The Starvation in Gaza
It is indeed heart-breaking to see pictures of innocent children starving in Gaza. I have lived long enough to remember decades’ worth of such images from every country around the world caught up in war. The fault lies with the far-right Israeli government and with...
Could future Talmidi Yahwist countries swear some kind of national covenants with God, just like the Covenant with Israel?
Shabbat shalom, my dearest sisters and brothers, When there are more Sabbaths than there are assigned Torah portions for any given month, we re-read the second half of the previous week’s portion (Ex 34:10-28). I therefore didn’t just want to repeat last week’s...

Talmidi Yahwism: Ethical Yahwism For Gentiles
Shalom everyone, Supporters of Paul often claim that Paul’s teachings provide the ONLY true way for non-Jews to follow Yeshua, without needing to convert to Judaism. So, online, whenever I have the opportunity to talk about Talmidaism, I often mention the subject of...

The Two Trials of the Prophet Yeshua
Shalom everyone, The two trials mentioned in the name of the book refer to the Jewish trial of Yeshua before the Sanhedrin, and the Roman one before Pilate. One of the purposes of the book is to contrast the justice of Torah law and the injustice of Roman law - such a...
Dan Burmawi on Islam – the Thoughts of an Ex-Muslim
Shalom everyone, I wanted to understand what makes extremist Muslims tick, what makes them believe in a system of cruelty, oppression and murder. I found the Twitter-posts of Dan Burmawy very enlightening and eye-opening in this regard. He is an Ex-Muslim who grew up...
