"Framing Jesus: Debunking Rabbinic Accusations Against Jesus & His Early Jewish Disciples"
Who is the "bride of Messiah"? The Church? Messianics? Jews? Israelites? For nearly 2,000 years, the Christian Church has maintained that the "bride of Christ" is Jesus' followers united in their devotion to him. However, is it possible that Jesus was not only spiritually married to his students but also literally married to a real, historical woman? Orthodox Jewish rabbi Ovadiah ben HaKallah explores this possibility drawing from the New Testament, ancient rabbinic Jewish texts, and a collection of non-canonical Nazarene texts suppressed by the Catholic Church for centuries. While little can be proven beyond a doubt, a strong case can be made for the literal marriage of Yeshua when the subject is explored from a deeply historical, Jewish perspective - something which has not occurred until now.

"Framing Jesus: Debunking Rabbinic Accusations Against Jesus & His Early Jewish Disciples"
For centuries, Jesus of Nazareth has been a figure of reverence for millions—and a subject of controversy for many others. Among rabbinic Jews, Jesus has often been viewed with suspicion, even accused of various biblical crimes including witchcraft and idolatry. But where do these accusations come from? Are they grounded in history, or do they stem from repeated cultural misunderstandings, corrupted “eye witness” reports, and tit-for-tat polemical wars that span generations? In Framing Jesus, Rabbi Ovadiah tackles these difficult questions head on, unraveling centuries of misinformation and confusion. Combining scholarly rigor with compassion, this book challenges narratives that many Christians and Jews both have long held dear, offering a fresh and honest reexamination of who Jesus really was—and wasn't.
