Thanks Folah. I had these in mind.

Cyrus is important to mention but Jesus Christ is not?


Cyrus decreed the rebuilding of the Temple, and there were some who had seen the original Temple destroyed that witnessed the rebuilding of the second. It's a prophecy that went full-circle, and which some viewed both the destruction and completion of. yeshu is not mentioned in Jewish writings from his time. yeshu is not important to Judaism or to Jews, and wasn't in his time. His effect on Judaism is that of a false prophet who - or who's followers, in his name - advocated breaking Torah. He falls under the same category as anyone from Israel or from outside Israel that would wish to entice Jews to worship false gods and join false religions.

Of course you think he is important, he is your god. But to Judaism he is a Jew who may have lived, who is described in the GT as engaging in false prophecy and enticing Jews to break commands from G-d. He and people like him are warned against in the Torah and Tanach.

Netanel
I asked for strength, and G-d gave difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and G-d gave me problems to solve. I asked for prosperity, and G-d gave me brawn and brain to work. I asked for courage, and G-d gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love, and G-d gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favors, and G-d gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed. My prayers were answered.
