The Qu'ran and The Jews

Dr. Reuven Firestone, Regenstein Professor in Medieval Judaism and Islam,
HUC/Los Angeles

Some Jews claim that Muslims are hostile to Jews because the Qur’an teaches Jew hatred and is inherently antisemitic. Delve into a thorough investigation of how the Qur'an actually portrays Jews through text study and discussion.

The Apostle Paul:
A First-Century Reform Jew?

Rabbi Joshua Garroway, Ph.D., Sol and Arlene Bronstein Professor of Judaeo-Christian Studies, Professor of Early Christianity and Second Commonwealth, HUC/Los Angeles

Is it possible we've been too hard on Paul? Might modern Jews come to see him as a loyal Jew – indeed a Jew much like ourselves?
