I am honored to feature an interview I conducted with Rachel Lazerus. I know Rachel from our shared advocacy work at the Coalition for Responsible Home Education (CRHE). We’ve been discussing on and off her experiences as “the Jewish person” working side by side with former evangelical and fundamentalist Christian homeschoolers. We wanted to do this interview to give the Christian homeschool alumni community (and the broader ex-fundamentalist community) an opportunity to learn about Judaism and its history and traditions of thought and how that history and those traditions differ from the evangelical/fundamentalist lens with which we were raised to view both Jewish people and the Tanakh.
