There’s strong evidence the man in the Shroud of Turin is Yeshua. Scientists found the name “Jesus Nazarene” written in Aramaic. They found he was buried according to Jewish customs evidenced by traces of ointment and spices as well as type of burial cloth. You can find this fits how Jews were buried according to the Oral Torah. You can also see he obeyed Lev. 19:27 “Do not trim off the hair on your temples or trim your beards.”
This fits with the Hebrew word "spirit" being a feminine noun.
Once the agreement for marriage was made, a cup of wine was placed in front of the man and woman. If she drank of it, she agreed to marry the man. After that, they were betrothed. If she didn't drink from the cup, she didn't.

Mastos in Koine Greek properly means female breasts. You can see how the word is used elsewhere.
"3 `Thou hast no other Gods [Elohim] before Me."
Luk. 23:29
In one version of the original rabbinical story, the rich tax collector's one single good deed was he had once dropped a loaf of bread from under his arm and allowed a poor man to keep it.
“..in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and wrapped around the chest with a golden sash. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like burnished bronze when it has been heated to a glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.”
Deut. 32:11

26 "And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
Rev. 1:13–16
While the Bible describes YHWH as masculine, it also describes him as feminine. Gen. 1 describes the Spirit of YHWH as having gender.
Yeshua is depicted as having breasts.
Jews expected a reverse of statuses in the last days. YHWH would exalt oppressed Israel and judge the Gentiles. Many believed they belonged to YHWH as part of the chosen people because of their ancestor, Abraham.

This parable has parallels in the Oral Torah.
18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
"52 then ye have dispossessed all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and have destroyed all their imagery, yea, all their molten images ye destroy, and all their high places ye lay waste.."

YHWH is made of masculine and feminine nouns. Yah is masculine. Weh is feminine. Shekhinah is a feminine noun. Rachamim in Hebrew is the word for compassion but its root word means womb. The early use of El Shaddai fully used the root word shad meaning "breast." In other words, it means "God with breasts." When El Shaddai is used, its often used in the context of fertility.
The Canaanites worshiped gods and goddesses. It would be nonsense to only destroy male idols but not female idols.
I gave him everything. He said he loved me. Why?
2 and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'
Absolutely, i won’t delve too much into how he fulfilled messianic prophecies and Torah commands in this answer. i’ll show how he was culturally immersed in Judaism.
The parable of the 10 virgins is based on Jewish marriage customs.
Num. 33:52
7 `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee”
Yeshua followed the customs of Rabbis. Some extreme rabbis made harsh demands to weed out those who were not serious. Rabbis weren’t impressed with high status or wealth.

Jewish stories told of angels taking the righteous to paradise and demons dragging wicked people to hell.
Jews criticize Yeshua for not marrying and having children. They claim a real Jewish man would obey YHWH’s command to man in Gen. 1:27 “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth..”

In the original Jewish version (recorded in the Palestinian Talmud), there was a rich tax collector, named Bar 'mayan, and a poor, lowly student of the Torah. The tax collector spent his life oppressing and cheating people, while the Torah scholar lived poorly, but righteously. They both die on the same day. While the tax collector was given a big, lavish funeral and mourned properly, the poor, righteous Torah scholar had no funeral at all, and no mourning. A friend of the Torah scholar was very upset at this injustice, and was given a dream to comfort him. In it, he saw the tax collector in torment trying to reach a stream of water with his tongue. It remains always just out of his reach, while the scholar is nearby in paradise with streams of water running all around him. In this Haggadah, other forms of torment are recorded, each one different for each person. This man's torment is he can't ever actually get that water - it is just barely out of reach. He learns the tax collector had done but one single good deed in his life and his lavish funeral was his reward, paid in full for that good deed. While the Torah scholar had committed but one single sin, and his lack of funeral was his judgment for it.
The Egyptian pantheon consisted of gods as well as goddesses. Ex. 20:3
A similar rabbinic parable tells of the rich sinner going to paradise because of one good deed.

Yeshua’s teachings and actions reflected Jewish culture.
The word "hovering" in Hebrew is rachaph meaning to brood or flutter as an eagle fluttering over it's young. This might illustrate the idea of nurture in back and forth movement. Deut. 32:11 gives you a better idea of the context behind this word.

“Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James, and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.”
Luk 16:19-31
17 "Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
3 And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
Many people interpret this passage to mean Elohim made Adam, the person, before he made Eve. I've refuted this claim in my study on Gen. 1-2. Gen. 1 actually says Elohim made man, the species. While Elohim is a masculine plural noun, it can include feminine nouns as well.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
Yeshua’s parables and sayings were heavily influenced by rabbis.
Matt. 17:1–3
"12 and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods [Elohim] of Egypt I do judgments; I [am] Jehovah."
I'm sure this commandment prohibits gods and goddesses alike.
Mark 10:30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age— houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions— and in the age to come, eternal life.”
"like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers [râchaph] over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft. 12 The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him."
20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”
Gen. 17:1-7
Jews at the time believed it was the highest honor for the righteous to be at the bosom of Abraham. Read the burial papyri (cf. papyrus Preisigke Sb 2034:11) and Jewish literature (cf. Kiddushin 72b, Ekah 1:85.)
What is the significance of Elijah and Moses appearing here in Jewish culture?
Elijah and Moses served as witnesses of a marriage between Yeshua (the groom) with the bride (Israel.)
5 and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, forfather of a multitude of nations have I made thee;
19 “Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. 20 And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, 21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. 22 Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
27 And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
During the Betrothal, the woman wore a veil to hide herself from the world to show she was taken as she purified her thoughts, body, and clothes. The groom would then prepare a place for them to spend the 1st 7 days and nights together. It could be near the father's house or if he was poor, at their father's house. It was the groom's responsibility to prepare it and the father's responsibility to make sure it was done right to help the bride. Hunting trophies was unacceptable. It would take a year for the groom to make the room and sometimes longer. The bride and groom would not be together. The groom was exempt from outside responsibilities. When the father decided the room and the groom was ready, he told the groom to get his bride. With the father's instruction to get the bride, the groom and his best witness called the representative of Elijah and friends went to the bride's home at night. When in hauling distance, they shouted the arrival of the groom. The bride and her maids or witness representing Moses grabbed what they needed to take care of them. The bride's father looked the other way as the groom left with his daughter. The bride and groom stopped briefly with the groom's father to read and sign the wedding contract and receive council from the father then went into the room they had prepared. The bridegroom was assisted by 2 witnesses to the marriage. One represented Moses and the other Elijah. The witness representing Moses helped the bride by telling her when the bridegroom would appear while the one representing Elijah would help the bride-groom. This was because Moses led the 1st bride (Israel) through the wilderness and to the wedding chamber (Mount Sinai). He led the bride to the door of their new home (Canaan).
Yeshua is not only El Shaddai but also fulfilled the command to be fruitful and multiply.
Yeshua uses the symbolism of Jewish marriage to describe the union between YHWH and the remnant of Israel.
Mark. 10:17-26
"And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I [am] God Almighty [El Shaddai], walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;
Rev. 5:12 “..Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
Yeshua came to have descendants greater than physical descendants. Isa. 53:10 “..When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed..” Jewish commentators say “see his seed” is unusual because it does not refer to begetting physical offspring in Hebrew. It has to refer to spiritual offspring.
In Jewish culture, riches are highly valued. Wealth is seen as divine favor from YHWH. Jesus supported this and adopted this part of Jewish culture.
Rev. 1:13
28 And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth."
Gen. 1:26-28
Matt. 26:27 “..when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”
29 "for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps [mastos] that did not give suck"
Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form and contains nothing within and darkness was upon the face of the deep and Elohim's Spirit [ruach] was hovering [râchaph] upon the face of the waters"
"27 And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps [mastos] that thou didst suck!'"
