Dr. Malka Z. Simkovich is the Crown-Ryan Chair of Jewish Studies and the director of the Catholic-Jewish Studies program at Catholic Theological Union, often the "only Jew on campus." As such she has become an important spokesperson for Jewish-Chrisitan relations and a bridge to greater understanding of Jewish experience. An expert in Second Temple judaism, her research and writing have added to the knowledge of what it was like to be a Jew in those times, and the lessons we can learn from their challenges. Join Rabbi Matanky for a wide-ranging conversation about both modern challenges and their ancient precursors.
