Antisemitism is rising in our nation, The United States. There have been reports of injuries to Jewish people nationwide. Meanwhile, one man is in jail for threatening to bomb a Kosher diner on Cornell University’s campus. Pro-Hamas rallies have been held and at one of these rallies, “Burn the Jews,” was chanted by the crowd. Most of these incidents have involved college students.

Last updated on: October 23, 2023 at 8:52 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

There was a group of people who lived in TN and Eastern KY known as Melungeon. Their ancestry and origin have long been debated. However, there is a lot of evidence to suggest they were at least partially Jewish. Is there a lost tribe of Jews in Appalachia? Evidence For A Lost Tribe of Jews In Appalachia There is much reason to believe the Melungeon people are a lost tribe of Jews in Appalachia. The book Appalachian Lore says that... Read more

Can Jews Deny Our Faith? Berlin Warns Jews To Hide Their Faith

Last updated on: October 16, 2023 at 3:27 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

0 Comments

Berlin has warned Jewish people to not let their faith be seen publicly. Yet, Judaism teaches us to never deny our G-d. Does this time, when our lives are endangered, allow for an exception? Can Jews Deny Our Faith? Oddly, I found myself doing research on this question just after Rosh Hashanah. This seems to be a point of contingency among Rabbis. The Torah On Can Jews Deny Their Faith While Rabbis may debate this, The Torah itself is... Read more

Holocaust and Genocide: Never Again Is Now

Last updated on: October 11, 2023 at 3:22 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

The horrors that are happening to Israeli citizens have brought out the antisemites worldwide. I personally have been threatened with rape on my own Facebook page, forced to listen to anti-Israel jargon in my classroom, and received many rude and threatening messages. Meanwhile, BLM has come out in support of Hamas and there have been many Pro Palestine rallies. At one of those rallies calls of “Gas the Jews” rang out. Jews are not safe anywhere we go right now.... Read more

Pastor Climbed Into Lion’s Cage

Last updated on: October 4, 2023 at 4:35 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

This week in weird religious news, a Christian pastor climbed into a lion’s cage to prove G-d would protect him. He claimed he was protected by G-d, just as Daniel was protected in the lion’s den. However, his feat was nothing like the story of Daniel, and this mockery of The Torah is deeply offensive. Daniel In The Lions Den In the story of Daniel, Daniel is thrown in with hungry, adult lions, used to fighting gladiators. Daniel was protected... Read more

Can a Christian be a Witch?

Last updated on: September 29, 2023 at 11:02 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

0 Comments

We have been discussing female authority and power in The Bible. Along the same lines, while doing some research recently, I came across several stories of “Christian Witches.” This was not a new idea to me having grown up in The Appalachian Mountains. However, I suspect it may come as a shock to many Christians. So, can a Christian be a witch? Can a Christian Be a Witch? Those Christians who grew up in churches that burned Harry Potter are...

Should A Rapist Get the Death Penalty According to the Bible?

Last updated on: September 26, 2023 at 10:58 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

0 Comments

When the subject of rape comes up in Biblical discussion, we often hear about disgust for the law that says the rapist must marry his victim. However, we rarely talk about the fact that the Bible does give us another option. Should a rapist get the death penalty according to the Bible? The story of Dinah provides us with the answer. Dinah’s Rape As stated in a previous article, the Bible provides two responses to rape. The first solution offered... Read more

Why Was Abraham Asked to Sacrifice Issac?

Last updated on: September 18, 2023 at 3:06 pm By Rebecca Wallace Keene

0 Comments

The binding of Issac is a difficult story for many people. Why would Abraham be asked to sacrifice Issac, his son? What was G-d doing? Is this a test? Is this a lesson? Did Abraham hear a voice of someone other than G-d? These are all valid questions, and I think, perhaps, I have the answer. G-d Tempted Abraham The story begins with the words G-d tested Abraham. A more accurate translation of the Hebrew is G-d TEMPTED Abraham. The... Read more

Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the Jewish New Year. This year is Year 5784. We celebrate Rosh Hashanah on the date G-d created Adam and Eve. During this holiday we cast off that which no longer serves us, and we prepare for a good year ahead. Rosh Hashanah: The Day of Judgement A prayer for Rosh Hashanah reminds us that on this day everyone passes before G-d. It is then decided who shall live, who shall die, who shall... Read more
