I love history. It's one of the reasons I love the Mishnah - it's packed with historical snapshots from the world of Yeshua and his disciples! Here's an example, along with a couple bonus rants on how you can prove that the Jews really are Jews and how James called the meeting places of the early Christians "synagogues". This is a takeaway from my newest Mishnah Snapshots study. We also talked about these questions: ~If synagogues aren't commanded in Torah, where did they come from? ~How can you prove that the Jews are really Jews? ~How old are Jewish liturgical rites like Mussaf and Neilah? ~What do the events of 4.17 and 5.9 tell you about the Hebrew calendar? ~Why remember "family over beauty" when watching dancing girls?
