Sometimes, I get a question that's easy. Other times, I'm jumping from commentator to commentator to be like, well, this person says this, but this other person says this, this person mostly agrees with the first one, and here are my thoughts.

As the group facilitator, that thought does cross my mind a lot! Because my method is less lecture and more, "what are your thoughts and comments and questions and parts that confused you" interspersed with commentaries and my own ramblings.

In June 2023, I started a study looking at all the places where Sodom or Gomorrah were mentioned in the Christian Bible. I don't think I mentioned Jesus outside of the opening prayer while we were in the Hebrew Scriptures portion of the study. Maybe if someone mentioned him first.

And discovering the Sefaria site and app has helped me immensely. Because they at least have a few resources in English that I can turn to that give a Jewish perspective.

Some of us focus on the context of the book instead of jumping to "and this is how it's about Jesus." Like, when I lead a study for LGBTQIA+ Christian furries on a book in the Hebrew Scriptures, I hardly bring up Jesus. I want to learn from the text first and foremost.

Not in Hebrew, as I unfortunately do not know the language, but I do read it in English. The book we call Ecclesiastes (Kohelet, I believe) is one of my top three out of all of the Hebrew and Christian books in the Christian scriptures. And I think we should learn from them.
