About this episode

Rabbi Gershom Baraza shares his transformative journey from a Christian missionary to an Orthodox Jewish rabbi.

How does a Christian missionary, fully devoted to spreading his faith across the world, end up becoming an Orthodox Jewish rabbi? Meet Rabbi Gershom Baraza, who grew up in Spain and went all in on his mission, even learning Chinese to teach Christianity. But along the way, something didn’t sit right. What began as small questions turned into a relentless search for truth, forcing him to reevaluate everything he believed. His journey is a powerful reminder of what it means to truly seek the emes, no matter where it leads.
