FROM THE SCRIPTURES
Jewish objection to Jesus born out of wedlock.
- Deut 23:2 “One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord. Why was he allowed to read scripture (Aliya) at the bema and spend time at the temple?
Other questions about various Old Testament law (Deuteronomy 22:8-12)
- “When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.
- “You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled.
- “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
- “You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together.
- “You shall make tassels on the four corners of the clothing with which you cover yourself.
FOI Equip Classes:
Survivor Story: George Rishfeld
GEORGE RISHFELD
APRIL 10
In this April’s FOI Equip class, George Rishfeld will give his survivor story. George Rishfeld (b. 1939) is a child Holocaust survivor who was born in Warsaw, Poland. He was just six months old when World War II began, forcing his family to flee to Vilna, Lithuania. With George’s safety in mind, his parents decided to give him to Catholic friends who promised to raise George as their own. After being reunited with his parents after the war, George and his family emigrated to the United States in 1949. George has dedicated his life to sharing his story, as he believes Holocaust education is invaluable for preventing further atrocities.
