Curated Torah sources across every topic, from classical texts to contemporary responsa.
Rambam and Yerushalmi in Biur HaGra
The verified sources do not contain the specific Biur HaGra citation on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim where the Gra discusses the Rambam following the Yerushalmi. The sources address biblical exegesis, Zoharic commentary, and Shabbat law, but none include the requested GRA passage.
Messianic Criteria and Sabbatai Zevi
Classical Jewish sources establish criteria for identifying the Messiah through prophecy and rabbinic interpretation. These texts provide the scriptural and halakhic framework against which historical messianic claims, including those surrounding Sabbatai Zevi, were evaluated.

The Meaning of the Names Moshe and Yosef

References to Jesus in the Talmud
The Talmud contains several scattered references to a figure called 'Yeshu' or 'Yeshu HaNotzri' (Jesus the Nazarene), primarily in the context of halakhic discussions, aggadic passages about Gehinnom, and polemical encounters between Sages and early sectarians. These sources reflect how rabbinic Judaism engaged with and distanced itself from early Christianity during the late Second Temple and post-destruction periods.
