A Jewish View of Jesus

Harold Gorvine

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?
