Abraham’s Legacy: Faith, Doubt, and the Birth of Judaism
The story of Abraham is one of faith vs. skepticism, critique vs. devotion, and above all a reflection of the Jewish people. Join author Anthony Julius and AJU’s Pinchas Giller as they discuss his new book Abraham: The First Jew, a biography that examines the foundational figure and father of Judaism. Discover new perspectives on Abraham’s dual legacy and how his journey is reflected in today’s challenges and identity in Judaism.
