The Pharisees (from the Hebrew perushim, from parash,
meaning "to separate") were depending on the time, a political
party, a social movement, and a school of thought among Jews that
flourished during the Second Temple Era (536 BCE – 70 CE). After the destruction
of the Second Temple, Pharisaic Judaism came to be known as Rabbinic
Judaism and then simply as Judaism. The Pharisees were an ancient sect of Judaism.
They existed during the time of rabbis Hillel the Elder and Shammai and
during the time of Jesus. They are the direct predecessor to what
eventually became known as Rabbinic Judaism. |

In contrast to other Jewish groups of the time,
such as Sadducees, Pharisees held that the books of the Tanakh (Hebrew
Bible also called the written law) have always been transmitted in parallel
with an oral tradition. They pointed as proof to the text of the Torah
itself where they said many words were left undefined and many procedures
mentioned without explanation or instructions; the reader is assumed to be
familiar with the details from other sources. This parallel set of material
was originally transmitted orally and came to be known as "the oral
law". By the year 200 A.D. much of this material was edited together
into the Mishnah, the core document of rabbinic Judaism. |

When a Gentile wants to become Jewish, the
Rabbis are required to try to dissuade him. |
|
|
|
"Can I convert to Judaism and still believe
in Jesus?" The answer is no. This is not something negotiable in
Judaism. |
|
|
|
There is only one way to become Jewish. That one
way is through an Orthodox-Jewish Beit Din (Court). To begin, you need to
find a Rabbi. |
|
|
|
4) You will
have to study a great deal. And then you will have to study more. When your
Rabbi feels you are ready for conversion, he will test you on the materials
he gave you to study. |
|
|
|
|
5) A rabbi will bring you before a Bais Din
(also pronounced Beit Din), that is, a Jewish Court, and set up an
appointment schedule. The Rabbi may still try and dissuade you a bit and
the Bais Din certainly will try. When they are satisfied that you should be
converted, and that you are sincere, they will set up the actual
arrangements. |
|
|
|
6) Men will need to get circumcised. Men who are
already circumcised undergo a ceremony known as "Hatafas Dam
Bris." This means that a small drop of blood is taken during the Bris
ceremony. |
|
|
|
|
7) One of the most fundamental rules in Judaism
is respect and honor for the Rabbis and Halachic authorities. |
|
|
|
8) It is impossible to properly fulfill Judaism
unless you are part of a Jewish community and congregation. |

for conversion by a Rabbinical court and be circumcised upon conversion] |

teach all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying

customs. |

must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. |

thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; |
|
|
|
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with

may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are
nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law. |

of the law [uncircumcised in the heart] your [physical] circumcision is made

2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision [non-Jewish believers in Yeshua as the

believers in Yeshua as the Messiah] which is by nature if it fulfil the law

is outward in the flesh: |

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew [praiser of YHVH],
which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart [one that

Titus was a non-Jewish believer in Yeshua and

Paul did not compel Titus to get circumcised
because he was a non-Jew who lived in exile outside the land of Israel. |

A non-Jew who lives outside the land of Israel
and believes that Yeshua is the Messiah and is circumcised in the heart
(follows Torah with the help of the Holy Spirit) is not required to be
physically circumcised or go through a conversion process that requires
physical circumcision |

Abraham obeyed YHVH and his faith was counted as
righteousness. After Abraham believed YHVH (circumcised in the heart) then
YHVH asked him to be physically circumcised. |

|
|
A Jew who is physically circumcised but doesn’t
follow Torah is spiritually regarded as being ‘uncircumcised’ and a ‘debtor
to the whole law’ |

4) A non-Jew
who is physically uncircumcised and believes that Yeshua is the Messiah and
is circumcised in the heart (follows the Torah with the help of the Holy
