Biblical Feasts

Christians are familiar with Christmas and Easter but know very little about the biblical feasts described in Scripture. Yet long before church calendars existed, God established appointed times for His people through the Torah.

The Spirit came in a Jewish context, among a Jewish people, in a city marked by covenant history, during a feast established in the Scriptures of Israel.

There are seasons in Scripture when God’s people are called to move, and there are seasons when they are called to prepare. Shavuot places us inside one of those preparing moments.

he Jews have a divine mandate to stay, live, and be a distinct nation. The glue that has kept Jews as a nation is their holidays.

The commandment and the practice of building the booth were for all the men of Israel

We can change God's mind by using his mercy and long-suffering. The options are in our hands.

Joseph Shulam I want to discuss some New Testament passages that are easier to understand, given their background in the Jewish world of the first century.

Most Christians belong to movements that started in the 19th century, aiming primarily to restore the first-century church. Restoring the first-century church is necessary in

It is time to start thinking about Passover! April 22nd. I will be posting several of my Passover specialties in the next two weeks!

So, here it is....... Charoset
