Question
Why do we say "ayn banu maasim" (we have no deeds), when, in actuality, if you are shomer mitzvos, then of course you have deeds. It sounds very christian--if we wake up, put on tefillin, keep the mitzvos, etc, then....we DO have maasim--they may not be up to our potential, but, to say they are nothing??? I dont get it.

Hello ,I'm a noahide from korea. I read this article and would like to ask for a fact check I've asked around, but no one has an answer. Please help me. http://messianicfellowship.50webs.com/rabbinicobjections.html The article says The Talmud cites the last three words of Exodus 23:2 and interprets them to mean, “Follow the majority.” But the text says the exact opposite! Just read the whole verse. The meaning is clearly, “Don’t follow the majority.” Even J. H. Hertz, the former chief rabbi of England, wrote: “The Rabbis disregarded the literal meaning of the last three Hebrew words, and took them to imply that, except when it is ‘to do evil,’ one should follow the majority.”7 And that is their support for negating and disregarding the voice of God! A verse that says “Don’t follow the majority” was sliced up and reinterpreted so as to mean, “Follow the majority,” and, on this basis, God Himself was overruled. It almost takes your breath away. I don't know Hebrew, but the Jewish interpretation in English makes me think like the Christian scholar who wrote this. Did the rabbis twist the text away from its original meaning? Or is the Hebrew translation wrong? Thank you.

Hi, from where in the Torah or oral Torah we find that we have to live with the time? And slavery is no longer allowed regardless if it is a Jewish slave or not. Thanks, Jonathan.
