@@maycho4743 Very bold of you to speak ignorantly of the Quran. Mind you that the chapter of Ezekiel berates Jews and even insults them for their transgressions!
@@RotisivThe role of the prophets is to prove to the people that they will correct and change their actions, this is what Muslims and Christians do not understand - the fact that there is criticism does not stem from hatred. Unlike the words of Muhammad and Jesus, they speak out of hatred. The proof that God loves the Jews is precisely because he sends a prophet to speak to them because he cares. On the other hand, the fact that Muhammad speaks in a disgusting way about all Jews is an expression of hatred and jealousy, not something else. Every person makes a mistake and the wisdom to correct it - Muhammad and the Koran for some reason do not understand this. It also shows how reliable the Jewish Bible is that it presents a critique of what the Koran and Jesus do not do about themselves! Jewish literature, unlike non-Jewish literature, does not hide flaws. Just the opposite - highlights and emphasizes to correct, the opposite of all the religions of the Gentiles such as Christianity and Islam.

I am a muslim, and i know this story : [al-Baqarah 2:65-66] And Allaah tells us their story in more detail in Soorat al-A’raaf, where He says (interpretation of the meaning): “And ask them (O Muhammad) about the town that was by the sea; when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them, for they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah) And when a community among them said: ‘Why do you preach to a people whom Allaah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?’ (The preachers) said: ‘In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allaah), and perhaps they may fear Allaah.’ So when they forgot the reminders that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but with a severe torment We seized those who did wrong because they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah). So when they exceeded the limits of what they were prohibited, We said to them: ‘Be you monkeys, despised and rejected’”

@Iyas kelu Nice try. But the Quran reserves criticism and praise for all communities, on the basis of their monotheism and obedience to God. Any criticism begins and ends with qualifications. The following verses are evidence of this: "Lo! Those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians. Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right, there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve." (Al-Baqarah, ayat 62) "If you ˹O Prophet˺ are in doubt about ˹these stories˺ that We have revealed to you, then ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt," (Yunus, ayat 94) "And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth, and by it, establishes justice." (Al-A'raf, ayat 159) "Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration."

As for hadith, there are copious hadith that simply are made up and irrational, even many of the so called "strong" hadith.

@@uriariel958 Actually they were punished according to judaic laws if anything. as for quraish, it's the clan of the prophet himself as well as the ones who persecuted them before there was even an army. Mohammed died after unifying the land of the arabs and never stepped foot outside, after that the khilafa came into conflict with the sassanid and roman empire and rightfully fought war against them. after that came a period of caliphates who strayed away from the religion, some upholded it. the biggest one that strayed the most was the ottoman. while islam itself never contributed to that nor did the prophet, the people themselves did. In islamic law, you can't kill without justice and truth, and you cannot wage an aggressive war, until you are attacked first, and seek peace when peace is offered. In practice that is hardly respected and you can see it to this day, there are many islamic nations but none of them implement fully the islamic law. they pick and chose the part they want.

Dear Rabbi Quran is not written by Mohammah(PBUH) it is last revelation by Hashem for guidence of humanity which confirms early prophets and books, and our Nabi is confirmed in your books, but many people are denying it
Your "prophet" have no connection to us at all you have a different religion than us,the last prophet was Malachi in 520 BC. If you book was from gd we will follow it we got our book in million of witnesses in mount Sinai
Just a question don't you think that it's also hypocritical for Muslims to be quoting tovia against the Christian faith but praising him for not critiquing islam and using him to confirm their own faith And I'm asking as a Muslim
@@shamimsarker839 Indeed, it is mandatory to accept and follow the Last and final Messenger of Allah Sayyiduna Muhammad (ṣallā -llāhu ʿalayhī wa-sallam).
I kind of find it funny and irony that I TOUCHED MY QURAN after all these years being not religious just to see and learn about what Rabbi said about Quran verses. I might be saying that i owe a thank you for being a reminder for me to AT LEAST learn more and more. I do believe Allah (SWT) INDEED give us awareness from ALL DIFFERENT KIND of sources.
Lol Rabbi. You've encouraged Muslims to believe even moreso that Islam is the true religion of God, not Judaism. You might as well convert to Islam or tell these people the truth that you don't believe the Quran is from God
As the Quran explains... If you have doubts in the Quran or don't understand the verse in the Quran? Ask those who have knowledge of the books, ex. Jewish Rabbi and Christian scholars, who know better than any one else in their history of the books.. And i find this as a Muslim, very fascinating to hear from the the good Rabbi explaining some of the Quran's verse that are in the Torah and Anjeel.
@@zakaria87100 nope. This is the Islamic commentary on the verse. One says it’s the scholars of Torah and other interpretation says it’s scholars of both Torah and Bible عن ليث، عن مجاهد ( فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ ) قال: أهل التوراة. حدثنا ابن وكيع، قال: ثنا المحاربي، عن سفيان، قال: سألت الأعمش، عن قوله ( فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ ) قال: سمعنا أنه من أسلم من أهل التوراة والإنجيل
I have to disagree. Surah 3 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. This verse is VERY clear
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Faith is from Yemen and unbelief is from the east. Tranquility is found among people who tend to sheep. Pride and showing off are found among the uncivil owners of horses and camels.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 52 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim
An Ape in classical poetic Arabic is a way of describing an "Imitator" i.e. Those who violate the Sabbath be ye apes, despised" The Quran is explaining to the Jews that those of you who violate Shabbat , are not practicing the mitzvoth in the way they are supposed to be kept. The story in the Quran which calls Jews apes refers to a group of Jewish fisherman who set traps on Shabbat.
Big Fan Rabbi. Peace. The reference is strictly and clearly to those who Transgressed the Sabbath. After reminding the Jews of God's favor upon them, that he chose them and provided them prophets and guidance, that they are promised paradise if they believed then the scripture says: وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْاْ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ (65) And yea well knew who transgressed the sabbath amongst you, so we said to them be as well as apes despised (65). Qur'an Chapter 2. Al Baqara. The Heafer. God is saying if you do not obey God's clear given law, violate the Sabbath, disobey what is clearly God's law, what is the difference between you and a lusty, indifferent ape. Personal note: *There is* a mountain over you, and over us. A mountain of responsibility as believers, to follow the guidance as best we can, to declare war on our base instincts and inclinations (jihad), to show kindness, mercy and charity to all dispossessed and to follow the Scriptures given to us in all of God's creation. Plant, animal and human. If you don't think that is a mountain, I don't know what is. There is another mountain of mention in the Qur'an: لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (21) And had we sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would see it fearful and contrite from the Majesty of God; and these are the parables We expound for people that they may reflect (21) Qur'an Surah Al Hashr - Chapter of the Gathering (the last gathering, day of judgement), Chapter 59.
I agree knowledge is the key HOWEVER I would also say that he conveniently ignores aspect of Islam that don't suit his narrative. The Quran has many biblical stories retold with plenty of things added and left out because who is he to criticise Islam YET he'll criticise the Gospel because ONE word is changed from the Old Testament to the Gospel. This is extremely hypocritical and biased.

@@Rotisiv they should have kept the Shabbat.
@@RotisivThe role of the prophets is to prove to the people that they will correct and change their actions, this is what Muslims and Christians do not understand - the fact that there is criticism does not stem from hatred. Unlike the words of Muhammad and Jesus, they speak out of hatred. The proof that God loves the Jews is precisely because he sends a prophet to speak to them because he cares. On the other hand, the fact that Muhammad speaks in a disgusting way about all Jews is an expression of hatred and jealousy, not something else. Every person makes a mistake and the wisdom to correct it - Muhammad and the Koran for some reason do not understand this. It also shows how reliable the Jewish Bible is that it presents a critique of what the Koran and Jesus do not do about themselves! Jewish literature, unlike non-Jewish literature, does not hide flaws. Just the opposite - highlights and emphasizes to correct, the opposite of all the religions of the Gentiles such as Christianity and Islam.

I am a muslim, and i know this story : [al-Baqarah 2:65-66]
And Allaah tells us their story in more detail in Soorat al-A’raaf, where He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And ask them (O Muhammad) about the town that was by the sea; when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them, for they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah)
And when a community among them said: ‘Why do you preach to a people whom Allaah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?’ (The preachers) said: ‘In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allaah), and perhaps they may fear Allaah.’
So when they forgot the reminders that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but with a severe torment We seized those who did wrong because they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah).
So when they exceeded the limits of what they were prohibited, We said to them: ‘Be you monkeys, despised and rejected’”

This is a matter that, if God wills it, will be sorted out this next century amongst Muslims. Much of the strife within Islam comes from hadith that were invented or falsely attributed to the Prophet Muhammad by rulers later on that wanted to claim whatever ridiculous thing they tried to pass off as proper or decent as some sunnah.

Cuck
This rabbi is fair and just
In Quran Allah says not prophet Muhammad.
The issue is proof. Who did this? Was. It your Allah or Muhammad.? I need a Muslim scholar that can answer the athousand questions I’ve about Islam, maybe it’s from then that I can convert to Islam. Islam has spread by sword, your prophets armies killed one of our clans (Quraish).. The Banu Qurayza (Arabic: بنو قريظة, Hebrew: בני קוריט'ה; alternate spellings include Quraiza, Qurayzah, Quraytha, and the archaic Koreiza) were a Jewish tribe which lived in northern Arabia, at the oasis of Yathrib (now known as Medina), until the 7th century, when the men were sentenced to death and women and children enslaved after they betrayed the pact made with the Muslims[1] following the Invasion of Banu Qurayza by Muslim forces under Muhammad.
@@uriariel958 killed after BREAKING their treaty with the muslims by conspiring against them. Their punishment was given by one of their own it wasnt even the Prophet pbuh who chose the punishment. What happens when one party breaks their treaty with another party and goes against them at a time of war even in present day?
@@uriariel958 Actually they were punished according to judaic laws if anything. as for quraish, it's the clan of the prophet himself as well as the ones who persecuted them before there was even an army.
Mohammed died after unifying the land of the arabs and never stepped foot outside, after that the khilafa came into conflict with the sassanid and roman empire and rightfully fought war against them. after that came a period of caliphates who strayed away from the religion, some upholded it. the biggest one that strayed the most was the ottoman.
while islam itself never contributed to that nor did the prophet, the people themselves did. In islamic law, you can't kill without justice and truth, and you cannot wage an aggressive war, until you are attacked first, and seek peace when peace is offered.
In practice that is hardly respected and you can see it to this day, there are many islamic nations but none of them implement fully the islamic law. they pick and chose the part they want.
@@uriariel958 why the hell you want to be a Muslim you already a Jewish from "sons of Israel" ,why you want to follow fake religion?
And Muhamamd's scribe who suggested other wordings and had them accepted by Muhammad. Which along with the many errors prove islam and the koran false.
Salam brother rabbi , thank you for confirming the truth , may Allah reward you
I've heard of that, but didn't think much of it. Thanks for clearing that up!
It's so true what you said about the yemans working well in Muslim countries My great grandfather was a rabbi and was a jeweler for the king of Aden
10:55 That is very true, now a days people manipulate text to their favor, but then how is one following the religion when they are knowingly manipulating it.
Second Islam came to end the whole Christianity confusion, and also brought some more updates.
I think I'm really starting to like this Rabbi... I've now watched serval of his videos, and as a Muslim, I've found myself agreeing with much of what he has said. From the Rabbi's perspective, I would like for him to tell us what the stumbling block is between Judaism and Islam?
That's actually a very good question as I was thinking about it.
Can we put this question to him so we can have his perspective on this! Is there any way online?
I'm not sure... maybe he has an email address, or maybe he'll read this board, but yeah, I would love to get his perspective. I have an idea of what he might say, but then again, the Rabbi has surprise me on several point already. Salam.
This has been addressed by the RaMBaM, many years ago.
www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/maimonides-islam-good-christianity-bad-muslims-bad-christians-good/2013/11/15/
Randy Lowe Thanks, (mashallah)... If you have it, could you please provide the link?
Kenneth White There is no need for that, because the teaching is already given by the RaMBaM from his work yad hachazakah. Islam ultimately preaches that there was a corruption of the Torah by Jews, and that Muslims are here to replace Jews as the chosen inhabitants of Israel.

Thank you Rabbi Tovia singer for explaining this, may God reward you. Keep the sabbath, but stay away from the wine ;)
/Your muslim brother!
No in judaism we specifically need to drink wine. At least every week.
Alot but not everything is the same on our religions. They are still different religions
You are our half brother though 😃
Great respected Rabbi , may The Almighty reward you for your true explanation , allow me to add a verse to support your lecture , Sura Al gumaa ( congregation , Friday) verse 5
Quote from the Holy Quran, Surat Al-Jumu`ah (The Congregation, Friday) - سورة الجمعة '62,5'
Described those who got the Torah ( to spread it into the world) but the did not as a donkey who carries books , it is not an insult as most of westerner claim , it means they did not do their obligation to carry the word of God
@@rlg6728 The Rabbi is telling you to not read verses out of context and you are listing verses that Christians over and over like to use to stir up controversy and hatred toward Muslims and the Quran. Why don’t you list the verses prior and post to the verses you listed so the actual Context emerges? Peace brother.
Please excuse my changing the subject, but does anyone know why sometimes when I write a comment,extra words get inserted into my statement,changing my meaning?
brother you are very wise and honest... as a muslim i would like to confirm that you are a true follower of prophet moses peace be upon him... Allah bless you
He follows God not Moses...
Now that's an educated rabbi. I wish all the people of the book read each others holy books before discussing about religion to them. He knows exactly what quran thinks about jews. What a great scholar of religion.
Great understanding and a very knowledgeable Rabbi.. Thank you!
Unbelievable! Rabbi Tovia is well equipped with knowledge because he gives quality time to studying different text types with a very open mind. You are a role model for many who aspire to gain knowledge. Hashem bless you. Shalom.
Slam Rabbi, I have love and respect for you.
Salom Aleikum Rabbi, It was well explained. It make sense. Thank you.
Keep going Rabbi. May Allah bless you. Your message is an informed one.
Thank you so much for the clarification...
Thanks for your great videos rabi it seems like you have really good understanding of the Quran regarding how we should understand it through the context
Someone needs to give this man credit.. this man , this wonderful Rabbi, is just great. He always talks in context, he never assumes or listenes to islam haters. God bless you brother 🙏.
You know thet thurth the hate an atisemitism in Islam: not only calling Jews apes, pigs too, and the Quran also tells not to be friends of Jews, that Abraham was a Muslim, etc. hate hate and lies. The Hadiths in more antisemite commanding to kill the Jews, even those hiding not fighting behind a tree or a rock in order to help to bring the Judgment day
God bless this man . He is a true Jew . Friend of Moses who spoke to God.
I think I also read this in the tanach . that this story is mentioned also there if I am not mistaken.
May Almighty Allah give the Rabbi hidayat.
It's absolutely fascinating how well versed he is in all 3 major religions..
To be able to quote and sight so accurately amazes me
The Hebrew song at the end of the video is very moving. Can somebody translate it for me? Can you direct me to a link where the song is sung as an isolated video or audio. Who is the singer?

Can you tell me how many rakat in ghusl, if you can't answer, can you tell me how many in wudu?
Can you tell me what's wrong with Islam that Judaism corrects? And why would you convert to trinity paganism from pure monotheism Tawhid in Islam? I suspect you as a liar.
Thank you Rabbi. You will always receive blessings. Peace to all.
Can I know the title of the song played in the last minutes?
Very informative video from a professional Rabbi. Thank you 🙏🏻
The Quran is the truth from our Lord The Most High.
Don't forget the holy Bible respect from a Muslim
And what is used to find objective truth? Logic...
Put two and two together and stop saying crap like “our lord most high” which makes you sound religious and crazy not knowledgeable in 2022.
God is logic now be faithful to the concept that pearly created everything that is existing (logical)...
All forms are based on the substance of logic. Logic is inherently about logically dividing uncertainty (chaos/nothingness) into certainty. That is the tree of knowledge of good and evil (dichotomy is the main kind of logical division, “true or false”) at the center of all creation.
Logic and the primary logos (hashem) are the root of creation as we know it.
Israelites who went against the Lord were turned into apes and pigs not all of them.

Please interview Dr. Joseph Lumbard.Anyway what's the name of the song in the end?
the rabbi happened to got it wrong in the Quran God is speaking not mohammed peace be upon him
No the Rabbi is Right. It’s Mohamed speaking Gods words just like Moses spoke Gods words.
There’s no proof of that. Actually our God is different from both the Islamic & Christian gods. Both of u claim that God changed his mind, how can that be?? The Torah can never be changed & replaced by any book, impossible.
no man. Allah, is the one and only god of creation (separate from creation and is not creation itself). If you worship the God of creation... do i have to continue?
@@rflxna3227 Allah is Elohim The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Who chose Moses to be the first Prophet.
The personal name of This God is Yehova and He is Not a human and doesn’t speak at all in the Christian Bible or the Quran.
Islam just means to submit to God. It is No different than any religion which tells you to follow Gods laws. The Only difference is that in the Torah Hods words are recorded by Moses, Joshua Ezekiel Jeremiah Isaiah and All the other major prophets as God is speaking. Non of that exists in the Quran, only through Mohamed.
Islam was a way to go back to monotheism.
Such a fair answer and being calm at the same time!! This brother is indeed a every well educated in his faith may Allah bless u!!
Thank you for clarifying this issue ❤
Very interesting insights here. Thanks.
Subhan Allah the rabbi is agreeing with Prophet Muhammad .
how could Mohammed get the translation right if all others got it wrong!!!
BECAUSE THE QURAN NEVER CHANGE NO ONE PUT HAND ON IT
@L Lawliet tryna sound cool knowing english and according to the language ''it seems that you lack reading comprehension'' should be the phrase, without question mark. the Question could be ''do you lack...'' don't you see that it seems you lack...'' or something...Also applied to the previous comment of yours, check it out: ''I wonder if you have an intellect''. Are you telling him you are wondering (making it an affirmation) or are you asking him if he has an intellect? question you'd be: ''Do you have an intellect?'' which whould be a dumb question anyways showing you write things in an acting manner and the sentences you put out typing are thought and not coming from heart. Im no better than you, you are no better than me, we are soul living in body-minds, Love is our nature, the love you have for your mother and father should be the same Love you have for me and this other brother, just relax a bit and open up your heart, I love you

Wonderful video. Thank you Rabbi and may Allah bless you.
The Allah of the Jews and Israelites might bless him but first he has to admit his loyalty to the God of the Jews and Israelites, or of the god of Islam. They are not the same God or the scriptures would be identical in detail.

Lol Rabbi. You've encouraged Muslims to believe even moreso that Islam is the true religion of God, not Judaism. You might as well convert to Islam or tell these people the truth that you don't believe the Quran is from God
The truth is so beautiful! Thank you!
what do you think about MANNA
it is mentioned in Quran

The mountain may refer to "loads of responsibility to follow the faith in the rightest way possible and do what is right and stand with what's right."
As the Quran explains... If you have doubts in the Quran or don't understand the verse in the Quran? Ask those who have knowledge of the books, ex. Jewish Rabbi and Christian scholars, who know better than any one else in their history of the books.. And i find this as a Muslim, very fascinating to hear from the the good Rabbi explaining some of the Quran's verse that are in the Torah and Anjeel.
Its a mistake to ask Christian about the Quran they are idol worship
That's not what the verse says, it says only Muslim scholars
@@zakaria87100 nope. This is the Islamic commentary on the verse. One says it’s the scholars of Torah and other interpretation says it’s scholars of both Torah and Bible

I have to disagree. Surah 3 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. This verse is VERY clear
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Faith is from Yemen and unbelief is from the east. Tranquility is found among people who tend to sheep. Pride and showing off are found among the uncivil owners of horses and camels.”

Name of the song pleas????
This is all extremely accurate. Nice vid
An Ape in classical poetic Arabic is a way of describing an "Imitator" i.e. Those who violate the Sabbath be ye apes, despised" The Quran is explaining to the Jews that those of you who violate Shabbat , are not practicing the mitzvoth in the way they are supposed to be kept. The story in the Quran which calls Jews apes refers to a group of Jewish fisherman who set traps on Shabbat.
Thank you cousin Tovia:) I learned a lot from your videos.
Yeshua speaking:::Mathew 5:17...17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
At least he’s being honest. That’s respectable.
Big Fan Rabbi. Peace. The reference is strictly and clearly to those who Transgressed the Sabbath. After reminding the Jews of God's favor upon them, that he chose them and provided them prophets and guidance, that they are promised paradise if they believed then the scripture says:
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْاْ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ (65)
And yea well knew who transgressed the sabbath amongst you, so we said to them be as well as apes despised (65).
Qur'an Chapter 2. Al Baqara. The Heafer.
God is saying if you do not obey God's clear given law, violate the Sabbath, disobey what is clearly God's law, what is the difference between you and a lusty, indifferent ape.
Personal note: *There is* a mountain over you, and over us. A mountain of responsibility as believers, to follow the guidance as best we can, to declare war on our base instincts and inclinations (jihad), to show kindness, mercy and charity to all dispossessed and to follow the Scriptures given to us in all of God's creation. Plant, animal and human. If you don't think that is a mountain, I don't know what is.
There is another mountain of mention in the Qur'an:
لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (21)
And had we sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would see it fearful and contrite from the Majesty of God; and these are the parables We expound for people that they may reflect (21)
Qur'an Surah Al Hashr - Chapter of the Gathering (the last gathering, day of judgement), Chapter 59.
Everyone should seek knowledge like this man.
I agree knowledge is the key HOWEVER I would also say that he conveniently ignores aspect of Islam that don't suit his narrative. The Quran has many biblical stories retold with plenty of things added and left out because who is he to criticise Islam YET he'll criticise the Gospel because ONE word is changed from the Old Testament to the Gospel. This is extremely hypocritical and biased.
Rabbi Singer you are precious! It's HaShem given wisdom to teach the truth to this planet. May He, blessed is He, keep you safe agains our enemies, and give you great health. B"H
Thank you
