Shema,
You are correct about the distinction between Messianic Jew vs.
Netzarim Jew. I doubted that the others on this list knew the
difference and the implications were that he was "Messianic". Dean
seems to discount anything not orthodox so I was reaffirming that he
was a Jew that believes in Yeshua.
I don't have to guess who he is as I know him personally and met him
before he took the pen name "Rabbi Yosef". My family and I have also
had the pleasure of his and his family's company in our home for
dinner.
It sounds from you post that you may be the one that caused such a
flap in his life. If that is true, I'm saddened that you would not
let him continue to quietly provide insights into the Book of Mormon
from the Jewish perspective. I've spoken to several key players at
BYU who were impressed and gratefull for his proferred insights. Many
LDS scholars are now persuing studies that I first encountered in
discussion with "Rabbi Yosef".
