The Real Kosher Jesus: Revealing the Mysteries of the Hidden Messiah

by Michael L. Brown

Jesus-Yeshua.Jesus-Yeshua.The most influential Jew who ever lived. The most controversial Jew who ever lived. He has been called a rabbi, a rebel, a reformer, a religious teacher, a reprobate sinner, a revolutionary, a redeemer. Some have claimed he was a magician, others the Messiah. Some say he was a deceiver; others say he was divine. Who is this Jesus-Yeshua, and why are we still talking about him two thousand years later? Recently a prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbi presented a new version of Jesus, a “Kosher Jesus” that Jews can accept. By reclaiming Yeshua as a fellow Jew and rabbi, he has taken a very major and truly wonderful step in the right direction, but by re-creating Jesus, he has also robbed him of his uniqueness.
The Real Kosher JesusThe Real Kosher Jesus takes you on a journey to uncover the truth. It is a journey filled with amazing discoveries and delightful surprises, a journey that is sometimes painful but that ends with joy, a journey through which you will learn the real story of this man named Yeshua: the most famous Jew of all time, the Jewish nation’s greatest prophet, the most illustrious rabbi ever, the light of the nations—and Israel’s hidden Messiah.

Book Quotes

“Then a white man raised his hand and said that, in those days, he had been involved in the Ku Klux Klan. Immediately after that, a black man sitting next to him—but a stranger to him—raised his hand and said that he had been a member of the Black Panthers! The two of them laughed and hugged while the audience cheered. That is how Jesus deals with racial hatred and prejudice, by changing the heart and bringing reconciliation, not by violent confrontation.”

― Michael L. Brown

“Leonard Ravenhill: The prophet is violated during his ministry, but he is vindicated by history. He is the villain of today and the hero of tomorrow. He is excommunicated while alive and exalted when dead! He is dishonored with epithets when breathing and honored with epitaphs when dead. He is friendless while living and famous when dead. He is against the establishment in ministry; then he is established as a saint by posterity.1”

“Christianity did not create the Holocaust—indeed, Nazism was anti-Christian—but it made it possible. Without Christian antisemitism, the Holocaust would have been inconceivable.…”

“When a prophet is accepted and deified, his message is lost. The prophet is only useful so long as he is stoned as a public nuisance, calling us to repentance, disturbing our comfortable routines, breaking our respectable idols, shattering our sacred conventions.”7 We will always have a love-hate relationship with the prophets.”

― Michael L. Brown

“Augustine once commented, “If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.”

― Michael L. Brown

“He summarized His approach to dealing with Sabbath laws in three simple statements: The Sabbath was made for mankind, not mankind for the Sabbath—Mark 2:27 The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath—Mark 2:28 It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath—Mark 3:4 His teaching on this subject was miraculous and revolutionary in its simplicity and purity. In addition, His teaching was more than just a commentary about the Sabbath. In the Jewish world there is a position called “Posek Ha Dor”—the top rabbi who passes judgment and determines what becomes law in his generation. Yeshua was speaking as “Posek Ha Dor.” He was not suggesting law, He was setting the law. He was not making commentary about the law, He was determining it.43”

“The entire world cannot contain My glory, yet when I wish, I can concentrate My entire essence into one small spot.”

“What an unusual rabbi! Today we often hear about the importance of being “inclusive,” but what people often mean by inclusion is, “Accept me as I am and affirm me as I am.” (I call this “affirmational inclusion.”) Yeshua did something much better. He practiced what I call “transformational inclusion”: he met people where they were and changed them.”

― Michael L. Brown

“The Messiah enters [the Hall of the Sons of Illness] and summons all the diseases and all the pains and all the sufferings of Israel that they should come upon him, and all of them come upon him. And would he not thus bring ease to Israel and take their sufferings upon himself, no man could endure the sufferings Israel has to undergo because they neglected the Torah.22”
