 | Revisiting the Ancient Hebrew Meaning of ''Fasting'' |
Fasting: Appealing for God’s Mercy and Justice
by Ed Nelson
In Genesis Rabbah XXXIII:3 a story is told about the Jewish people fasting during a severe drought:
In the days of R. Tanhuma [fourth century], Israel had need of a fast [for the severe drought] so they went to him and requested: “Master, proclaim a fast.”
He proclaimed a fast, for one day, then a second day, and then a third, yet no rain fell.

| The New Wine of the Scribes and Pharisees |
Did Yeshua (Jesus) Reject Traditional Law?
by Ed Nelson
The esteemed, late Jewish professor, David Flusser, in his book, Jewish Sources in Early Christianity (MOD Books, 1989) suggests that Yeshua (Jesus) did not do “away with the rulings of the Sages and [thereby] put an emphasis only on the Written Law” (p. 23).

Did Yeshua (Jesus) Ever Speak the Name “Yahweh”?
A Study of Matthew 27:57-67
by Ed Nelson (www.ed-nelson.com)
The question whether Yeshua (Jesus) spoke the name Yahweh is commensurate with the question of whether He, according to his critics, committed blasphemy.
These two questions go together.
Due to the first century Jewish understanding of blasphemy as speaking the ineffable Name, i.e, by law, the unutterable Name outside prescribed boundaries, if He did one, then, in the eyes of his judges, He did the other.
