Zusia: Jesus – History’s Most Controversial Jew
Jesus: History’s Most Controversial Jew
As Rabbi David Zaslow, a talmid of Reb Zalman, pointed out in his book Jesus: First Century Jew, Time Magazine has called “re-judaizing Jesus” one of “Ten Ideas That Are Changing The World.” Why is that? In this three week course join Matthew Gindin for a study of the very Jewish nature of Jesus’ life, teachings, and of his early community. As we approach the winter holiday season, we will explore Martin Buber’s claim that “a great place belongs to him in Israel’s history of faith,” and examine how looking at his life through Jewish eyes can clarify much about the most controversial Jew who ever lived.

Time: 7-9 p.m., in-person and livestream
Taught By: Matthew Gindin
