Judaism and Christianity: What are the Real Differences? with David Kraemer, Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics at JTS
Sunday, Apr 27th 10:00a to 11:00a
Many of us who have been educated in the Jewish community have learned a list of things that Christians believe but we couldn't or shouldn't believe. But early Christianity grew out of Judaism, and the overlap of the two faiths is considerable—including beliefs and practices that allegedly distinguish the two religions but really do not. Please join us as Professor Kraemer challenges some of the false differences, only to uncover the real, nuanced differences that distinguish each religion from the other.
