Episode 0 Introduction: Elder Brothers in Faith
In 2012, Philadelphia’s Archbishop Charles Chaput visited the beit midrash, or study hall, of Yeshiva University, where he encountered hundreds of young men engaged in spiritual study. What he saw there inspired him to ponder what the Jewish relationship to the word of God could teach his fellow Christians.
In this age, when Jews and Christians are being drawn ever closer together by the secular forces arrayed against traditional religion, the time is ripe for people of all faiths to recover the teachings of Hebrew Scripture.
