Jesus is the Messiah. Sorry your rabbi lost. What exactly is the Rabbi offering anyone anyway? He’s destroying week one’s faith, but offering them what in return? There can be no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood. None. All the good works in the world are raggs. Sin cannot be undone, only paid for. The Temple has been gone for 2000 years and there’s been no sacrifice. Or perhaps God Himself sent His Son to be the final and perfect sacrifice? The entire Bible speaks about Jesus, even the geneologies.
Could I stand toe to toe against this guy? No. He’s very brilliant. I am not and don’t know the Bible like I should and shame on me for that. But unlike the rabbi, I have been before the Throne of God, have been washed of my sins by the Blood of The Lamb, and have been filled with The Holy Spirit.
One day I hope I can call the Rabbi “my brother”, but so long as he remains blinded by God from seeing and understanding what he has clearly memorized, I cannot.
This does seem to be a legitimate question.

The division of Isaiah into chapters and verses is a Christian invention. The context of Chapter 53 is set out in Chapter 48 where Isaiah describes his mission as the messenger of God, and God says to Israel, “You are My servant, Israel, about whom I will boast.”
I know who He is.

Attacks? I don't know any of the people in the video, but all I saw was a girl asked a question, and the guy in front answered it. Did the girl not raise her hand first?
14. As many were astonished at you; saying His appearance is too marred (ruined, corrupted) to be that of a man, and his forms (outline, description) to be that of the sons of men:
15. So shall he startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they perceive:
Who is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53?
Obviously the one nobody's going to recognize, identify.
53.1. Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed..
This rabbi within the first two minutes denies 1) the book of Isaiah is inspired writing, and 2) that Isaiah even wrote the book. He asked the question does anyone know what is in Isaiah 52 or 58 without looking? I suspect the average Jew doesn’t know either (and most likely a good number of rabbi). He made the claim that the kings of the nations wrote the books yet Isaiah spends many chapters talking about the destruction of these nations. Hardly the things the kings would write. I didn’t need to watch further as it is a waste of time.
When the Ethopian asked Philip to explain to him the suffering servant, Philip had no problem in explaining Isaiah 53 to him and how Christ was the suffering servant. It was through Isaiah and specifically this section the Ethopian came to an understanding of the truth. BTW-attention rabbi-it should be noted that Philip was a Jew. It should also be noted that at least 12 different major sections of Isaiah is quoted in the New Testament and in many cases they attribute these quotes to Isaiah-not some kings. Sadly, the Jews have never been able to understand the “suffering servant” aspects of Isaiah.
I did not read the “attacks” but he is simply wrong to the truth. If one cannot 1) believe the scriptures to be the infallible word of God, and 2) that Isaiah wrote the book, I’m not sure there is much point in any discussion with the rabbi. His mind is darkened. He can’t even accept his own Old Testament as coming from God.
