Shalom Mishpochah, Bad Decision Spiritually While we always try to choose to walk in the Light, focus on the Light, and rejoice in the Light— Yeshua—the Lord strongly impressed on us this month that we must expose the darkness as well. We do not please God by ignoring what is happening around us, nor by neglecting to

Holiday Greetings in Messiah, A Month of RETURNING All three of the Fall Feasts occur this year in the month of September. That makes this month a special holy month on God’s calendar. Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, begins the evening of September 13, 2015. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins the evening of September

Dear ones in Yeshua, Water Immersion: the Jewish Root The month of August is a good month to immerse ourselves—in God first, in His Word, in His work, and, if appropriate, in water. Long before the word “baptism” existed, there was a Hebrew word connected with a Jewish ritual. That word is “tevilah” (pronounced teh-vee-LAH). A regular

Summer blessings in Messiah, Look Up! As we earnestly sought the Lord for His Word for you this month, we knew that our message would have to be one that stirred up, even unsettled some of you. The topic is somewhat unusual for us. Those of you who have been with us for many years know that

Blessings in The Father’s Love! Father Facts from John As we celebrate Father’s Day this year, our thoughts focus not only on our earthly fathers, but on our Heavenly Father.

Our departure from Fort Lauderdale for JFK, where we were scheduled to meet the rest of our Mercy Mission group, was a mixture of blessings and challenges. The first blessing was a woman named Danielle, an

Passover Greetings in the Lamb! Focus on The Lamb This year is a special year: The Jewish and Christian calendars coincide, with the evening of Passover falling on Good Friday. Resurrection Sunday occurs during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, highlighting the scriptural truth that Yeshua, The Lamb of God, is the “first fruits” of those who will

Shalom b’shem Yeshua! The Ruach and the Rabbis At the beginning of 2015 we were invited to a historic symposium held in a Jewish Community Center in the Fort Lauderdale area. Why was it historic? Because for the first time ever, traditional rabbis (Reform, Conservative and Orthodox) and pastors of various denominations met to dialogue on a common

Dear Lovers of God and People! “Simplicity” During the December holidays the Lord kept bringing one word to my heart and mind: simplicity. I had been thanking Him for the blessing of our celebration of Hanukkah: two storage boxes under the guest room bed, less than one hour to decorate the condo, and even less to put

Blessings as we enter 2015! God still speaks in New York City! The Lord gave us a profound word, through an unlikely source, while visiting our son Jesse in New York City this fall. We feel led to share it with you, our Jewish Jewels partners, as we enter a new year, since this word
