Jesus as an Orthodox Jew Was Jesus an Orthodox Jew? This idea might seem surprising and controversial, but when comparing the teachings of Jesus with Rabbinical tradition, it is identical. For almost 2000 years, believers from all over the world have misunderstood who Jesus really was, as the Gospels seem to show Jesus as a rebel who revolts against the "Pharisees," thus making the theme a story about Jesus verses the Jews. When viewing this through a proper understanding of the Talmud, which has preserved the oral tradition from first century Judaism, the entire context of all that Jesus said shifts, and we see him as Rabbi Yeshua, and his teachings are in line with the school of Hillel and of Rabbi Gamaliel, whose opponents were the Pharisees of the school of Shammai and the Sadducees, who were more secular or agnostic in their beliefs. In Judaica: Salvation is of the Jews, Gregory Alexander offers amazing new insights into the life and teachings of Jesus, and shows that Rabbinical Judaism, along with the mysteries of Kabbalah, combine to reconcile Jesus with the Jewish religion into which he was born.
