- Welcome to the Judaism 101 series.
In this series, you will be presented with basic information about Jews and Judaism. The purpose of this series is to simply offer a very basics, simple explanation about Jews and Judaism and hopefully answer questions you may have.
The Tanach is the basis of understanding the laws, philosophy, and history of Judaism. As such, studying the Tanach is the first step to understanding the whole of Judaism.

The Complete Tanakh - Hebrew Bible: www.chabad.org/library/bible_...
Someone asked for my email (I approved the comment but it isn't showing up for some reason).
I don't give out my email due to spammers and anti-Semites. If you wish to ask me any questions, you can ask them here.
The "minior prophets" were also seen as one book.
What is in common with the reading of the prophets is that the prophecies quoted in the new testament are not read in the synagogues (ie Is 52-53).
There is interesting schollarship on the theme of the sections and the tanakh itself but it doesn't fit the narative. John H Sailhamer did some interesting work on it '
No, the Minor Prophets are all individual books (except Ezra-Nehemiah as already stated in the video). The reason they are called “Minor Prophets” is due to the books being smaller than the other prophets like Isaiah or Jeremiah.
I really wish Christianity would find some new “arguments” instead of just simply repeating the same thing over-and-over. Your “argument” about Isaiah 52-53 not being read in the synagogue shows your complete ignorance of Judaism and why there are parts of the Prophets read each week during the Shabbat service. I’m guessing you are one of those conspiracy theorists who think that Isaiah 53 is a “forbidden chapter” in Judaism - that our rabbis “forbid” us from reading it. That is a complete LIE. Why don’t you actually do your own research and learn something instead of just repeating the same LIES you are told? Watch this vide and you will see how wrong your are about Isaiah 52-53 (ua-cam.com/video/DD_jA0WM2Wk/v-deo.html).
I’ve never heard of Sailhamer but I’ll look into his writings. I will however stick with the traditional teachings of the JEWISH teachers and rabbis about the JEWISH holy texts.

Britanica:
The Twelve, book of the Hebrew Bible that contains the books of 12 minor prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. In most versions of the Christian Old Testament, each of these 12 is treated as a separate book (e.g., the Book of Hosea), but in the Hebrew Bible they are consolidated into one book that is the last of eight books in the second division of the Hebrew Bible, known as Neviʾim (q.v.), or The Prophets. See Old Testament
(I quoted britanica just for the sake of time, there is a lot about this outside of britanica, it is common knowledge, check wikipedia or other sources).
The title minior prophets commes from Augustine. We allready spoke about Isaiah, you ignored everything and just copy/ pasted the standard reply and didn't engage with the arguments :) i do not think Isaiah is "forbiden", you just don't read it and you don't care about the Tanakh, you want to be "right" and just assert some things even tho it contradicts the reality (like the minior prophets ie).
Don't forget to stick to the rabbis that agree with you, because a lot of them (even in history) didn't agree with them.
P.S. Wikipedia claims Augustine popularised the term minior prophets, i didn't check it but found it funny
I approved your comment but it isn't showing up (not sure why UA-cam is hiding it).

MY RESPONSE: Have you actually ever seen a Tanach? The 12 books that are collectively called the “Minor Prophets” are SEPARATE BOOKS. They are simply classified as a collection in the Tanach but they are SEPARATE BOOKS. They are, together with the “Major Prophets”, part of the Nevi’im (Prophets) section of the Tanach.
Yes, they MAY have originally been written on one scroll because they were so short. This in NO WAY makes them “one book”. Writing a scroll is expensive and time consuming so it just makes more sense to write them together. The Torah is also written on one scroll but I don’t see you calling them “one book”.
I really don’t care who started calling them “Minor Prophets” (I can’t even find an ORIGINAL source that says it really started with Augustine). The FACT is, they are called “Minor” due to their LENGTH and nothing else.
I’ve already thoroughly gone over the Isaiah 53 issue and I’m not about to do it again. I’m tired of Christianity STEALING from Judaism and declaring that we Jews don’t know anything about OUR OWN HOLY BOOKS. I deeply care about the Tanach which is why I defend it from idolaters such as Trinitarian Christians who seek to defile it.
You are again showing your ignorance. As I said, do some research and find out what a Haftarah is and why it was implemented. This will answer your question as to why Isaiah 53 (and many other parts of the Prophets) are not read during the Shabbat service. This doesn’t mean they aren’t studied at all, it just means they are part of the traditional Shabbat service.

Bava batra 14B
If you really look into the first historical record of the Haftarah you will find a passage that is no longer read across the board. There is more than one reason for it but rabbis thinking themselves smarter than God is just one of them.
They are in rebellion against God.
You hate Christ and his disciples so much that it makes you blind. I do think the Torah is one book (and so does the source provided as do i ultimately think the Tanakh is). I even think it is clearer in the Jewish order. The whole book has one theme that is easier to see in the "Jewish" order.
@@kilervgmmm So, yet again another Christian uses the Talmud to try and “prove” their point while also speaking against the Talmud out of the other side of their mouth. I’m not surprised though. Hypocrisy runs wild in a lot of Christianity which is one of the multiple reasons I left that idolatry behind.
Bava Batra 14b? Really? Did you even read this text? It is talking about the Ark that was made during the time of Moses and the order of the BOOKS of the Tanach.
The Torah is FIVE books. In Bava Batra 14a:1 - it specifically talks about how to differentiate between DIFFERENT BOOKS that are written on one scroll. In Bava Batra 14b:8 it specifically talks about the BOOKS of the Prophets. It states how they are to be ordered IF they are attached (such as they would be in the modern-day Tanach). In 14b:9 it talks about the Twelve Prophets being a section of the Tanach. It still states they (specifically Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi - but it can be inferred to the other books) are each ONE BOOK of the Twelve Prophets. In 14b:11 they are talking about the SEPARATE BOOKS of the Writings.
That’s fine if you think it make more sense to have the books in the order of the Tanach. However, your own tradition (Christianity) chose to remix them and change them so you get a completely different reading and “storyline” from the “Old Testament” to lead you to “Christ”. Whereas the actual order of the books of the Tanach leads one to understand that forgiveness is always available to those who seek it WITHOUT the shedding of blood (which was NEVER a requirement).
Since it appears that you are completely incapable or unwilling to do two minutes of research, I will tell you what the Haftarah is and why it was implemented. The Haftarah is a selection from one of the books of the Prophets that is read after the weekly Torah portion is read. “Rabbinic literature does not discuss the origin of the practice of reading publicly from the Prophets in a formal cycle.” [source: www.myjewishlearning.com/article/haftarah/] Originally there was no set standard as to what was read but a later tradition developed so particular passages were read. In Megillah 29b the rabbis state that the Haftarah should be connected to the weekly Torah portion in some fashion (theme, genre). The tradition started due to the persecution of Antiochus Epiphanes because reading from the Torah was PROHIBITED. After this prohibition was rescinded, the tradition remained.
See? There is no “grand conspiracy” involved in what is or is not read from the Prophets. Again, Isaiah 53 is studied but it isn’t read during the Shabbat service. Why don’t you read Isaiah 49 where is states SPECIFICALLY who the SERVANT IS?
Many people are “in rebellion” against God - including trinitarian Christians who practice idolatry. You sound like someone who hate traditions yet you practice a faith completely based on tradition.
I am no longer blind because I left the idolatry of trinitarian Christianity. I don’t hate Christians but I do despise much of the dogma that is taught in Christianity.
