Adonai Lord, Master.

Aggadah Y‘shua‘s general practice of teaching was done in a style called ―Aggadah‖. The Aggadic
style employed stories and parables, which were directed towards teaching the student
to understand a concept of truth or a principle of moral behaviour.

Aharon Aaron.

Akoloutheo To follow.

Akuros Is without authority, null and void. It is a late verb, akurow, and substantive occurrence in

Baal Shem
Tov

The Besht, Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer. A.D. 1700-1760. The founder of Chasidic Judaism.

Although many books of his teachings exist, the Besht himself wrote no books, perhaps

because his teachings emphasised the fact that even a simple, uneducated peasant

could approach YHWH (a radical idea in its time, when Judaism emphasised that the

way to approach YHWH was through study). He emphasised prayer, the observance of

commandments; and ecstatic, personal mystical experiences.

Bahir One of the oldest texts in Hebrew mystical literature.

Bais
Hamikdosh

Temple.

Barabbas Aramaic term Bar Abbas, meaning "son of the father".

Bat Kol In Rabbinic literature, a reference is made to ―a voice from heaven‖ called ―Bat Kol‖,
which literally means a ―daughter of a voice‖. The Bat Kol, Shekinah, and the Ruach
haKodesh are all feminine in the Hebrew.

Batlanim A scholarly teacher who was either independently wealthy or on some kind of support so
he would be available to provide the congregation with accurate academics and
answers. There had to be at least ten batlanim in every congregation of one hundred
and twenty members. There was even a tradition that a synagogue service could not
commence without ten men present.

Beit-Lechem Beit or bet – Home, house or place.
Lechem – Raised bread.
Known as Bethlehem – Y‘shua‘s place of birth.
