From the very beginning, men and women have been attracted to each other. We were created that way. It’s in our instincts, in our psychology, in our genes. And all that stuff that is hardwired into us we have to balance with morality, ethics, and social cohesion in general. Enter religion. Most, if not all, … More The Baby and the Bathwater
This article from Haaretz (The Globe) discusses the modern Rabbinic Seder. I have a few disagreements with it. First it describes a Hebrew spring festival replaced by a myth about Egypt. The author, no surprise given that this is Haaretz, subscribes to the theory that the Exodus story was invented and did not actually occur. … More Origins of the Rabbinic Passover Seder
The week of Passover (the Chag Hamatzot) is the most important holiday in the Jewish year, and like most other Jewish holidays, involves commandments and customs regarding food. While Rabbinic Jews shun leavened bread and grains during their Passover week, except for wheat grown and blessed especially for making matzot, Karaites do things a little … More Food for the Chag Hamatzot
The Sadducees are a topic of much debate and conjecture. Many different beliefs are ascribed to them, and all of the accepted sources are those hostile to the Sadducees. Imagine reading the history of the Republican Party as written by the Democrats or vice versa. Dr. Jona Lendering, a Dutch historian, wrote an article about … More The Sadducees, the Pharisees, and Judaism

The uniqueness and oneness of YHVH as God and Creator. The truth of the Torah as given to Moses. The perfect nature of the [written] Torah which requires no additions or supplement. The concept of a reward for those who keep the Torah. The holiness of the Temple in Jerusalem and its status as a … More Karaite Declaration of Faith
The Rabbis tell us that the written Torah is too complicated for anyone to understand. Thankfully, they tell us, G-d gave Moshe a second “Oral Torah” that was handed down through the generations and was finally written down in the second century AD in a book called the Talmud. Never mind that the Hebrew Bible … More Is There an Oral Law?
In today’s difficult economic climate many businesses are trying to cut costs, especially restaurants. “So, what does that have to do with this blog?” you ask. Many Karaim in America, while not eating exclusively Kosher foods, do try to avoid forbidden foods, such as shell fish. Well, that has recently become a lot more difficult. … More There Is No Halfway
Despite the sensitivity of this topic to Jews and Christians alike, the trend of increasing Torah observance among Christians is important. There is an increasingly vocal presence of this Christian minority on the Internet. “Torah keeping” or “Torah observant” Christians are Christians who, recognizing that Yeshua (Jesus) was a Jew, and in an earnest desire … More Torah Keeping Christians
