On this episode of “613 Books” podcast, producer Heather Dean interviews Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz, the Founder of Jews for Judaism. Rabbi Kravitz’s book, “Know What to Answer When Someone Challenges Your Faith.”

In this interview, Rabbi Kravitz addresses several Tishrei-related topics from “Know What to Answer,” giving us much to ponder as we journey into the New Year.

Jews for Judaism strengthens and preserves Jewish identity by responding to religious coercion, promoting critical thinking skills, and providing spiritual guidance and support.

“Know What to Answer ...” helps readers tackle life’s toughest challenges to one’s faith with clarity, confidence, and wisdom. Rabbi Kravitz says this book is a guide to navigating critical issues such as missionary coercion, anti-Semitism, and intermarriage, all while reinforcing a strong sense of Jewish identity.

Drawing from the weekly Torah portions, Rabbi Kravitz illuminates the timeless teachings of the Jewish Bible through thought-provoking insights and real-life stories. With a style that promotes critical thinking and authenticity, this book offers practical guidance to respond effectively to questions about faith and tradition.
