Season 1 - Episode 1: From the Dust

Send us Fan MailIn our first episode, our host, Brian Garza, asks Rabbi Brian about his bio, background, and how he became a Messianic Rabbi. They discuss his family tree, the history of Spanish and Italian Jews since the Spanish Inquisition, and how they fled persecution and Catholic conversion, and how they arrived in the Americas and established the first synagogues. Rabbi Brian explains how his family's Jewish heritage came from Germany, Austria/Poland, France, and Sicily through New Orleans, Louisiana, rather than Ellis Island. The main topic of the episode explores the reason behind the title of the podcast from the Rabbinic dictum from Mishnah 1:4 about becoming dusty from the feet of the Jewish sages and Torah Scholars, we call rabbis, and to drink in their words with thirst. Let's dive into this fascinating episode and learn about the dust of the Rabbi, "From the Dust."
