It is interesting to look at Jewish discussions in a limited way, it can sometimes add color and texture to our understanding of the Bible. Certainly, an understanding of the Hebrew language is very helpful. 

However, you have to keep in mind two key issues: First, that we are not under the Old Covenant anymore; Jesus said He has made a New Covenant by His sacrifice and the New Testament explains the New Covenant for believers. Old Covenant understanding of the Law and the Jewish traditions and applications concerning it are not to take the place of The Gospel and our new relationship with Jesus. The second issue to remember is that the Jews still practicing the Old Covenant have so far missed the Gospel, missed the message of Jesus, missed Jesus as the Messiah, and missed the Grace of God which comes through Christ. The Apsostle Paul says, "But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."  (2 Corinthians 3:14-16)

Some Christians have been quite sidetracked from the Gospel by over-emphasizing Jewish things, as 1 Tim 1:6-7 says, "For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions."  So, my advice is to take such articles lightly; if they are interesting and helpful, fine. But don't try to use them to clarify the New Testament teaching about Jesus and don't get too wrapped up in their questions and arguments.
