If there were ever an RF get-together we could play a make-up-a-Jesus-prophecy game. After each round we select the funniest/best and the winner gets a point. At the end the one with the most points gets cake.

It's starting to get a little predictable isn't it...But the NT says so
@Tumah you in? Free cake for good wit. That's your field.Not just any cake. Glatt Kosher cake.

No idea what that is, but works for me.Green's Babkah!
Edit to add: It's parve
We Jews do love haggling. And free stuff.

Rugalach? But bigger. Green's is in NY. We get them here frozen. But it's my go to for dinner parties and such.
There's a famous Seinfeld episode about the Chocolate Babkah. Jerry gets the "black and white" cookie. It's classic.
That's a babkah.
These are rugalach.
Oh yeah, great cake. Forgot what it's called in Hebrew, though. Pretty sure it's not called Babkah here in Israel (though rugalach will always be rugalach).
Edit: usually referred to as Ugat Shmarim in Israel.

The 30 pieces of silver in Zechariah 11:12 was $7.50 paid in quarters. It was paid by the publicizers (the local newspaper) to Adam and was published in early 1984. This was the biggest prophecy in the Bible, and the Messiah was publicly humiliated. Members of Adam's fraternity cast the money on the steps ay Beth El Temple. Adam and two of his fraternity brothers committed suicide by hanging. The fraternity was ATO, Alpha Tau Omega.
Alright well this makes no sense but at least we have a 30 pieces verse.
It's a start.

Ahhh! There you are! No discussion of scripture is complete until you've weighed in. How are you doing?
So, do you remember Adam's family name?
Other than there being thirty pieces of silver.
Matt:26:13-15,
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
No mention of a fulfilled prophecy.

Did you know them? If so, and you were close, I'm sorry for your loss.
