Welcome to my ongoing website about the Pharisees. More content is added weekly. 

The Pharisees had a foundation in applying love and kindness. Just as Yeshua was transformed into the Christ of Christians, known as Jesus, the Pharisees have also been transformed.

Unfortunately, the flames of anti-semitism have been fanned by many Christian teachings regarding the Pharisees. Those teachings have been taught by some pastors who would insist they are not anti-semitic.

How many pastors have preached that many people believe that Yeshua (Jesus) was a Pharisee? The synagogues were places where the Pharisees exerted significant influence. Yeshua (Jesus) actively taught in synagogues in at least five towns. 

Matthew 4:23 Yeshua went all over the Galil teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing people from every disease and sickness.

Luke 4:14 Yeshua returned to the Galil in the power of the Spirit, and reports about him spread throughout the countryside. 15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone respected him.

Luke 4:43 But he said to them, “I must announce the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns too — this is why I was sent.” 44 He also spent time preaching in the synagogues of Y’hudah.

John 18:20 Yeshua answered, “I have spoken quite openly to everyone; I have always taught in a synagogue or in the Temple where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

​

Luke 4:16 Now when he went to Natzeret, where he had been brought up, on Shabbat, he went to the synagogue as usual. He stood up to read, 17, and he was given the scroll of the prophet Yesha‘yahu. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of Adonai is upon me; therefore he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release those who have been crushed, 19 to proclaim a year of the favor of Adonai.” 20 After closing the scroll and returning it to the shammash, he sat down; and the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 He started to speak to them: “Today, as you heard it read, this passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled!” 22 Everyone was speaking well of him and marveling that such appealing words were coming from his mouth. They were even asking, “Can this be Yosef’s son?”

​

John 6:58 So this is the bread that has come down from heaven — it is not like the bread the fathers ate; they’re dead, but whoever eats this bread will live forever!” 59 He said these things as he was teaching in a synagogue in K’far-Nachum.
