However, It is your prerogative with the choices you do in life. And even according to Yeshua it is advisable to keep the Torah ( Instructions or teachings ) . if you want to be considered Great in the Kingdom of heaven.
If you are a Christian craving to know more on the Hebrew-roots of your faith, I advise you to go to www.torahclass.com
Popular Christian feasts such as Christmas, Easter, the Sunday Sabbath ( All having Pagan influences, origins and rituals induced in them straight from the heart of Rome, with other oriental cultures ) are not needed for G-d’s people.
However, Hashem being the merciful Creator he is, miraculously makes room for Jew & Gentile in his kingdom despite our flaws. This was the quandary for the Early Jewish followers of Yeshua like Kefa ( Peter ) and more. Can we allow Goyim into this new sect of Judaism? or can we not?
Remember, there was no religion called “Christianity” when this amazing movement that changed the world began.
At least not till around 300 years after Christ's death we are told of Yeshua’s followers, Jews or Gentiles being unified in a Church branded as 'Christians'.
Gentiles can learn much from their Jewish brethren on keeping the Biblical feasts such as Shavuot, Sukkot, Pesach and much more of the beautiful finds in the Torah & the complete Tanach.
This is done to show love to the G-d of the Universe for his grace on us. Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior & Messiah supersedes any of this, that is if you want to dwell with G-d’s presence one day eternally & you want God in your life always !
My Friends, Jesus is the prophesied messiah. He was to be rejected by his own Jewish people. He was to suffer and lay down his life as an atonement for the sins of the world. He was to Rise from the dead and be a LIGHT to the nations, before his own people Israel would fully receive him. At which time he would return and establish his Kingdom on the Earth, as Messiah.
The Messiah is a descendant of King David, Jesus fulfilled that maternally. Rabbi’s are quick to point out that tribal affiliation is determined paternally in the Torah. However, when there is no male father in the family, tribal affiliation will come through the woman’s bloodline. Read the latter section of the book of Numbers ( B'midbar ) contained in the Torah for more information on this.
Interestingly, modern day Judaism puts so much emphasis on the Child being Jewish only if the Mother is jewish. The humor & the irony behind that train of thought is Jesus is 100% Jewish as his mother Miriam/Mary is Jewish and also a descendant of King David!

According to Scriptures and Rabbinic tradition it is acknowledged that the Messiah could be a pre-existing one. In other words Greater then just man.
The New testament gives us that answer, through his mother he is a physical descendant of David, but he is GREATER then David. That is why the New testament speaks of a Prophesied Virgin birth which was prophesied first in the Tanach at Isaiah 7:14.
So Yeshua is not just a descendant of King David but he is greater then David, in other words the Son of G-d!

The Messiah had to first come and deal with sin, that he was not just a King but also a Priest. We were told that there would be no disease when Messiah comes. Isaiah ( Yeshiyahu ) 35 describes there will be great miracles of healing.

Traditional Judaism believes in the atoning power of the death of the righteous. The Orthodox Jewish historian Rabbi Berel Wein describes the attitude of the Jewish people who suffered atrocities in the seventeenth century as follows:
Jews nurtured this classic idea of death as an atonement . . . the betterment of Israel and humankind somehow was advanced by their “stretching their neck to be slaughtered” . ...
This Spirit of the Jews is truly reflected in the historical chronicle of the time: “. . . he whom God loves will be chastised. For since the day the Holy Temple was destroyed, the righteous are seized by death for the iniquities/sins of the generation.” ( Yeven Metzulah, end of Chapter 15, quoted in Wein, The Triumph of Survival, 14 )

The words of Jesus on the Cross are words of accomplishment and compassion when he says “Father, forgive them for they do not know”.
With the Temple being destroyed for a long time now, Jews have zealously used prayer as a means of atonement. How can you substitute sacrifice with prayer when the transference of your sins to the 'Sacrifice' is the main point of the ritual?
Note: There is no Written-torah mandate giving leeway for 'prayer 'to be used in place of sacrifice especially at Yom Kippur, but Halakhah rulings has brazenly enabled this to happen!

Jewish objections to Jesus"
Most of these responses in favor of Christ’s messiahship are from the debates of a wonderful Jewish believer in Yeshua, Dr. Michael Brown.
This man Dr. Michael Brown was told by his Rabbis since a very young age that he only believes Jesus is the Messiah because he is ignorant of the Ancient Hebrew and the Talmud & because there is no substance to his beliefs. Accepting their challenge, he studied for years the Talmud, the Tanakh and other ancient-semitic languages.
After researching the Tanach & Jewish traditions in it's original language. Unfortunately for the Rabbi's he was only further convinced of Jesus Christ's rightful place as the Jewish Messiah!
He has been challenged for years and has appeared on many debates in favor of Jesus Christ as Messiah. Youtube his debates and gain a wealth of knowledge on the Messiah's attributes.

To my Jewish friends, Please go to this site : www.realmessiah.com to see his works, it has numerous testimonies even from Rabbi’s surviving the holocaust who accepted Yeshua. Using just the Tanach and Talmud, Dr brown shows why Jesus is the Messiah.
And if you believe you are a qualified Rabbi who can counter his views on Jesus the Messiah you can engage in a Public debate with him. An ordinary Jew will find answers to most of the questions you have had against Jesus Christ's messiah-ship in his site as well.
Also refer to www.imetmessiah.com too,
I have already posted some Lovely pictures & videos on my blog here, of Jewish souls here who came to Yeshua. Here you will find videos of modern day Jewish souls, who came to Christ after so many years of searching. Sometimes through heartache and pain before finally finding out the Truth, the Way and the Life!
If you are Israeli-Jewish and wish to see more videos in Ivrit only on these particular topics, please go to www.messiah.co.il.
According to Eitan Bar and Moti Vaknin of ‘One for Israel ’, this is what they had to say...
"The videos and website are our most advanced production so far, and perhaps the most advanced in Jewish Evangelism until today,. “In these videos we expose how the Rabbis have been keeping Jesus a secret from Israel for over 2,000 years. We even quote ancient Jewish sources showing that the Old Testament prophecies we refer people to were interpreted in the past just as we interpret them today - as being about the Messiah!”
A Jew would never accept human-sacrifice as it is forbidden in the Torah. However this concept of the atoning power of the righteous is not some gentile Christian idea! It was first nurtured by Jewish teachings, a lot of them from the book of Isaiah incidentally...
I encourage you if you are Jewish with a lot of inquisitive questions on the subject of Yeshua, please go to www.realmessiah.com to research more on the ‘Suffering Messiah’ . There is a Free e-Book as well being offered there which you can download for free called the Seven Secrets of the Real Messiah,
I find it amusing a Rabbi would say Yeshua is not the Messiah since there is no peace on Earth, when somehow they overlook the fact they are committing a horrendous sin on Yom Kippur by allowing fellow Jews to not even feel the need for a blood-sacrifice.
Somehow just like in most of Christianity today with it’s leaders offering shallow solutions, Judaism’s elders have found equal ways to get around the problem by offering what seems to be a solution on the surface through pious prayers & other rituals, but in reality contradicts the Written Torah itself.
Are there substitutes to Blood Sacrifice? Answering Rabbi's Objections to Jesus,
Next Yom Kippur, Click the above video. Why not try claiming the Sacrifice & blood of Yeshua for your sins, instead of the customary rituals? I'm not saying don't pray, by all means PRAY! It is the best link to your relationship towards your Creator. However, you still need a Sacrifice on your behalf according to Elohim in the Torah.
Moshe instructed Israel to spread the blood of the lamb on every door for protection of the first-born male in Egypt. We believe the sacrifice of Yeshua's righteous blood is far more powerful, that is why we claim on it boldly for our protection from enemy's of Hashem.
Notice immediately the changes in your life through claiming Yeshua's sacrifice, from your Spirit to every other facet of your life in a positive direction.
As for Yeshua not ushering in an era of peace. It says in the Great book that the Messiah has two characteristics one like David and the other a Suffering Servant like Joseph. After dealing with the problem of sin, the most critical problem for all humans to right our relationship with God which Jesus Christ did accomplish as the Suffering servant !
Only then, he will return next & he would rule like King David, where an era of peace on earth would happen.

Many places in scriptures Rabbi’s have interpreted scripture verse to their whims, as in the case of recasting King David's character through the Oral traditions, to project him as almost 100% righteous in his life's works, even though he committed adultery with Bathsheba and a few other sins recorded in the Tanach!
Btw, I am a huge fan of King David and his passion for G-d, but that does not give any human-being authority to alter the Holy word of God.
However, when you point a clear passage in the Tanach indicating Jesus Christ fulfilling his role as the Messiah. Usually these same intelligent men get highly emotional and at that point their usually esteemed logic seems very tainted & insincere.
The double-standards is truly obvious when the hysteria is removed out of the equation while examining the evidence pointing towards Yeshua. Interestingly, these very same Rabbi's can clear their consciences as well as other Jewish-voices while ignoring or silencing facts.
Any Jew reading this, my friend Yeshua proclaimed Adonai’s Glory to the gentiles! Through his disciples, his Holy Spirit. The Word of Adonai , the Torah and people preaching the Good news of Yeshua's saving grace, he has touched the hearts and souls of billions of people throughout the centuries. A True Light to the Nations.
How many Non-jews ever even heard of Maimonides? or for that fact other Rabbi's speaking about the Goodness of Adonai to Gentiles ?

Judaism tries their best to repel anyone interested in joining their faith. Tell me how can Non-jews learn about the True G-d of the Universe if you practice your faith in privacy and not share the truth about Adonai to the rest of the world?
Jesus/Yeshua is the Answer! He wants everyone saved. He is not selfish and keeps power, money or miracles to himself. He shares the good news of the God of Avraham, Yitzak and Yakov, he does that, continues to save us all and more!
