“Behold, days are coming, says the L-rd, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Yisra᾽el, and with the house of Yehuda… but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisra᾽el after those days, says the L-rd; I will put my Torah in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their G-d, and they shall be my people…”
-Jeremiah 31:31, 33
“Rabbi Elazar says: Be diligent in learning Torah, and know what to respond to one who denigrates the Torah. Know before Whom you labor–the Master of your work is trustworthy to pay you the wage for your activity.”
-Pirkei Avos 2:14
“While writing this commentary of the New Testament, I had no other goal, as I have said in the first volume, but to reconcile these two enemy sisters: The Church and the Synagogue… to show everyone that the New Testament only comes to show that the root of existence is in the unity of G–d (ahdut ha-Bore) … and also to strengthen the law of Moses (Torat Moshe)… I publish this commentary (to Matthew) in Hebrew for Jews, to introduce them to the New Testament who, until now, have not recognized its beauty (eynam makirim ’et yofya)… Notwithstanding the contrary misconception, the New Testament is in no manner contrary to the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) or to the Talmud.“
-Rabbi Eliyahu Tzvi Soloveitchik, Kol Kore

“And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his son Yeshua the Messiah and love one another, just as he has commanded us.”
-1 John 3:23
“Anyone who believes in him [the Messiah] will live, and one who does not believe in him will go to the nations of the world and they will kill him.“
-Midrash Ruth Rabbah 5:6
“That is that He commanded us to listen to all of the prophets, to do all that he commands – even against a commandment or a group of these commandments. And this is on condition that this be temporary, and that he not command a permanent addition or eradication – as we explained in the introduction of our composition in the Commentary on the Mishnah. And the verse in which the command appears is His saying, “to him shall you listen” (Deuteronomy 18:15). And the language of the Sifrei (Sifrei Devarim 175:2) is, “‘To him shall you listen’ – even if he tells you to transgress one of the commandments of the Torah […] temporarily, listen to him.” And one who transgresses his word is liable for death at the hands of the Heavens. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, “And [if] anybody does not listen to the words [of the prophet] who speaks in My name, I will require it of him” (Deuteronomy 18:19). And it has already been made clear in Sanhedrin (Sanhedrin 89a), “[In the case of] three, their execution is at the hands of the Heavens: One who transgresses the statement of a prophet, a prophet who violated his own statement and one who suppresses his prophecy.” It is all from His saying, “does not listen (yishma) to the words [of the prophet] who speaks.” Read into it, “Who shall not voice (yashmia).” And the regulations of this commandment have already been explained at the end of Sanhedrin. (See Parashat Shoftim; Mishneh Torah, Foundations of the Torah 7.)”
