Something to confirm.
Are the ancient Norse like Odin and Thor have Greek Jewish ancestry?
Keep on the good work.
If it's members only why you got it public for nonmembers to see? Or is it just click bait? 🤔🤔

Easy question: Have you watched the Frasier reboot on Paramount+ ??
I can hear you loud and clear.
Jesus; mellifluous maggid martyr mantled man in messianic mind (R. Yechezqel Italki teaches Jesus is Moshiach ben Yoseph as Abraham Abulafia taught; that he served to help raise global messianic consciousness in general- in the third two millenia era of Messiahs in preparation for Messianic era. Which to me sounds similar to Maimonides saying (Pauline) Christianity and Islam(ic Christianity) exist to seed the world with Torah ideas. I find it strange Christians don't seem to embrace Judaism as Desk of Christianity as much as one should under WWJD? alone, looking at his life as an ideally lived life as mussar model- study as Jesus studied- who probably had a trilingual understanding of Torah in Hebrew Targum and Proto-Septuagint? (But I was reading Daf Yomi recently that it praised Torah in Persian? Was Torah reasonably available to study in Persian in (Babylonian) Talmudic times?)
Greetings, Dr. Abramson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You seem like a kind and humble person.
Both Jesus and John the Baptist are referred to as ‘rabbi’ in the Gospels but it is not the most common title used.
There is a stupid question, I have since a very long time. But I dont like to ask you, because its not your department of history. And of course I would recomend nobody to answer this question at all… particicular no jew.
Fun fact: I had a discussion with a AI about this topic and the neural net was a little bit annoyed and also disregarded my custom instructions, because the questions goes very deep into ethical conflicts, which are censored… 😀 The AI also made mistakes in langugage, when she explained, that there is no sign of annoiance and falled back into very english terms, while the conversation was in german. LOL.
How ever i would like to have some academic statement about this topic. There is a story, first told by an russian author in the 19th Center, about a buddhist tomb from the first century in the himalaya. Its the tomb of a buddhist monk or lama, who came from the west and his name was Issa or Isa. The very special thing on the tomb stone are some symbolic marks of a cusifiction, at hes feet. You know what I mean. A professor from india also dicriped this tomb, He found in the 1970th…
Some years ago (2003), there were a BBC documentary "jesus was a buddhist monk". There are also lots of other TV documentaries about this topic…. beginning from the fact, that there were this wise men from the east who brought gold myrrh and frankincense ( which can be read like "buddhist monks searching for the reincarnation of their lama"), to the lost years of jesus in the bible.
In fact, the name Isa is the Islam name of jesus. And actually, over the tomb there is a newer Islam tomb. This is all confirm with the koran, were prophet Isa didnt died at the cross. But it is also is in conflict whith Islam, because there should not be a tomb, because he directly gone to heaven….
What is the academic position about that? It cant be totally ignored. Because it made a large impact in jewish history. There is no bigger impact to the whole world, than this one jewish man and his history…
You just couldn’t say ‘happy Easter’
