Ben Cohen is a Jew who has gone where possibly no other Jew has gone before. The son of a rabbi, he spent a year visiting every brand of Christian community he could find. His adventure took him from mosh pits to mountain tops; from monasteries to mega-churches. On Sunday night, find out what Christianity looks like through the eyes of an Orthodox Jew, and whether Ben Cohen found his Messiah.

Segment :- My Jesus Year by Ben Cohen
Very interesting chat that you were able to have with Ben.
He talked (touched on) about rituals that are apart of his daily life as an Orthodox Jew. ie put same foot into shoe ..the same foot every time each day.
- Traditions of men that could be seen as a heavy yoke...(Tulmud ..not Tooah).
I have seen an interview with a Messaniac Jew in the land -Israel. He talked about some of the problems Jews face. They included ..dealing with (not in order of gravity).. Easter and Christmas .. not attached to The Tenach. (possible concern with Jer.10:3,4)..comanded to keep the "MY" Feasts. They do not always appear on the same days. ..
Ben talked about the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8 Deut 5:12). The Sabbath(s) not being kept were one of the reasons for Israel/Judah getting into so much strife.
The man from Jews for Jesus made a good point about the Messanic Community.. appears not o have been visited??
I enjoyed listening for the first time.
Ps
There was a man on the ..call in.. that mentioned about Jesus returning as Jew "King of the Jews" or Christian.
..then I may have not heard correctly when mentioned Muslims,Jews, Christans(Belivers in Messiah)were looking to the "ONE".
Muslims do not recognise that a mighty one (God) would have a son.. (1John4:2&3).
A lot of believers have that misunderstanding of the 3 faiths in this aspect owith Islam.
