e-TiM: Adversaries in Jewish Tradition: Megillas Antiochus, Toldos Yeshu and More

Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Zuckier

Thursdays December 15, 22, 29

1:30pm Eastern, 8:30 pm Israel

Please join us for this three-part series where we will explore classical Jewish perspectives on three adversaries of Judaism - Antiochus and the founding figures of Christianity. In this seasonally appropriate topic (around Chanukah, December 25th, and Asarah BiTeves) we will read texts - Megillas Antiochus and Toldos Yeshu - that are classical texts in the traditional Jewish conception of these historical figures, even if you didn't learn them in day school.
