The REAL Reason Why Jews Reject Jesus

Join Rabbi Ken Spiro for a bold, deeply researched conversation on one of the most debated questions in religious history. Why has Judaism never accepted Christianity? Was “Yushka” (Jesus of Nazareth) truly one historical figure, and what do the earliest historical sources actually say about him? Where do core Jewish beliefs fundamentally diverge from Christian theology? And what does the Torah really teach about the identity and role of the Moshiach? In this powerful and eye-opening talk, Rabbi Spiro breaks down the historical record, examines primary sources, addresses widespread misconceptions, and explores the theological foundations that separate Judaism from other faith traditions. From a traditional Jewish perspective, he explains why Jesus does not meet the criteria of the Moshiach and clarifies what Judaism truly expects from the future redeemer. If you care about truth, history, faith, and Jewish identity, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss. → More From Rabbi Spiro: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rabbikenspiro Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ssh0Z1PBeMkZ8QZdmMmuo Books: https://kenspiro.com/ ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬ ► The Dream Raffle: Win a $1.2 Million Apartment in Jerusalem Help beautiful causes and also walk away with keys to a gorgeous - fully furnished - apartment in Jerusalem (if you win!)

She Saw Evil in Gaza and Escaped!

This is our first guest from...Gaza. Meet Lama Dalloul. Lama is a Palestinian woman who lived under Hamas rule and chose to speak out after October 7. She shares what daily life in Gaza was really like, why many Gazans are afraid to criticize Hamas, and what happened after she posted her views on TikTok. She explains the threats she received, the risk of speaking openly, and why she rejects antisemitism and refuses to blame Jewish civilians for the war. She also discusses escaping Gaza, the financial and emotional cost of leaving, and how the conflict impacted her faith, family, and future.

I Refused To Stay Quiet About This

This episode addresses the reaction that followed Nissim Black becoming Jewish. It also follows the discourse around how antisemitism intensified, including controversies involving Kanye West and Candace Owens. It looks at how those conversations spilled into everyday interactions, changing how people spoke, distanced themselves, or made assumptions. The focus is on identity, conversion, social consequences, and the choice to speak plainly rather than retreat or self-censor.
