On the next episode of Set Apart we tackle the concept of the “forbidden chapter,” a relatively recent but quickly-spreading rumor about Jewish attitudes and practices toward the 53rd chapter of the Book of Isaiah.

No, but it’s more complicated than it initially seems. Tune in Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. for an exploration of the background of this myth, possible origins, potential impact, and why it just doesn’t add up.
