Technically, he's right. Not all Jewish people are believers. Being Jewish is not a religion, practicing Judaism is. But it does seem an odd thing for a rabbi to say.

It actually isn't. Being a non-practicing Jew and being of the tribe aren't mutually exclusive, and a rabbi as well as Orthodox Jews understand that.

I honestly don't think I could possibly care any less what you have to say on any given subject. Just thought I'd let you know for future reference.

Interesting. So the "truth" is that every Jew is a Zionist.

That's some pretty straight-up antisemitism there.

You do know that the Revelation of John is not a Jewish book and therefore has nothing to do what so ever about the Jewish faith and the Jewish attitudes?

At every form of intellectual endeavor, [such as: art, literature, banking/finance, technology, science, media,
entertainment, music, academics] Jews/Hebrews are either best in the world, or contenders for best in the world.

Concerning God, we all know Jews/Hebrews wrote the Bible.

So, it is understandable that Jews presume they must understand God better than non-Jews.

However, Hebrew scripture refutes that presumption.

Hebrew scripture reveals the Hebrews routinely rejected the leadership of God.

Hebrew scripture reveals those with the most pronounced "Hebrew mindset"
were the MOST RESISTANT to the leadership of God

Beginning with the brothers selling Joseph into slavery.
Joe the next youngest and most beloved of his father with the dreams of grandeur.
The brothers lied and said he was dead ... and were sure surprised when he became their savior and overlord !
Then Moses was initially rejected ... and had to flee Egypt. and Even after Moses was sent back empowered ...
the Hebrews wanted to stone him a few times .....
the gold calf worshiping Hebrews angered God so much that none of them got into the promised land ...[except the two good spies]

The Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you,
for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.
they have rejected Me from being king over them.
they have rejected Me from being king over them.
they have rejected Me from being king over them. 1 Samuel 8:7

Then for centuries they routinely rejected God's word .. God's prophets ..
15 The Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers,
because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; 16 but they continually mocked the messengers of God,
despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, until there was no remedy.
2 Chronicles 36

Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity,
Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the Lord, They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away from Him. Isaiah 1

Then those most expert in the Law ... men professing their fidelity to the Torah rejected Messiah and demanded His crucifixion

SO GET OFF THE HEBREW HIGH HORSE

If anything, in regard to getting to know God,
a "Hebrew mindset" is a retardant. An obstacle/hurdle to be overcome.

Stop telling the bs that I need a "Hebrew mindset"
or know Hebrew language to understand God.

Or need to call Messiah by some Hebrew name or some mongrel word meant to sound Hebrewish but spelled with English letters.

I don't. Nobody does.

We all need a rational mind led by the Holy Spirit to understand God
