The Jewish Annotated New Testament with Rabbi Zimmerman of The Jewish Center of the Hamptons

Rabbi Zimmerman's Lifelong Learning Classes

We are completing our study of The Jewish Annotated New Testament edited by Amy-Jill Levine & Marc Zvi Brettler. “It is almost two millennia since the earliest texts incorporated into the New Testament were composed. For the most part, these centuries have seen a painful relationship between Christians & Jews. Although Jewish perceptions of Christians & Christian perceptions of Jews have improved markedly in recent decades, Jews & Christians still misunderstand many of each other’s texts and traditions. The landmark publication of this book is a witness to that improvement; ideally it will serve to increase our knowledge of both our common histories and the reasons why we came to separate.” (From the Editor’s Preface, Page XI) All those who are unable to join us in East Hampton can now participate in Rabbi Zimmerman’s classes through Skype.
