Knowing how hard it is with Churches closed, to search. See if your Church has any organized activities for singles, like: meet for lunch; movies, meet at each other's apartments for coffee, chat or board games. Have to work around co-vid you see. Put a sign up sheet on a church bulletin board online. See what happens.
In the mean time, set aside an hour a day to sit in silence before the Lord (fast from all media). Read Genesis 24; where Abraham sends his servant to find Isaac a wife. It's a perfect Read for you.
Ask the Lord to send an angel to find your "Rebekah" and bring her to you. You are going to have to keep your faith strong.
You can ask God how the search goes? Is there anything you can do for Him while you are waiting? Consider "enlarging your tent".
These books contain the Ten Commandments. I would compare both.
The Bible is the best reference book to use for study. All the books contained in it, were canonized.
Also, Jesus gave us 2 more commandments in the Gospels.
Chris can tell you details about the process.
The Dead Sea scrolls prove the Bible is authentic. Atheists can't allege that the Bible is only a book.
This is probably where a lot of error & misunderstanding comes up: how to dissect correctly what has been fulfilled & what is yet to come. In our natural mind, we tend to read things as a developing story, & so what was prophesied to occur prior to & at the arrival/destruction by the Roman Army in AD70, then also speaks about a great tribulation, which no doubt meant great suffering to the Jews at that time (i.e. from Mt 24:20 to the change in v 21). And the thought of the great tribulation is continued from there to v31, which clearly hasn't happened in its fullest sense. So much speculation arises, different teaching, & sometimes a trail of confused believers as to what is actually going on here. I just have to accept that post Cross, there was & will always be much suffering from the hands of wicked men (spirit of anti-Christ), & we must simply believe that all the prophecies given must be fulfilled according to the declarations by God.
You: "I have evangelized many a Jew, and they hate the New Testament."
As I have done to a lesser extent than you, in ministry to Muslims in Pakistan, who likewise discount the whole Bible as 'filled with errors' in 'light of the revelation given by the Quran'. My approach has always been to begin on common ground (on which there is much) & even using the Quran to establish foundational truths, so that progress (= more light) can be made & seen. Of course, one's own knowledge has to be very good & the hearer must also be inclined to learn. Sadly, deficiency in both areas, prevents a meaningful discourse taking place.
