Kol Avrum is a monthly interview podcast from The CJN Podcast Network. Host Avrum Rosensweig invites listeners to join him for in-depth conversations that cut to the core of what it means to live a Jewish life, both in Canada and beyond.

In our second episode, Avrum interviews Julius Ciss, an old friend and the executive director and founder of Jews for Judaism, a counter-missionary organization. In our schmooze, you’ll hear the fascinating story of how he, a son of Holocaust survivors, became a believer in Jesus Christ for five years—and how he found his way back to Judaism, eventually launching a non-profit aimed at helping Jews in similar situations. Julius is a brave man and a powerful community leader who has saved many Jewish souls, and this compelling interview dives deep into the life of a man who talks the spiritual talk and walks the spiritual walk.
