I would love to hear this wise Jewish man explain the first verses of their own book
Genesis 1
" In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water."
That implies God is Spirit, separate from Himself.
26Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
That from the Torah and Jews still wont/cant answer or explain what that means.

It says spirit of God. Not God as spirit. So it implies that the spirit of God was seperate from God. Spirits are agents of God, who carry out His will. That particular spirit hovering over the water was no different.
What about the 7 spirits mentioned in Isaiah? Should they be added to the trinity as well? What about the lying spirit from God? How come they dont get to be part of the trinity?

God was talking to the angels.
How does "us" indicate that it is a number that you want it to be?
Anyway, I am not Jewish.... but if you would like to ask a Rabbi about this further...

Allah is no mere linguistic designation for God, as Dios in Spanish or Dieu in French. Allah is the name of the god of Islam. In fact, Allah was the name of the chief god among the numerous idols in the Kaaba in Mecca, which represented the deities of travelers passing through in the caravans. Allah was the god of the local Quraish, Muhammad's tribe, before Islam was invented.
Allah has definite characteristics: he is not a father, has no son, is not a triune being but a single (and thus incomplete) entity...

Allah / Eloah / Eloi.... variants of the same word in the semitic languages of Arabic, Aramaic, and Hebrew.
In the videos, the jews explain that its purely a linguistic thing. Watch the first video at least.
Also, Muslims understand that the Kaaba was at one point defiled with idols.... and that Mohammad destroyed them all and restored the original monotheism that arrived in Arabia through Ishmael and his descendants before the idol worship started.

I like how christians say that Allah and Yahweh are different... but insist that their trinity and the God of the OT are the same. The reality is that OT and Jesus ALSO repeatedly teach that God is a "single" entity. And the jews also never believed otherwise.
And sorry no, menorah.org is one of those "messianic jewish" sites that are run by christians disguised as jews.
Allah is just a household god from some Arab tribe, roped in to deity as has santa for some Christians
Just cos some fella shows up on youtube and spouts of, doesnt make him a real valid source.Doesnt make his message true.
Do you know what the bible states or are you just accepting public opinion.
Menora or youtube, what you believe is just that. A belief.
No evidence cept an antichristian Jew.
Think about it??
but do regular jews accept the bizarre concepts such as "trinity"..... God being a "trinity:.. no.

As for you, no evidence except what you copy pasted from a website run by christians in jewish disguises.
Sure that website looks all jewish, uses jewish imagery and words... but do regular jews accept the bizarre concepts such as "trinity"..... God being a "trinity:.. no.
So theres your answer.
I suggest you just read the bible on your own instead of having "christian" preachers do the thinking for you.
