Rabbi Pesach Wolicki - Bridging the Text What Christians Miss in the Old Testament & Jewish Roots

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki returns to Hearts of Oak to explore core Jewish theological concepts and key differences with Christianity. He explains the covenant and the law as the means by which Israel lives out God’s will as a “kingdom of priests,” the essential role of rabbinic interpretation in applying biblical commandments across time, and the balance between fixed, collective Jewish liturgy and personal prayer. Rabbi Wolicki contrasts Judaism’s primary emphasis on national redemption with Christianity’s focus on individual salvation and the afterlife, reflects on insights gained from Christian engagement, and discusses the enduring covenant through exile and the prophetic significance of the Jewish return to the land in modern Israel. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is an Orthodox rabbi, author, and Executive Director of Israel 365 Action. Born in the United States and raised in Canada as the son of a rabbi, he moved to Israel in the early 1990s. He began his public work advocating for families of Israeli soldiers missing in action from conflicts in Lebanon and has since become a leading voice in Jewish-Christian relations. A former synagogue rabbi and dean of a yeshiva, he now lectures widely at Christian institutions and co-hosts the Shoulder to Shoulder podcast with Pastor Doug Reed.   Connect with Pesach...
