Did Paul Teach Against Torah in Acts 21? Responding to Rabbi Michael Skobac

Two Messianic Jews

Does Acts 21 confirm that Paul taught against Torah-observance for Jews? According to Rabbi Michael Skobac of Jews for Judaism, Acts 21 shows Paul's "real position" was that Jews should stop obeying the Torah. I walk through the whole account of Acts 21.17-26 to demonstrate that it says the exact opposite! Acts 21 shows that Paul was a Torah-observant Jew himself and taught other Jewish followers of Jesus to do the same.
