Was Jesus a Jewish Teacher? | Yerusha

Published on February 17, 2025
 

Hello !

We’re thrilled to tell you about two of our upcoming programs. One program, taught by Hazzan-Maggid Steve Klaper, explores the life and teaching of one of the most famous Jewish teachers. The second program, is our next book club discussion on March 26th. Read on to learn more!

The Jewish Wisdom of Jesus & The Roots of Modern Spiritual Practice

with Hazzan-Maggid Steve Klaper

 

Tuesdays, starting March 11

5 - 7pm MDT

 

Week One - March 11:

Getting Comfortable with Jewish Jesus and His World

 

Week Two - March 18:

Ritual & Liturgy

 

Week Three - March 25:

Stories, Parables & Teachings

 

Judaism and Christianity have each removed Jesus from his place in the lineage of Jewish teachers, but his deeply Jewish message can be understood almost entirely as a daring attempt to re-form and renew the Judaism of his day. In this 3-part interfaith class, we place Jesus in historical context as an innovative, first century teacher of Jewish wisdom. We’ll compare and contrast Kaddish and the Lord’s Prayer as examples of early rabbinic liturgy, explore the intent of the Beatitudes as a means of teaching Torah to the masses, examine the parables as they sounded to 1st Century ears, and much more.

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

During the month of March, all who are registered will receive prompts to guide your journey through the book.

In this modern classic interpretation of the biblical story of Dinah, Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of The Red Tent.

 

The Red Tent begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past.

 

Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling and the valuable achievement of presenting a new view of biblical women's lives.

 

The Red Tent is a New York Times bestseller and the basis of the A&E/Lifetime mini-series.
