  • Julius Ciss: From Judaism to Jesus to Judaism
    Mar 3 2020

    In our second episode, Avrum interviews Julius Ciss, an old friend and the executive director and founder of Jews for Judaism, a counter-missionary organization. In our schmooze, you’ll hear the fascinating story of how he, a son of Holocaust survivors, became a believer in Jesus Christ for five years—and how he found his way back to Judaism, eventually launching a non-profit aimed at helping Jews in similar situations. Julius is a brave man and a powerful community leader who has saved many Jewish souls, and this compelling interview dives deep into the life of a man who talks the spiritual talk and walks the spiritual walk.
