Jews Did it First
Rabbi Yossi Madvig
46 episodes
5 days ago
The main thrust of this podcast is to shed light on a phenomenon that I’ve noticed over the course of the last decade or so. Very often I come across something in Jewish literature that is clearly an antecedent of some modern day cultural, legal or religious concept.The second will be counter-missionary claims. I think it’s very important that Jews know how to respond to missionary claims. I also hope this will strengthen non-Jews' respect for why Jews believe what we believe and not seeing us as some sort of backwater yokels who have just never heard of the “wonderful good news” as it were.
