As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world study the Old Testament in 2022, this episode of the Church News podcast focuses on the Old Testament — called the Hebrew Bible by those of the Jewish faith — and scriptures and doctrines shared by members of the Jewish and Latter-day Saint faiths.
Featured is guest Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik, senior rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel, known as the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue of New York. Established in 1654, Shearith Israel is the oldest Jewish congregation in America. Rabbi Soloveichik has lectured internationally to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences; he hosts the daily podcast “Jerusalem 365” and is director of the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University.
He offers his scholarly and spiritual insight into the importance of scriptural records, religious freedom and connecting across faiths.
