No, women don’t learn Talmud. And we are a people, not a religion. That is why a convert becomes a Jewish person, not a Jewish believer; he or she will forevermore remain a Jew, no matter their belief down the road — גֵּר שֶׁנִּתְגַּיֵּר כְּקָטָן שֶׁנּוֹלָד דָּמֵי ger shennitgayyer k'ḳattan shennοlad damei (‘a ger who has been converted is like a newborn infant’).
Breh, you know I can’t let you get away with this type of comment/belief system
I gotta keep that same energy with you as I do with “Hebrews Israelites”
No race based theology/tribalism in religion allowed
Remember
Exodus 19:5 “Now therefore, IF ye will OBEY MY VOICE INDEED, and KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto ME above ALL PEOPLE: for all the earth is mine:”
It’s not the people or race but those who follow God and believe in him
What Good is it to GOD if you’re a Jewish “Person” who doesn’t believe in him?
There’s no “GOLDEN TICKET” which guarantees a person heaven or salvation or whatever the purpose of a religion based on the BODY, FAMILY OR TRIBE he or she is born into
There’s no GOD DNA or ancient Israelite Gene and neither can this be proven.
It’s a belief system and a covenant
And even in the Bible according to God we see:
Genesis 26:4 “And I will make THY SEED to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give UNTO THY SEED all these countries; and IN THY SEED shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;”
Genesis 26:5 “Because that Abraham OBEYED MY VOICE, and KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, and MY LAWS.”
The point is for ALL NATIONS to be blessed.
And JESUS is the seed of Abraham which has impacted the WORLD positively more than anyone even you would agree is an ISRAELITE
And just remember me and you (by Old Testament standards) are no different in the eyes of GOD (I’m assuming you’re a pretty faithful follower of Torah) because
Exodus 12:48 “And WHEN A STRANGER SHALL SOGURN WITH THEE, and will keep the PASSOVER to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; AND HE SHALL BE AS ONE THAT IS BORN IN THE LAND: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.”
Exodus 12:49 “ONE LAW shall be to him that is HOMEBORN, and unto the STRANGER that sojourneth among you.”
Only difference now is that since JESUS came the outward method of IDENTIFYING someones Faith or as being part of Israel has been replaced by the inward idea of those circumcised are by HEART:
In
Romans 2:29 Paul makes the argument that “a Jew is one inwardly” and that “circumcision is a matter of the heart.” This is really not a new argument, though. The Old Testament is filled with references to circumcision of the heart; it was woven into the covenant language of Deuteronomy.
And further that we can ALL BE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM by Gods promise:
Galatians 3:28 “There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in MESSIAH JESUS.”
Galatians 3:29 “And IF YE BE MESSIAH’S, THEN ARE YE Abraham's SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE.”
^ All this doesn’t take away from what you identify as your history, identity, culture, linage or homeland
It just means God is accessible to every one, and NOT limited to a specific people who are featured in the Bible narrative.
