Description
Away Apart: The Parting of the Ways Between Judaism and Christianity
Preview of coming attractions
In lieu of a new class this week I'd like to give you a sneak peek of what's in store. We will, iy"h, be completing Shmuel part Aleph shortly and my goal before we go on break and before we start part Bet is to take a brief detour to a very different, but to my mind fascinating topic, known to historians as the Parting of the Ways.
This mini-series will look at a critical period in Jewish history, the era in which Christianity is founded and splits from Judaism. This topic has been explored by historians thoroughly, but to my knowledge rarely through the lens of halacha.
We will try to engage the question of when, according to Jewish law, where Christians seen as no longer Jewish.
Looking forward to learning with you
