For millennia, the Passover celebration has held so much meaning for Jews, but other faiths are just beginning to grasp its depth and significance. Nevertheless, some fundamental questions about the celebration are still debated. Why should such an ancient custom matter to other faiths? What is the proper way of observing this day? How can Jews and Christians work together to honor this occasion? Popular speaker and religious writer Rabbi Evan Moffic now seeks to answer these and other essential questions about the Passover. Rabbi Moffic begins with the Jewish history and the Hebrew Bible to demonstrate how these form the root of Christianity. He explores the Jewish Passover Seder and explains how to integrate it into other faith’s religious celebrations, including Easter. He presents inspiration and wisdom of the Hebrew Scriptures, and offers understanding and appreciation of the culture in which Jesus lived. By weaving together theology, history, Jewish practices and customs, and Christianity, Rabbi Moffic explores the radical claim that one meal — one momentous meal — can in fact change your life.
