About this episode

The episode explores the relationship between Messianic Judaism and the symbolism of the cross, particularly in the context of Tisha Be’Av and the fall of Jerusalem.

Messianic Judaism has an awkward relationship with the symbolism of the cross. Tisha Be’Av shows us how to recontextualize the cross, its meaning, and its atoning virtue in connection with the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.
