Summary of the Passover Torah Readings

On the FIRST DAY OF PASSOVER we read from the book of Exodus (12:21-51) of the bringing of the Passover Offering in Egypt, the Plague of the Firstborn at the stroke of midnight, and how “On this very day, G‑d took the Children of Israel out of Egypt.”

Mount of Olives

We start our tour of the Mount of Olives by going to the Seven Arches Hotel and looking North, South, East and West to get oriented in what is arguably one of the most famous views in the entire world. Part 1 of 4.

What Was Jesus' Favourite Book? Gidon Ariel Talks to Jeff About The "Bible" in the First Century

"I found this fascinating . As a Child Educator I gleaned so much on how the process might have happened. Loved the Grandma part possibly singing the psalms. All the history piece vital to seeing Jesus absorbing “God’s word” through his culture at that time. Thank you!"
