  • I've been hoping you'd continue on with this series (and yes, I've watched four videos of yours on early church rabbinic relations and all).

    Are there others I've missed - will you be making more?

  • @4trahasis, I have been teaching this online and someone has been recording it. It should be up on the UTOM(dot)org website in a few days. look for it there. Peace K.K.

  • Thanks for the lecture.

    Was there a first "official" rabbi, or was the evolution of the rabbi a slow progression along with the oral traditions? How did the role of the rabbi differ from that of the high priest?

    Thanks!

  • @vcdsomc , The short answer to your question is yes, the first "Ordained" Rabbi was Yonathan Ben Zakkai (C.70-90CE), for all intents and purposes, he was the father of Rabbinical Judaism.

  • I'm reading Josephus at the moment. He talks about the 'Presidents' of the Sanhedrin, but is unclear about the hierarchy. My list is...

    1 - Ezra

    2 - Zerubbabel

    3 - Joshua

    4 - Nehemia

    5 - Seriah

    6 - Mordecai

    any comments welcomed please

  • Most likely the Nasi (President) was a HaGadol (High Priest). I am not sure what you mean by "Hierarchy" Except for the Nasi, there was the "Av Beit Din" (supreme Judge) like a Chief Justice in our Supreme court. Other than that they each had equal voting rights. Hope I was helpful.

    John.

  • the tribes were scattered to europe

  • If Jesus was a Pharisee, as you claim here, then what would he have had to do to make you conclude that he was not a Pharisee? What acts or words would serve as proof, if not those already printed in the NT?

    Seeing as how he rejected the tradition of the elders (Mark 7:5-7), and it was adherence to these traditions that is the essence of Phariseeism/proto-Rabbinic Judaism, you seem determined to rewrite history.

  • Great info Bro.

  • Yeah. Other people remedy that by cutting out all of the dead space and working from a script.

    All that editing doesn't work on my buggy Windows Movie Maker and I lose the sincerity in my delivery when I work off a script.

  • OK, it took five or six times. I lost count. Now I think I'm ready for the next lesson.

  • "For you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free."
