Summary

Raised in Conservative Judaismβ€”Hebrew school, barβ€―mitzvah and allβ€”he entered UCLA as an agnostic Jew. A persistent gentile believer co‑worker backed every point with Old and New Testament passages, then challenged him to read Isaiahβ€―53, Isaiahβ€―9:6, Danielβ€―9:24‑27 and Zechariahβ€―12:10 in his own Hebrew Bible. Connecting those prophecies with Matthewβ€―23 brought him to tears and faith in Yeshua. Today he encourages Jewish seekers to β€œconnect the dots” in Scripture and Gentiles to honor cultural sensitivities when sharing the Gospel.
