Science and Torah – The Debate that Never Was

A Full-Day Seminar with Rabbi Yechiel Krisch
Why Science and Torah Were Never Really at Odds

“WHAT IF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN SCIENCE AND TORAH WAS NEVER REAL—ONLY THE WAY WE’VE BEEN TAUGHT TO THINK ABOUT IT?”

For generations, science and Torah have been portrayed as being in conflict. What if the conflict never really existed—only the way we’ve been taught to think about it?

In this eye-opening seminar, scientist, educator, and rabbi – Yechiel Krisch – presents a fresh, practical framework that brings clarity to questions about the age of the universe, evolution, dinosaurs, archaeology, the Exodus, and more.

Based on the groundbreaking ideas in his book Synthesis, this seminar offers a compelling new perspective that may forever change the way you think about the science–Torah conversation.

The Same Questions. A Completely Different Way of Thinking.

  • The Age of the Universe
  • Evolution & Creation
  • Dinosaurs, Fossils & the Flood
  • Archaeology & the Exodus
  • Astronomy & the Biblical Worldview
  • Miracles, Eclipses & Natural Phenomena
  • Plus fascinating insights into extraterrestrial life and other thought-provoking questions.
