“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

6. The Jewish writings called, “the New Testament,” are not equal, but are subordinate to the Torah given by G-d at Sinai (and therefore not intended as a Halachic authority).
8. We do not yet have a kosher translation of the “New Testament,” but its general teachings align especially with Hasidic Judaism (e.g. serving G-d with and beyond ‘the letter’).

12 But we request of you, brothers, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you and have charge over you in the L-rd and give you instruction, 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. 14 We urge you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after what is good for one another and for all people. 16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is G-d’s will for you in Messiah Yeshua. 19 Do not quench the Spirit; 20 do not despise prophetic utterances. 21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil. 23 Now may the G-d of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Master Yeshua the Messiah. 24 Faithful is the One who calls you, who also will bring it to pass. 25 Brothers, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27 I adjure you by the L-rd to have this letter read to all the brothers. 28 The grace of our Master Yeshua the Messiah be with you.

THE SECOND LETTER TO THE THESSALONIANS
Chapter 1
1 Shaul and Silvanus and Timothy to the assembly of the Thessalonians in G-d our Father and the Master Yeshua the Messiah: 2 Grace to you and peace from G-d the Father and the Master Yeshua the Messiah. 3 We ought always to give thanks to G-d for you, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the assemblies of G-d for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring. 5 This is a plain indication of G-d’s righteous judgment, that you may be considered worthy of the Kingdom of G-d, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is just for G-d to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well, when the Master Yeshua will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, 8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know G-d and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Master Yeshua. 9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the L-rd and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His holy ones on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed. 11 To this end also we pray for you always, that our G-d will count you worthy of your calling and will fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 so that the name of our Master Yeshua will be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our G-d and the Master Yeshua the Messiah.
Chapter 2
1 Now we request you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Master Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the L-rd has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed—the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in the Temple of G-d, displaying himself as being G-d. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Master will slay with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming— 9 the one whose coming is in accord with the working of the Adversary, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason G-d will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but took pleasure in wickedness.
Tuesday (3):
2 Thessalonians 2:13 → 2 Thessalonians 3:18 (23)
13 But we should always give thanks to G-d for you, brothers beloved by the L-rd, because G-d has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faithfulness to the truth. 14 It was for this purpose that He called you through our Good News, that you may gain the glory of our Master Yeshua the Messiah. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us. 16 Now may our Master Yeshua the Messiah himself and G-d our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, 17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
Chapter 3
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the L-rd will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; 2 and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith. 3 But the L-rd is faithful, and He will strengthen and guard you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in the L-rd concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. 5 May the L-rd direct your hearts into the love of G-d and into the steadfastness of the Messiah. 6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Master Yeshua the Messiah, that you keep away from every brother who walks in a disorderly manner and not according to the tradition which you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; 9 not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example. 10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat either. 11 For we hear that some among you are walking in a disorderly manner, doing no work at all but acting like busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Master Yeshua the Messiah to work in a quiet manner and eat their own bread. 13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary of doing good. 14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame. 15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 16 Now may the L-rd of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The L-rd be with you all. 17 The greeting is with my own hand—of Shaul—which is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write. 18 The grace of our Master Yeshua the Messiah be with you all.
