Thanks for the link. I recommend that you also consider what Jewish Encyclopedia, and other Jewish sources have to say about Paul and his Judaism.

It's not surprising and sort of funny that post-first century Judaism has so largely defined itself in a reactionary sort of way with respect to Christianity. It's even more different from first century Judaism (in its many varieties) than the first century Jews who believed in Jesus as Messiah were.
