In 2014, he came to Boston University (BU) as a Visiting Researcher at Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies. During the time of his visit, he came to faith and was baptized into Christ. Upon the expiration of his appointment, he chose to stay and enrolled into the theological studies at BU\u2019s School of Theology. He graduated with a MDiv. Magna Cum Claude in 2019. Rev.
