Rabbi Harvey’s perspective is smart, engaging, and uncommonly accessible, confronting challenging interfaith issues with candor and care. I suspect this little book will become a go-to resource for Christians who seek honest, cordial, fruitful relationships with their Jewish neighbors.

Let’s Talk is a brave gift to Jewish-Christian relations. Rabbi Harvey takes on subtle anti-Jewish stereotypes woven into Christianity. In their place, he offers clear, welcoming teachings about Jewish history, scripture, and holidays.

Let’s Talk: A Rabbi Speaks to Christians encapsulates everything I attempt to convey when addressing Christian audiences and college students about potential difficulties surrounding the topic of ‘Jews’ within a Christian context. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the historical, literary, and religious undertones of anti-semitism within historic Christendom, and how to be sure to avoid them today.
— Rabbi Moshe Daniel Levine, senior Jewish educator for Orange County Hillel and adjunct professor at UC Irvine
