It’s Rosh Hashannah – the Jewish New Year – and tonight, Diane and I are (hopefully) going to spend the evening with some of the Messianic Jew community here in Sydney. I’m looking forward to what I’m undoubtedly going to learn.
Sad that so many Jews have missed seeing Christ in all these holidays. If you get the opportunity to be part of a Jews For Jesus presentation on the Passover meal and learn how Christ is there at every turn, I highly recommend it.
Are you interested in Jewish holidays? Do you think they have any significance or relevance (in a totally non-legalistic way) for today’s Christian community?
Jewish Prayer Focus 2009 : Sept 18 to Oct 9
The Jewish Prayer Focus is a call to intercession for the Jewish people for the 22-day period (September 18-October 9) during the Holy Days of the Biblical calendar in Lev 23:26ff.
Its main focus is to pray for the salvation of the Jews and also to prepare for the return of the Messiah, which these holidays foreshadow.
The prayer guide contains prayer points, teachings, testimonies, and introductions to Israeli congregations, mostly written by Messianic leaders themselves.
And if you’re in Australia…
