I was raised in a synagogue Zappos mole.
00:00:02
Hebrew school, very traditional home but I was forbidden to read
00:00:06
the New Testament at all mr. Schecter won't teach us about
00:00:09
Christianity, we should learn about Jesus Christ, and he spits
00:00:12
on the hospital floor. He's spitting my hospital for
00:00:16
the rabbi. He says, don't you ever use that
00:00:19
word unless you use it as a Chrysler, and reading The
00:00:21
Gospel, According to st. Matthew, which is very hebraic
00:00:25
because he keeps on referring back to the Old Testament
00:00:28
prophecies, which I knew, but never Understood.
00:00:30
He was like a light bulb going off in my mind that the Messiah
00:00:34
would be born of a virgin that with the Messiah would be born
00:00:37
in Bethlehem, that Messiah would come before the destruction of
00:00:40
the second temple that the Messiah would conquer death.
00:00:43
I mean, it was like a light bulb going off on me and that changed
00:00:47
my life can. Yeah, it changed my life.
