The parables of the new cloth and the new wine
The parables of the new cloth and the new wine illustrate the radical break between Judaism and Christianity. Spoken by Jesus in reply to John the Baptist's disciples about fasting, they affirm that the old and the new cannot be mixed. The change required is a complete transformation rather than a reform, inviting each person to choose the Teacher they will follow.
Mark 2.21-22 (King James Version) :No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Tanakh is the canon of the sacred Scriptures of Judaism, corresponding to the Christian Old Testament. Its name is an acronym formed from its three sections: Torah (Pentateuch), Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings). Written mainly in Hebrew with a few passages in Aramaic, it forms the theological, moral and liturgical foundation of Judaism and the common roots of the Jewish and Christian traditions.

A Genizah
A genizah is a space set aside in a synagogue to temporarily store Jewish sacred documents and objects that have become unusable. These objects, such as Torah scrolls or prayer books, are then buried in a cemetery. The Cairo Genizah, discovered in the 19th century in the Ben Ezra Synagogue, is the most famous, containing hundreds of thousands of document fragments covering more than a thousand years of Jewish history.
