The other day I was watching this video on YouTube: It is an hour and forty-one minutes long, however there are some very interesting questions asked with some perspectives given from both a Jewish point of view, and from the point of view of a Gentile. A gentile is easy to define as they are […]

One of the more amusing concepts to me when speaking with younger individuals is the idea of ‘you don’t know me’.
