The Suffering Tzaddik
How does the death of Messiah bring atonement? The Pharisees explain why the Messiah's death can atone for someone else's sins.
Man of Sorrows
Who is the Suffering Servant described in Isaiah 51:13-53:12? Christianity and Judaism have contended over the identity of Isaiah's "Servant of the LORD" since the first recorded debate between a Christian and a Jew. Learn more about the Suffering Servant in Jewish Interpretation.
The Love of God
Vine of David presents the second installment in a series of articles translating to English, for the first time ever, Paul Philip Levertoff's classic study, Die religiöse Denkweise der Chassidim (Leipzig: J. C. Hinrichs, 1918). Translated by Vine of David volunteer Kevin Hanke.
Leftovers and the Last Seder
One of the more special times of year for believers in Messiah is the Passover festival in the spring. The Chasidic table custom of shirayim creates an uncanny parallel to the rites of the Last Seder.
