Jewish Perspectives on Jesus in the 21st Century

Presented by Rabbi Norman M. Cohen


Wednesday, December 17, 2025
7:30 PM CST
In Person Only
Whitley Event Center | Oblate School of Theology
DESCRIPTION

What was the Jewish world like at the time of Jesus, and who was Jesus as a Jew? Now, two thousand years later, how do Jews in the 21st century view him? Rabbi Cohen will explore these questions and invite participants into deeper reflection on how this conversation advances interfaith dialogue and understanding, sixty years after Vatican II.
