I didn't need my rabbi to examine it. I read it in Hebrew for myself. Oh, and the vowel points are wrong for it to be "Yeshua". Where do you people learn Hebrew? Off a box of cereal?
First, proper names are NOT made possessive. It would never be "your Jesus" or "your Moses" or whatever.
Second, I don't need some dead carpenter dude for my salvation. Why should I settle for some dead guy when I've got the Creator of the entire Universe?
Third, assuming the messiah's name is going to be something like "Jesus" or "Yeshua", your dead carpenter guy wasn't the messiah on account of he was a dead carpenter guy.
"Obviously I'm convinced of the existence of G-d. I'm equally convinced that Atheists who've led good lives will be in Olam HaBa going "How the heck did I wind up in this place?!?" while Christians who've treated people like dirt will be in some other place asking the exact same question."
I missed you. Time to start watching what I say again.

If what you are saying is true, then why did
Isaiah identified salvation as Him ? Explain.
His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
Perhaps you think Isaiah Context is wrong ?
If you cannot explain, then Get a second opinion
and ask your rabbi.
appeal to ignorance is an argument for or against a proposition on the basis of a lack of evidence against or for it. If there is positive evidence for the conclusion, then of course we have other reasons for accepting it, but a lack of evidence by itself is no evidence for a no God.
Sometimes when people reach out it shouldnt be alarming or excessively alarming. With any outpouring, it can be hard to trust one's own ability to take it 'at face value'. Just be Glad (and nothing more).
Because Hebrew has two genders -- masculine and feminine.
For example, certain words which refer to G-d are masculine. This doesn't mean G-d is a "He", because other words which refer to G-d are feminine. Which also doesn't mean G-d is a "She".
It means that Hebrew words have gender.

The name Jesus is derived from two words:
Salvation=Hebrew Strong's 3468-"yesha, yeh-shah.notice how the "h" is treated as silent and not used in "yesha". This happens a lot in Jewish names and words, the "h" is often dropped
יֶשַׁע yesha`
Now look at Jesus , which comes from the greek Iesous. The
Hebrew translation is:
Yeshua (ישוע, with vowel pointing יֵשׁוּעַ - yēšūă‘ in Hebrew.
If you study it, they both mean
Salvation. Or in other words,
God becomes salvation
Isaiah 62:11
His reward is with him?
What reward?
His work before him?
What work?
If Isaiah is not talking about a person , then what can salvation
By itself do?
Can salvation by itself reward?
Can salvation by itself work?
God is the only great worker.
Only God can give reward.
But the text does not say;
Behold, my reward is with me.
And my work before me.
It is logical that The responsibility of Reward and work is delegated to a live person and not a simple word.
Here is your dead carpenter. (in your words)
Zechariah 12:10
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
Revelation 22:11-12
Jesus said:
Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy."
"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
It will be God's will.

How is this related to the OP? Did Jesus cause the Big Bang?
"Don't seek these laws to understand. Only the mad can comprehend..." -- George Cosbuc
There are NO texts which give Jesus's supposed actual HEBREW name. The instances where people think they've found Jesus's name in some ancient text (mostly the Talmud) are a three letter abbreviation which means "His name is cursed".
There is NO historical evidence, outside of the Gospels and one or two forgeries which indicate Jesus ever existed. There is historical evidence for John the Baptist, James, Peter and Paul. There is NO evidence for Jesus. NONE.
There is NO historical evidence, outside of the Gospel, that the miracles associated with the Passion Week EVER happened. No earthquakes, no mass resurrections, no unexpected eclipses, none of those things.
As for salvation being a person, no. Salvation is something G-d gives. The only way you can get salvation is through your piety, and if that fails, your penitence. You sinned, you have to clean it up yourself.

Jesus comes from the Greek gospel.
Translate The Greek Jesus into Hebrew.
יֵשׁוּעַ and You will find it 30 times in the OT.
As for the historical Jesus.
Atheist historian :
Ehrman says: "Yes, the historical Jesus of Nazareth did exist .

Jesus probably did exist. Simply existing does not verify claims of godhood, though.
Which Greek to Hebrew translation? Assuming Jesus existed, his most likely name was "Joshua". Look up the Hebrew meaning. The most telling indication that yud-shin-vav-ayin isn't Jesus's name is that it's a meaningless word. The root (the yud prefix would be the masculine personal pronoun "he"
"שׁוּעַ" doesn't translate into Hebrew. Don't believe me? Go ask Google -- http://translate.google.com.
And appearing in the Tanakh is irrelevant -- my Hebrew name appears quite a few times in the Tanakh and I assure you that the writer wasn't talking about me.
"Obviously I'm convinced of the existence of G-d. I'm equally convinced that Atheists who've led good lives will be in Olam HaBa going "How the heck did I wind up in this place?!?" while Christians who've treated people like dirt will be in some other place asking the exact same question."
I'll agree with that statement for the sake of moving an argument forward, but the more I learn, the more I'm convinced that "Jesus" is a mashup of Peter, James and John the Baptist.
For example, it's an historical fact that James was a charismatic leader at the Temple in Jerusalem, and that what he taught, as well as the Christian writings that are attributed to him, were consistent (for the most part) with Torah Judaism. The fact that we know this, with certainty, about James and know nothing at all, outside the Gospels, about Jesus points very strongly to Jesus being a fabrication.

Where are the transitional forms between the Greek jesus and the Hebrew jesus?
And...
Why do you appeal to Ehrman's authority in regard to the historicity of jesus, but promptly abandon that same authority in regard to the resurrection and other supernatural claims attached to jesus?
There are no theists on operating tables.
Hey, but I can see the sun and being able to see something, I don't know, helps with the credibility.
But monotheist would prefer their god(s) be invisible, kind of like he is dead. And for one of them that is true. Ever noticed how wonderful people are after they are dead? We give eulogies, speak well. Once dead you can make up just about anything about them. So in order to make god in our image he has to be dead and/or invisible. The sun therefore had to disqualified. But a far as god go it wasn't a bad choice.
Religion Kills !!!
Numbers 31:17-18 - Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
