This World: The Values
Network and Gefen Publishing House
Presents:
LAUNCH OF RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH’S NEWEST BOOK
KOSHER JESUS
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s groundbreaking new book Kosher Jesus
(Gefen Publishing) provides the foundation for a new and
stronger understanding between Christians and Jews, and a
radically new perspective on the world’s most famous
personality. Kosher Jesus offers a revolutionary new
perspective, based on both Christian and Jewish sources,
that early Christian editors attempted to de-Judaize Jesus
and portray him as an antagonist to his people, fully
Romanized, after the failure of the Jewish revolt of the
year 66-70 when the Jews became the most hated nation in the
Empire. The truth is, as the Gospels point out, Jesus lived,
taught and died a Jew and taught all his followers to live
by the Torah’s teachings; in fact, nearly all of his sermons
were restatements of the Hebrew Bible, as he intended them
to be.
Rabbi Shmuley’s research has also conclusively determined
that Jews not only did not kill Jesus, they protected him
from Herod, as the Luke makes clear. The Romans wanted Jesus
dead because of his insurrection against the Emperor. Rabbi
Shmuley hopes these realizations will strengthen
Jewish-Christian ties and values, with Jesus (historically
the barrier separating the two peoples) serving as the
bridge between the two faiths, even as he is understood very
differently by two great world religions.
The book has already glowing reviews and ignited new
dialogue among people of Jewish, Christian and all faiths
America’s Rabbi and bestselling author (Kosher Sex), will
launch Kosher Jesus with a panel discussion: The Legacy of
Jesus Among Jews and Christians, followed by a press
briefing.
