What were the Jews who turned away from Judaism to Christianity called? I believe there was a term for this, but I simply forgot, and don't have access to my reference resources for a while to refresh my memory... This is not an attempt at a debate or anything, I really just can't remember the term. Thanks, all! I don't think they called themselves anything other than who they were though 'The Way' was also used to label them. The gentiles that joined themselves to them were often called Judiazers I believe. The Talmid is a student mostly male ones if I am not mistaken and the Talmud is the oral torah. I could also be wrong! lol Mizz Talmid - translation - disciple "Talmid" - (m.; pl. "talmidim"); a male student "Talmid Chacham" - (m.; pl. "Talmidei Chachamim"); a Torah scholar; as in "HaRav hayah Talmid Chacham," "The Rabbi was a Torah scholar. "Talmidah" - (f.; pl. "talmidot'); a female student http://www.ou.org/about/judaism/tw.htm This is where I got the info about talmid. No matter really in the end its all about being a student/disciple isn't it!

But they never quit thinking of themselves as Jews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
