For most Jewish who take the course, they come with a childlike view or understanding of what this religion is and they are surprised by the sophistication of the teaching. |
I think that for example, many Christians assume that Judaism is Christianity without Christ and that we live an Old Testament life style. But Judaism has evolved over time and it is a vast body of teaching that expends over 3000 years. |
Judaism is a non-proselytizing religion, but we realize there are many people who know little about Judaism and are curious to know more. We aren't looking to win people to our point of view, but we just want to be better understood. |
The interpretation that Judaism is a religion of law and Christianity is a religion of love is a long-standing interpretation, but that is a misconception of Judaism. |
