But as you say this is a forum about a people. Jesus is one person. He was a person who has very little to do with Judaism for that matter other than the suffering the descendents of his followers brought upon Jewish people.

As I have said before, Jesus barely rates a footnote in Jewish history, so it is a very skewed point to try and relate every discussion on this board to Jesus and how he affects Jewish holidays and thinking.

The reality of the situation is that he has no effect whatsoever on Jewish thinking. He was not a prophet, he is not considered even to be a tzadik (learned man) amongst Jews.

I am worried that people who are here to learn about Judaism are going to get a very distorted view of who we were and are.

I let it slide during Hannukah when Hepzibah called the Shamash on the Menorah a part of Jesus. I bit my tongue til I bled, but I held it.

Now that Passover is being portrayed as having anything to do with Jesus, I have to speak out. The last supper was a Pesach Sedar.

That means that it was around before he was born and the fact that we are celebrating it now means that it survived him being strung up by the Romans.

Judaism and Jesus as a religious icon are mutually exclusive ideas.
