Who am I to Deny or approve, what I say is that Simon Peter much well known as Saint Peter is not a Tzadik, History shows that there is no event in his life that caused any type of Kidush Hashem.
Quite to the contrary, he joined and institution t...
The case of Esther Ha Malka is surrounded by much deeper considerations, that are beyond this discussion, and certainly when it comes to your conception of convertion, then I can say that somebody that was converted by a lower bet din, remains a J...
1. But still Queen Esther didn't converted.
2. As you say, our only dogma is the halacha, and we don'tr even derive halacha from Ketuvim, much less from midrashim, only from the Torah.
Because otherwise, will give place, than in a thousand years...
Dear Aryieh, it seems that we Jews, don’t get it, The hole Torah is full of warnings about turning away and worship gods that are alien, shituf or not, and we still rationalize to make them Tzadiks.
And by the way to my knowledge Esther, never le...
I am not familiar with the Midrash Hagadol that you mention Aryieh, I am just trying to inject some common sense to all this anecdotal history of Simon Peter being a devote Jewish who appear to accept Christianity , only to save us; and to show hi...
Furthermore, The Mishna was compiled by the 35th Sanhedrin under Rabenu Ha Kadosh in Eretz Israel, first in Bet Shearim for about 13 years and later on Tzipori for 17 years.
David's anecdote said:
Afterwards, he made a Prayer Book (siddur tefill...
Shalom David.
The RAAVAD assertion that Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi finished compiling the Mishna in the year 189 CE , has to be correct. -Rabbenu Ha Kadosh was born in 135 CE and died in 219 CE- There are conflicting views as to the exact date of his de...
I got to add that the mishna was recolected by the 70 CE and Simon Peter was the first Pope of the Catolic church from 30 to 64 of CE, so apparently it looks that both are parallel, but the Mishnah is a recomplitation of our old tradiitions that c...

Parashat Vayishlah- What We've Learned From Today's "Laban"
In today'a commentary of parshat Vayishlach , Rabbi Mansour touches a point that I feel is important to every Jew in today's environment.
Parashat Vayishlah begins with the message of reconciliation that Yaakob sends to his brother, Esav, as he makes his way back to Eretz Yisrael. Yaakob informs his brother, "Im Laban Garti" - "I have dwelled with Laban." Rashi famously notes that the word "Garti" in this phrase has the same letters as "Taryag" - the representation of the number 613. Yaakob ess… Continue
