How to Know Who Not to Worship - THERE IS NONE OTHER, with Rabbi Michael Skobac - Jews for Judaism
The Torah makes it clear that we Jews are to only worship the God who took us out from being slaves in the land of Egypt:
“And the Lord enacted a covenant with them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, neither shall you prostrate yourselves to them nor worship them, and you shall not slaughter [sacrifices] to them. Only the Lord Who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great might and with an outstretched arm, Him shall you fear, and to Him shall you prostrate yourselves and to Him shall you slaughter sacrifices. And the statutes and the judgments, and the Law and the commandment that He wrote for you, you shall heed to perform all times, and you shall not fear strange gods. And the covenant that I enacted with you, you shall not forget, neither shall you fear strange gods.” (2 Kings 17:35-38)
The Torah tells us that we don’t merely have blind faith in God. According to Deuteronomy 4:35, God made His existence clear to us and showed us that He is the One God through the incredible miracles that took place in Egypt, the Revelation of the Torah at Mt. Sinai and the 40 years of miracles that sustained us in the desert afterward.
The Torah also repeatedly defines idolatry as the worship of any God that our ancestors did not know (see, for example, Deuteronomy chapter 13).
At Mt. Sinai, none of our ancestors saw Jesus. He was unknown to our people until the 1st century when a small number of Jews interacted with him. But there was absolutely no reason to believe that he was responsible for liberating the children of Israel from Egypt and revealing the Torah to them at Mt. Sinai. We are to worship only the Creator of all existence and the God who liberated us from Egypt. Serving anyone, or anything else, is idolatry.

JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an outreach organization whose primary goal is to win back to Judaism those Jews who have been influenced by the following six threats to Jewish survival that are devastating the global Jewish community.
1. Hebrew-Christian missionaries convert thousands of Jews worldwide every year
2. Destructive cults cause many Jews to abandon family, friends and careers
3. Eastern religions, Buddhism and Hinduism are spiritual choices for many Jews
4. Apathy and ignorance leave many Jews unaware, unaffiliated and assimilated
5. Intermarriage is exploding with a 75% rate in some North American cities
6. Anti-Israel BDS on campus inhibits Jewish students from standing up for Israel and Judaism
To assist non-Jews who have left other religions, JEWS FOR JUDAISM also provides educational programs to help them embrace the Torah’s Seven Noachide Laws for Gentiles.
We achieve our goals through our worldwide Internet outreach, Social Media, free educational programs, educational literature and counseling services that connect Jewish people to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism.
“I am so grateful to have discovered the wonderful Jews for Judaism KZitem lectures by Rabbi Skobac. I am a Jew who converted to Christianity in college, but now, thanks to your online outreach, I have returned to Judaism. Thank you.” - Rebecca G.
In a nutshell, Jews for Judaism saves Jewish lives and keeps Jews Jewish.
