Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Rabbi Dr. Eugene Korn, the Academic Director of The Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation, presents his lecture "Jewish Schizophrenia: What Did the Rabbis Think of Christianity?" before a roundtable audience at The New Shul (http:/www.thenewshul.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: For most of the last 2,000 years, Christianity understood Judaism and Jews as its enemies. But did the Rabbis always see Christianity and Christians as eternal enemies (“Esau hates Jacob”)? In this presentation we will examine whether In the eyes of the rabbis Christianity is like ancient idolatry described in the Bible and Talmud, as well as whether Jewish experience with Christians–both bad and good–in the Middle Ages influenced how the Rabbis evaluated Christianity, whether the Holocaust changed anything about how Jews and Christians understand each other today, and whether religious Jews and pious Christians can be partners for building a better future, without betraying the principles of their faiths.
