Facts about the "Hebrew Primacy" movement

[Dawid]

Shlama Rafa,

You said:

"plus what sort of person (ie: Trimm) would refer to himself as being a "Notzri" when that is a derrogatory rabbinic reference to Y'shua?"

My understanding is in MODERN Israel 'Notzri' is a reference to ANYONE "Christian", and this includes 'Messianic Jews'.

Now "Yeshu" in MODERN Israel, CAN mean "Let his name be obliterated, and not be remembered, and not be inscribed in the book of life".

If I remember correctly, that is. If that's not it exactly, it's close.

What am I missing about 'Notzri'?

Can you tell me?

Thanks.

Shlama, Albion

In modern Hebrew Notzri usually refers to a Catholic, or other orthodox Christian. It's the same way in Arabic. It's based on the passage in Matthew that says that Yeshu'a went to Nazareth to fulfill the prophecy that he would be called a Nazarene. In Hebrew that would be Notzri. Then in Acts Sha'ul is brought up for trial before Felix, and they say that he is a leader of the Notzrim.
