You are lying to women and enabling them to destroy their lives by implying they can engage in anything they want and still get the fairy tale ending.

A rabbi is not someone who decided to call himself one. Semicha is a chain of ordination that traces back to Moshe placing his hands on Yehoshua. You don't give that to yourself. It is received — or it doesn't exist. ✡️

🇪🇸 A young Spanish woman will be euthanized today, after a group of illegal migrants gang-raped her while she was in state care. In 2022, the teenager Noelia Castillo Ramos placed in a state institution amid family difficulties and placed in a state-run home together with North African migrant minors where she was raped by them. The trauma broke her. Months later, Noelia attempted suicide by jumping from the 5th floor. She survived, but the fall left her paraplegic. The rapists were never arrested and remain free. Instead of delivering justice or adequate long-term support, the authorities offered assisted suicide as the solution. Today, March 26, 2026, Noelia Castillo Ramos will be euthanized. The system that failed to protect her is now "solving the problem" by ending her life

What Scriptures led me, a Jew, to believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Part 1 Malachi 3:23–24: Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Adonai. He will turn the hearts of fathers to the children, and the hearts of children to their fathers—else I will come and strike the land with utter destruction. Judaism has long understood that Elijah will appear as a forerunner to Messiah son of David. We even sing about it during the Passover Seder. I was always taught that when Elijah comes, and when Messiah is revealed, the result will be unmistakable: peace on earth, restoration of Israel, worldwide knowledge of God. And if that does not happen, then the Messiah has not yet come. This is often used as a central reason why Yeshua is rejected as the Messiah... because He did not bring about the visible, national restoration described by the prophets. But this passage challenges that assumption. Malachi states that the redemption is conditional. “He will turn the hearts…” — ELSE God will strike the land with utter destruction. Malachi does not guarantee a sequence where: 1. Elijah comes (and Messiah by extension) 2. Redemption follows Instead, the text presents a different sequence: 1. Elijah comes (and Messiah by extension) 2. The people are called to repentance 3. If they do not repent, utter destruction follows This directly challenges the common Jewish expectation that it is impossible for Elijah to come and destruction to occur afterward. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was the greatest national catastrophe Israel has ever experienced and ever will. Total devastation. The Temple destroyed. The land struck in a way that closely mirrors the language of this verse—utter destruction. If 70CE was indeed the destruction that Malachi warned of, which is a very reasonable conclusion, we must therefore surmise: 1. Elijah must have already come 2. Messiah by extension must have already come 3. The call to repentance must have already gone forth 4. And that call must have been largely rejected The end of Malachi fits the New Testament narrative very well. Elijah and Messiah have come. Their message was rejected. Devastation followed. ——— My next post will explore how the Hebrew Scriptures convinced me of the Messiah’s second coming, when all Israel will truly be saved. The good news is that 70CE is not the end of Israel's story.
