Christianity vs Judaism: A Jewish Response to The Dr. Daf Debate (Episode 1)

In the first episode of the response series to @drdafshow “The Bridge – Christian Women vs. Former Christian Women Who Are Now Jewish,” Tassja Cadoch (JewgreekanMama) and Jaye Naomi dive deep into the scripture itself, examining what the Hebrew text actually says compared to how it is often interpreted through a Christian lens.

Unpacking the major theological claims made during their discussion on The Dr. Daf Show, they explore the differences between the Hebrew and Christian understandings of prophecy, covenant, and translation.

This episode explores how mistranslation and cultural context have shaped centuries of belief, revealing what the Tanakh conveys when read in its original language.
