There have not been true Torah observant Israelites since the era of Ezra. Jesus preached from Torah and not the traditions of men. He made every opportunity to condemn the Pharisees of their man-made traditions.

You assert that there are no Torah observing Jews in the world, the evidence notwithstanding. Perhaps this was how you were raised and you just don't know any. Perhaps you deny that Jews are Jews. You can return our scriptures for a full refund and you shall have your reward.

Hey FReind before you ignite your antisemitism fuse by putting words in my post, take a break and deep breaths.

Torah is written Law given by God. That is what God told Moses the Israelites must follow neither turning to the left nor right. Torah, that's it not Torah and the traditions of Aaron or his sons. We do know when man-made traditions were introduced the Israelites sinned by idolatry, sacrificing in the wrong places, and departed from God's Way His Torah. Jesus upheld Torah not man-made traditions. Period. I offered the reasoning in three posts now.

The Jews today cannot follow Torah fully especially the atonement because they have no temple. You know the history. So if you want to base a Christian theological practice (prayers for the dead) on man-made Jewish traditions Christ condemned have at it.

What evidence would that be?

The evidence screams that they hate the Torah from God, and replace it with their own false torah of men, and die in their struggle to master the commandments of men, just as catholics do.
