In this episode of the WakingWorld podcast, Dale and Toby dive into a recent ChatGPT conversation about the Talmud—examining its origins, structure, purpose, and the controversies surrounding it.
With heightened global scrutiny on Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, they ask whether it's fair to question and analyse the religious texts that underpin aspects of Jewish tradition and identity. The discussion explores claims circulating online about the Talmud’s portrayal of Christianity and Jesus Christ.
Are these claims misinformation, truth taken out of context, or something else entirely? And regardless of their accuracy, what impact do they have on perceptions of the wider Jewish community?
