In this episode of Jerusalem Talks, Avraham (Avrum) Burg joins Fr. Anthony Giambrone, who serves as Vice Director of the École Biblique, a research institute for biblical and archeological studies in Jerusalem. They explore the spiritual and historical significance of Jerusalem, contrasting it with Rome and Fr. Giambrone’s American upbringing. Fr. Giambrone reflects on Jerusalem’s duality (its humanity and divinity) and the relationship between Jerusalem's raw reality and spiritual depth. The conversation covers topics such as the universal aspects of Christianity, the humanity of Jesus, and the experience of being a Christian transplant in the Holy Land. Finally, they discuss Fr. Giambrone’s personal spirituality and the importance of interfaith dialogue.

With gratitude to the production team - Daniel Schwake, Gabriel Mitchell, and Avrum Burg - as well as Eli Krogmann and David Turjman for making this season of Jerusalem Talks possible.
