So many of us long to move beyond longstanding suspicion and defensiveness and toward an open and frank conversation about Judaism and Christianity. So many of us long to move beyond bland platitudes abut the "Judeo-Christian heritage" to examine the beating hearts of these two traditions. Rabbi Jonathan Kligler and Reverend Matthew Wright bring a refreshing honesty and openness to our exploration of where Judaism and Christianity meet, and where we differ. We will do our best to strip away the centuries of assumptions we carry about each other and compare our shared origins. We will see how closely the teachings of Jesus parallel his rabbinic contemporaries of the 1st century. We will learn about how the early Church and Judaism parted ways, and investigate the roots of Christian anti-Semitism. And we will compare our spiritual practices and vocabularies, both aimed at the same ultimate goal: to know and to serve the mystery we call God.
Attendance at the entire series is strongly encouraged. Drop-ins pay $15/class
