"Have you ever seen biblical dramatizations evoke profound emotions and resonate with an audience? Today, Rabbi Irving Salzman discusses the emotional impact of biblical dramatizations, his family's Holocaust history, and Jewish individuals embracing Jesus."

What happens when humor and reverence combine to express the life in biblical stories? Discover the answer as we sit down with Rabbi Irving Salzman from Beth Messiah Congregation in Livingston, New Jersey. Rabbi Salzman shares the transformative impact of a recent performance by Plays on Word Theater and the overwhelming positive feedback from his congregation. Hear firsthand how dramatizations of events like Peter walking on water and the healing of the woman who bled for 12 years resonated deeply with the audience, evoking profound emotions that lingered long after the curtains closed.

Journey with us as we recount an uplifting story of a woman finding hope amidst her story, inspired by a Bible scene depicting the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. This moving narrative segues into the host's mission of encouraging the body of Christ. Delve into the rabbi's family history, from his family's experience during the Jewish Holocaust to his own spiritual transformation after a serendipitous encounter with a young born-again Christian.

Finally, explore the courageous journeys of Jewish individuals embracing Jesus as the Messiah despite the risks and challenges they face within their communities. From a poignant account in Lakewood, New Jersey, to stories of Jewish believers worldwide, this episode sheds light on the transformative power of faith. These testimonies of discovery and acceptance offer a profound look at the growing movement of Jewish followers of Christ and the impact of their newfound beliefs.
