I had not originally intended to extend yesterday’s piece on Jewish evangelism, but now I am. (I told my family once, “I’m old and I can do what I want to.”) I have something more for tomorrow as well. Several of you shared your thoughts on the previous post. I’m glad you’re reading and hope…

Jewish people need Yeshua! Why is that statement so hard to understand? Yeshua said as much. We can learn much from the episode of the Canaanite woman who came to Yeshua seeking healing for her daughter, who was “severely tormented by a demon.” In the middle of their discussion, Yeshua makes this statement … Matthew…

Although God’s name is never mentioned in the Book of Esther, His power and presence are everywhere within this ancient story. The same is true today. God put His hand of favor on an orphaned Jewish girl named Hadassah, but called Esther, as she rose to the most powerful position in the entire kingdom, other…

Leviticus 11:1-2 Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.” To eat or not to eat, that is the question. I’m not Shakespeare, just borrowing from Hamlet. No pun intended. Get…
