Why would a traditional Jewish rabbi teach about Jesus, Paul, and the New Testament?

In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, Rabbi Joe Charnes joins Ryan Lambert for an honest conversation about the Jewishness of Jesus and Paul, the evolving Jewish perspective on Christianity, and why Jewish-Christian friendship matters now more than ever. Rabbi Joe also shares the personal pushback he’s faced for his interfaith work—and why he’s still committed to building bridges.

👉 Topics include:
– The Jewish roots of the New Testament
– Paul within Judaism
– Why Jews have viewed Paul with suspicion
– Christian misunderstandings of Judaism
– How interfaith dialogue brings healing
