• God's Favorite People - Gentiles

  

  This class offers students a deep exploration of the role of Gentiles (non-Jews) in the Jewish tradition, focusing on their relationship with the Jewish people and their place in God's plan. Throughout history, the concept of the "Chosen People" has been central to Jewish identity, but the Torah and later Jewish writings also address the roles and responsibilities of Gentiles.

  Students will explore key texts from the Tanakh, Talmud, and other Jewish sources to understand how Gentiles are viewed in the Jewish tradition. The class will examine the idea of righteous Gentiles, the Seven Noahide Laws, and the prophetic visions of Gentile inclusion in the Messianic era.
