  • Insightful conversations

    The Bridge Builders Forum is an excellent platform for Jews and Christians to discuss challenging topics about their faiths and the overlapping pieces that are often overlooked. As a follower of Yeshua (Jesus), I have found much value from these conversations and I really appreciate the way they are conducted — honor, respect, grace…without lacking any depth.
