Examples of turning the other cheeck

The United States was founded with a unique understanding: its fathers (many fleeing oppression) saw government as limited, rooted in God-given rights and laws higher than any human ruler.

We are told in Exodus 23:13b You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips. Maybe we should start refering to them as they […]

Housed at Cambridge University Library, the Travancore-Cochin Hebrew Matthew (MS Oo.1.32) is a 17th – 18th century rabbinical Hebrew translation preserved among the Cochin Jews in India. This version is attributed to Ezekiel Raḥabi and reflects a Hebrew-oriented perspective. MS Oo.1.32 isn’t the only Hebrew Matthew (e.g., Shem Tov’s version exists) but does provide unique […]
