Dear Family and Friends, While reading through the Gospel, have you ever noticed how many chapters are devoted to the last weeks of Jesus’ life? Have you ever felt that the first three years of Jesus’ ministry seem to fly by, wondering if the authors somehow skipped over months of Jesus’ life? Have you ever

Dear Family and Friends, Less than a month from now, as Christian families around the world pause to commemorate Good Friday and celebrate Easter, Jewish families around the world will also be pausing – to celebrate Passover.
