Judaism as it is practiced today (Orthodox, such as the Hasidim) is the same as that in Jesus time.
No, it’s not. First off Hasidism didn’t even start until the 18th century in Eastern Europe. Second off at the time of Jesus was the time of the Second Temple when ritual animal sacrifices where practiced. This ended after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE which was followed by the Bar Kokbha revolt. This post Second Temple Judaism ushered in the period of Rabbinic Judaism.
 
Is this not correct? Yes or No, DonLeon: Is Judaism a false religion?

I have heard it said that Jews and Muslims worship the same God as Catholics. In that case protestants worship the same God as well, but protestantism is also a false religion, and yes, they do worship falsely because only Catholicism “worships” God in the true sense of the word.
As for Protestants and Jews, an emphatic NO. Their worship is true, but, I would say, in complete. It is not worship in its fullness.as our worship is. They worship and honor God, but not as we do. Therefore I say theirs is NOT false.

As for Islam, since as with others, it is man made and proven to be not inspired of God, it is therefore false, although they “worship” the same God.

This is my FINAL posting on the subject. Acccept it or not. Meanwhile God Bless and hold to your faith without predjudice.

I know that the Hasidic movement started recently, I gave it only as a common known example of Jewish Orthodoxism (there are many Jewish Orthodox sects). As for Worship, when the Temples were destroyed the Jews did not stop their worship of God, They had synagogues (where Jesus prayed also) that were led by synagogue presidents and scribes (similar to rabbis). Rabbinic Judaism began after the Romans destroyed the second temple. Orthodox Jewish worship, with few minor changes, is the same today as it was then. You can check with any Orthodox Jewish Rabbi or Rebbe for confirmation. (Rabbi is a teacher of the law, and Rebbe is a Grand Rabbi).

P.S. Conservative and reform Judaism is the equivalent of Protestantism and therefore different from Jewwish Orthodoxism. Orthodox Jews do not recognize these movements as true Judaism.

I meant to comment on this:

Other than worshiping in the Temple at Jerusalem, since it is no longer in existence, the Jews (Orthodox) still worship as Jesus did in the Synagogues of His time, with some minor changes over time.

There is no longer a need for priests and servants of the temple since it no longer exists, but the family (named Cohen) from which the priests will be elected, is still in existence.should the temple ever be rebuilt. According to the Covenant, there can be only one temple.

Question: If and when the Temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem, what will be placed in the Holy of Holies? The Ark has gone missing since before he birth of Christ. That brings out the question as to what the high priests were doing when there was nothing in the Holy of Holies even during Christ’s time. Those with the name Cohen will become the priests. Are all those Cohens from all the different groups, Reformed through Orthodox, eligible? Will they institute animal sacrifice? If not, what do they plan to sacrifice?

To answer your questions, truthfully I do not know. I am not privy to that information. I can only guess and speculate and in most instances I would be wrong. 🤷

As for the Ark of the Covenant, rumor has it that some Abbysinian Copts are in posession of it. Whether this is true, or not, I don’t know, although there was a recent television documentary on the subject and the place where the Ark is kept was shown on TV.

I don’t have to check with a rabbi, I used to be Jewish.
 
…I simply question whether the Jews are still “The Chosen People”.
Yes. The covenent is everlasting. However, I’d like to examine some of what “Chosen” means, or might mean. My question, therefore is: What were they chosen for?

Part of the answer is to recieve the teachings of what we now read as Old Testement, and to prepare for the Promised One, to raise Him and teach Him, to have a society for Him. Truly then this Nation that was prepared for Him should be honored and respected as such. Seeing as God has not gone back on his Word and “un-chose” them; then it is my feeling that we should weigh our heart words carefully in how we speak of His Chosen People. Without the Hebrew Nations, we would not have recieved this Christ. The debate of who Jesus is or was with regard to the Great Annointed One, and how the religion split from the Jewish faith to form a Christian faith has worthy arguments; but the Jews remain God’s Chosen Race. The New Testament, the Fathers of the Church and the Doctors of the Church (as far as I am aware of anyway) have not proposed differently.

I am not an authority of that, and there might be Chruch teaching or docrine that can correct me. But, in all these centuries since Jesus’ birth, death, resurrection and assention, I have never heard of the Jews no longer being the Chosen race. I have heard many other things that have caused great sufferings in the realtionships between Jews and Christians.

Great! Would you know what the Jews plan to do about the missing Ark of the Covenant which was kept in the Holy of Holies? I too saw the TV programs about the Ark supposedly being in Ethiopia with a Jewish group that is now Christian maybe even some branch of Catholic.

It is my understanding that the Ark was taken before Christ. I believe it was taken or hidden about 500BC. What were the priests doing without the Ark in the Holy of Holies. Also if and when the Temple is rebuilt, will Jews perform animal sacrifices? And are all Cohens from Reformed to Orthodox expected to become priests? Thanks.
