I don´t think Prager ¨pushes¨ Judaism more than it frames his understanding of the world in general. Judaism professes great tolerance and insists that all peoples - Jew and non-Jew alike - will have a share in the world to come.

And I´ve also heard him say many times of Kabalah that it´s too mystical for his tastes, and that he´s not really into mysticism at all.

When he mentions Jesus it´s in the most reverential terms. He was feted a year or two ago by an Arvada CO church for a night in support of Israel just off a plane from Puerto Rico in which American Airlines had lost his luggage and was given a kippah by a Christian at the church. His talk at that event was about Judeo-Christian America and how unique that is in the world.

I´d listen just a little more closely.

Thanks, onedoug. I guess you and I must have heard different programs, the times I heard Prager he sounded like he was on the side of the Kabbalists. He was defending witchcraft and magic saying it isn’t all that bad, etc.

There is only a minority of Jews who are not Talmudic/Kabbalists nowadays - Karaite Jews, they are vehement against both Talmud and Kabbalah, holding the Torah only. For which their fellow Jews have persecuted them terribly throughout the centuries, almost to the point of extinction.

The Karaites are what Christians would identify with as Old Testament Judaism. Ask one of them, and they will tell you in no uncertain terms that it was for what you see in the Kabbalah that Jerusalem was overthrown in 600 BC.
