hello! saw your post a few days ago about being wary of messianic informational sites that masquerade as proper jewish resources. have you heard of one called myjewishlearning [dot] com , and if so is it a proper resource or is it a messianic pretender? i was doing some research before i found your page and wondered if it's an accurate one.
it doesn't look particularly messianic from my surface-level research (and by that i mean i've made it about as deep as the About Us page lol), but wondered if you knew any better! thanks in advance, answer whenever, and have a good day!!

Passover (Pesach) teaches Jews to welcome strangers into their homes.
“…I say to Him, ‘God is it okay to luff strangers?’ And God says to me, ‘Yitzak, vat is dis strangers? You make strangers. I don’t make strangers.'”

...In Exodus 23:9, we read, “You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.” In Leviticus 19:33 we find, “When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. In Leviticus 19:34, we repeat this refrain, “The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.”
Later in prophetic texts, we confront Zekhariah 7:10: “Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor, and do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.” In Jeremiah 7:6-7, we read about the consequences of loving the stranger, “If you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, eor walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.”
