the enduring and eternal purpose of your life and the conditions Tor•âh sets for how you can relate to, and commune with, é--ä.

As the Singularity-Creator of our supremely orderly universe, é--ä is the Author of the universal laws maintaining that orderly state (the real world of fact: historical documentation and hard archeological evidence, the laws of physics, the hard sciences, and formal, discrete logic).

Accordingly, é--ä is the Source of all forces in our universe: the electromagnetic force, the strong and weak nuclear forces and gravity – from quarks to the Higgs Boson and beyond, from which everything, all matter and energy, in the universe is constituted.

As the ancients recognized (Ma•lâkh•i 3.6), just as the physical laws that echo their Author are never self-contradicting, neither can the Creator and Author of those laws be self-contradicting. Any apparent contradictions ("supernatural" phenomena) are merely human failures to sufficiently understand the natural workings of the universe, not Divine self-contradictions. Miracles are natural events, consistent with the Creator's laws of physics and logic, that humans don't yet understand.

It follows that the only "religion" that is legitimately of é--ä, the self-consistent Creator of all things, [a] cannot be self-contradicting and [b] therefore, can only be a set of guidelines that applies, consistently and logically, to all of His creation – every human being (and every sentient creation throughout the universe if such exist).

Where these principles differ from human interpretations – be they rabbinic, Christian, Islamic or other – these principles trump any and all human interpretations. Back to questions list

What do you believe about the Mâ•shiakh?

All Orthodox Jews, by definition, believe in the Mâ•shiakh. The Nᵊtzâr•im view conforms to the standard, Tal•mud, view of the Mâ•shiakh Bën-Yo•seiph and Mâ•shiakh Bën-Dâ•wid – about which, tragically, many modern Jews and even Ultra-Orthodox rabbis, remain blissfully ignorant – some even defiantly contradicting both Tal•mud and Nᵊviy•im out of a manic fear, combined with a woeful ignorance, of Christianity.

Lᵊ-ha•vᵊdil

We reject Jesus and all of the Christian doctrines concerning their supposedly-divine, Hellenist man-god christ. Back to questions list

Whom do you teach?
Every human being is a creation – in that sense a son or daughter – of the Singularity-Creator. He who loves the Creator loves His children. I serve the Singularity-Creator: é--ä, bâ•rukh Hu. Thus, I strive to impart knowledge of the Creator, and how to relate to Him, to all – every one – of his children, without exception. Back to questions list
Are you Christians?

No. Even the earliest extant Church historian, Eusebius, documented (and glossed over) the historical fact that the Christian Jesus is a perverted fabrication, based on the Hellenist St. Paul the Apostate, of 2nd-4th century C.E. Hellenist Roman gentiles, has no legitimate connection to the historical 1st century Jew, and never even existed as a human being. The Christian Jesus is an after-the-fact (2nd-4th century C.E.), fabricated syncretism and image – an "it," not a "he." Thus, the Christian Jesus is nothing more than an idol based on Hellenist Romans syncretizing a few stories from Hellenist Jews into their native belief in Zeus. Christianity, Jesus and the Church are a repackaging of the Greco-Roman – Hellenist – worship of Zeus and their pantheon. The Nᵊtzâr•im not only deny that the Christian Jesus is divine, or the son of god (thereby denying the trinity), we expose it to be a 2nd-4th century C.E. idol fabricated by the very Hellenist Roman gentiles who falsely convicted and murdered the historical Ribi Yᵊho•shua!!!

Eusebius further documented that the Nᵊtzâr•im refused the Διαθηκη Καινη (NT) as illegitimate and apostate from its introduction in the 4th century C.E. Thus, neither Tor•âh nor Yi•sᵊrâ•eil was ever displaced by Jesus, Christianity or the gentile church.

This website contains a photograph (well known among scholars of archeology and history) of the ossuary containing the bones of "Simon Peter" – in Yᵊru•shâ•layim, not Rome! Again, Eusebius documented that the "succession of the first popes" was a "fabrication" perpetrated some time between 142 and 168 C.E. (EH IV.xxii.3; see "Fabrication of Popes" in our History Museum)! The popes are counterfeits of Nᵊtzâr•im pᵊqid•im!

Everyone who knows anything about Christianity can see plainly that we're not Christian. The charge that we are Christian is ignorant slander by Ultra-Orthodox Jews and the Israeli Rabbinate. Back to questions list

Are you Jews?

Yes, moderate Orthodox Jews – not Ultra-Orthodox (Kha•reid•im) "Costume Jewry."

My wife and I were converted in 1984 by 2 Orthodox rabbis and we have full documentation (scans of the essential documents are displayed in this website). We immigrated to Israel under the Law of Return, being approved as Jews in 1985 when the Ministry of Interior was under the control of the Ultra-Religious Sha"s party, and its Minister of Interior, Rabbi Yitzkhaq Peretz. We've lived only in the Orthodox Jewish community since we came to Israel and were members in good standing, a member of the board, in the Tei•mân•i Orthodox synagogue in Ra'anana for two decades – until the recent self-contradiction of the Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Rabbinate.

In 2012, after decades of extortion threatening me if I didn't eliminate this website (which they ignorantly believe to be Christian and falsely accuse us of being Christians), trying to censure the scholarly historical research and documentation, the Ultra-Orthodox Rabbinate, contrary to Ha•lâkh•âh, contradicted itself, writing that, after a quarter century recognizing us as Orthodox Jews, they no longer recognize the Orthodox rabbis who converted us, or our conversion.

Ha•lâkh•âh does not permit reversal of recognition of a conversion (particularly ludicrous almost 30 years after the fact). According to Ha•lâkh•âh, we – forever – remain Orthodox Jews (moderate, not Ultra-) and uphold the Pᵊrush•im-heritage (moderate Orthodox, Tei•mân•i, Dor Daim) standard of Ha•lâkh•âh. Back to questions list

Where can I obtain your books and materials?
Due to the exorbitant costs and time of doing international business by credit cards here in Israel, we have discontinued selling directly from Israel. All of our materials are available exclusively on the honor system in our Israel Mall ► Nᵊtzâr•im Shop. Back to questions list

How can I become a Nᵊtzâr•im?
You must meet the criteria of doing your utmost to learn and keep Tor•âh according to moderate Orthodox, logical, Tei•mân•i, Dor Daim Ha•lâkh•âh and believe that Ribi Yᵊho•shua is the Mâ•shiakh.

From a practical standpoint, the only way for someone unfamiliar with "Tor•âh according to moderate Orthodox, logical, Tei•mân•i, Dor Daim Ha•lâkh•âh" to learn it is through our tutoring; and the only way for someone unfamiliar with the intractably contradictory differences between the historical Ribi Yᵊho•shua and the, lᵊ-ha•vᵊdil, Christian Hellenist Roman idol, Jesus, is also through our tutoring. Back to questions list

Does one need to be (or become) a Jew?
No. Few goy•im are aware that an eirëv rav, of geir•im, joined Yi•sᵊrâ•eil in the Yᵊtzi•âh. You need only do your utmost to learn and live according to Tor•âh (which, click links for glossary entries, includes logical Ha•lâkh•âh). Perfection was never required for eternal life or there would not have been – from the very start – tᵊshuv•âh, restitution and penalty-sacrifices as conditions for obtaining ki•pur.

Since wealth in the modern world is monetized in banks instead of flocks, accordingly, restitution and penalties for transgression of Tor•âh are monetized as financial penalties (above and beyond ma•a•sᵊr•ot) and tᵊphil•ot. Restitution and tᵊshuv•âh remain unchanged. The resulting ki•pur, also unchanged, is promised in return for these by Tor•âh. You must trust in Tor•âh, not any human – whether supposed christ or rabbi. We will teach you how. Back to questions list

Does becoming a Netzarim make me a Jew?
No. If your primary focus is to convert and become a Jew then you must seek elsewhere. Becoming a Nᵊtzâr•im is about learning to serve é--ä by keeping His Tor•âh. If your agenda is anything else, we cannot help you. Back to questions list

How do I get started?
First, digest and internalize the wealth of the information that is freely available in our website. While parts may seem irrelevant to you, nothing in the website is optional. Take the village tour (read to the bottom of our Home Page and take the bus there to the next stop. Again, read through all of the pages in the menu. When you read to the bottom of the last menu item, you'll find another bus to the next stop, until you've studied the entire website. Then, start our free on-line kha•vᵊr•utâ course. Upon successful completion of our kha•vᵊr•utâ course you may petition our beit din for acceptance and to be recognized as a Nᵊtzâr•im. Those who are not registered thusly with our beit din are Christian counterfeits like their Jesus idol. Back to questions list

If I become a Nᵊtzâr•im can I then live in Israel?
The reason to become a Nᵊtzâr•im is to learn to properly keep Tor•âhas who you are and where you are. Becoming a Nᵊtzâr•im does not change your status as a Jew or non-Jew. Jews remain Jews and non-Jews become geir•im. é‑‑ä counts geir•im among Yi•sᵊr•â•eil but, because of the Ultra-Orthodox control of the Ottoman-ordained Ra•bân•ut in Israel, the worldly secular Israeli government does not recognize geir•im as qualified to immigrate to the State of Israel. Back to questions list

How can I get in touch with you?

First, it is Tor•âh and é‑‑ä Who helps. I'm merely His servant. Look to Tor•âh and é‑‑ä, not man–including me.

Further, years of experience yielded correspondence that usually began something to the effect "I'm a special case, listen to my unique story and situation…"

No, Tor•âh applies to everyone, and everyone must meet the same criteria. No exceptions.

Worse, many times it was some Christian who couldn't even read the Bible (it's Hebrew and Aramaic), nor even his own "testament" (it's Greek), intent on "enlightening" me about the "Gospel." Or some "anti-missionary" Jew, ignorant of both Judaism and Christianity, incorrigibly convinced that we lie and wasting our time with hate-mongering slander.

If you're convinced that you have found truth and are right, and wonder whether we match your requirements, the answer is: "Clearly no, or you would be the Orthodox Jew living in Israel, reading Tor•âh in Hebrew and Aramaic, and practicing Tor•âh according to logical Ha•lâkh•âh in the tradition of the Tei•mân•im Dor Daim. If so, then that answers your questions. If not, then we do not, and will not, match your specifications. It's up to you to meet our standards, not the reverse. Think of this like applying to a university in a certain field. The university does not change its standards to match your perceptions. If you want their degree, then you must successfully complete their tests and meet their standards. You would not succeed at M.I.T. with the expectation that they must change their requirements to suit your perceptions. The same applies here. You will not succeed here if you come with the misperception that you will teach rather than learn.

Consequently, we limit our correspondence with new visitors to helping them focus on learning the elements in our website. Only after you have absorbed all of the elements in our website, we assign a ma•dᵊrikh to tutor you through our on-line Kha•vᵊr•utâ course.

Not I, nor anyone else, can give you dispensation from the task of learning and keeping Tor•âh. You need to redirect your focus away from dependence on me – faith in man – and focus, instead, on learning, and placing your faith in, Tor•âh.
