Course Info
This course is a meaningful conversation about faith between the founder of Israel Bible Center, Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg, and Yair Feiglin, an orthodox Jew living next to Bethlehem. While Dr. Lizorkin-Eyzenberg went to Seminary and studied on several University campuses, Yair Feiglin spent years at Law School as well as studying under a well-known orthodox Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz. Though they do not share the same perspective on the Messiahship of Jesus as friends they frankly discuss topics of faith found on the pages Torah, each from their unique vantage point. They may not see eye to eye on some very important questions, but much of what they share with each other and between their communities of faith is common ground.
This course does not follow a traditional classroom presentation format. Instead, you are invited to sit in on an inquisitive conversation as two friends move from one biblical story to another. What you glean will deepen your faith and increase your Biblical literacy.

Posted 10 months agoGiven in the manner of two friends discussing things that do not have only ONE answer but are part of something greater...thus enriching the conversation. -

Posted 11 months agoVery interesting chat among two friends about the life of Jacob. Not sure if they really engaged much on the topic of faith though. -

Posted 1 year agoThe insights I am receiving from this conversation are amazing. Yair Feiglin's statement that we need only one friend hit me like a hammer! I live in a very isolated community and sometimes feel sorry for myself because my husband and I have few friends. A new perspective!
