Rabbi Tovia Singer on What the Bible Really Says About Jesus

In this incredible conversation Gabi Koyenov interviews Rabbi Tovia Singer on his lifelong work countering Christian missionary efforts and helping Jews who converted to Christianity return to Judaism. Rabbi Singer explains how growing up after the Holocaust and encountering groups like Jews for Jesus pushed him to study primary Christian sources, the New Testament, church councils, and Tanakh, concluding Christianity misquotes Hebrew scripture and contains anti-Jewish themes. He discusses why Jews convert—typically due to limited Jewish education, alienation, low self-esteem, and personal crises—plus the social pull of evangelical communities, and says education can “inoculate” Jews against missionaries. Singer emphasizes he aims to strengthen faith, not create atheists, highlighting Tanakh’s message of teshuvah and God’s accessibility, contrasting it with Christian doctrines of sin and salvation. He closes urging people to return to original sources and shares outreachjudaism.com and his YouTube channel.
