Unfortunatly this intelligent Jewish lady is very right about the human condition of the heart. Though the God of the old & new testament, Jew and non-Jew alike, made a way (through faith in Yeshua HaMaShiach) to change the corrupt and evil heart of mankind and human individuals. God anounced this change of heart to the Jewish people (Israël) through the prophet Ezekiël:
"I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh." (Ezekiël 11:19)
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. " (Ezekiël 36:26)
Yeshua Himself speaks about this regeneration of the heart (for Jews and later also the Gentiles, crafted in) in John 3:1-21 which is a souvereign act of God, when one comes in repentance and humility, asking God/Yeshua for forgiveness, inviting God into ones life, confessing and recognising the fallen state and evil condition of his/her own heart. The 'new spirit' God promises by giving the 'new heart' is the wonderful Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) a person receives when he/she is born-again/anew (given the new forgiven and cleansed heart) and has turned to the Lord (accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour, Redeemer, Messiah and Lord).
