Jews and Judaism in the Qur’an

     Has it always been so bad? Have Muslims always hated Jews with the ferocity we see today? Does Islam teach hatred of Jews, and others? What the Qur’an, Islam’s holy book, say about Jews and Judaism?
     In this dispassionate lecture, Dr. Katz takes the audience through the Qur’an, and many surprises are waiting. In the Qur’an are remarkably philo-Judaic verses, including the affirmation of Israel as G-d’s promise to the Jews, and its great esteem for Abraham, Moses, and other Jewish prophets. But of course, there is more to the story.
