Jewish Ideas to Change the World

A virtual event presentation by Rabba Dr Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz

EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY: Beth El Phoenix

ABOUT THE EVENT:
For centuries certain texts in the book of Isaiah have been used by (some) Christians to try to convert Jews. What are these texts and what is the Jewish perspective on them? We’ll look at the texts themselves, classic Jewish commentaries, and Christian commentaries, and develop some skills that might prove useful next time your doorbell rings …
