Description

Prophet? Teacher? False messiah? Or simply not part of the story at all? In Jewish Views of Jesus in 10 Minutes, we'll explore how Judaism has understood—and often misunderstood—Jesus across two thousand years. From the silence of early rabbinic texts to sharp polemics in the Middle Ages, Jewish perspectives on Jesus have ranged from caution to critique. We'll look at why, in Jewish thought, Jesus was not the Messiah, how centuries of Christian persecution shaped Jewish responses, and how modern dialogue has opened space for more nuanced views. Along the way, we'll highlight how Jesus remains a central figure in world history but a complex, often uncomfortable one in Jewish memory. Ten minutes, one controversial figure, and a story about where Judaism draws its lines—and why.
