A Jewish View of Jesus
Harold Gorvine
Description
We will read selections from the four Gospels and excerpts from contemporary scholarly interpretations of Jesus. Both as a class and in hevruta, our focus will be twofold. First, who was Jesus the Jew, and what did he stand for? Second, to what extent can we as 21st-century Jews adopt the message of the historical Jesus and use it to enhance our Judaism?
Harold Gorvine is a lifelong, passionate teacher of history and Jewish studies. The Alumni Association of Akiba Hebrew Academy (suburban Philadelphia) honored him in 2001 for 35 years as an outstanding teacher.
