Jesus In the Jewish Passover

     Beth Shalom is blessed to celebrate with you a Passover Seder and share a moving teaching on Jesus in the Jewish Passover.  Passover has been celebrated since the Exodus from Egypt and the original story has deep significance to both Jews and Gentiles as a tremendous story of redemption.
     But the traditions of Passover do not merely look back on our common religious history and the miracles associated with the deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt.  Each of the customs associated with Passover, including both the original instructions in scripture and the customs incorporated into the service in the generations since the first Passover, have a deeper significance than at first seems apparent.
     Why are certain dishes always associated with the Passover meal?  What dish is surprisingly absent from a traditional Seder?  Why is an extra place setting reserved at the table?  Why does the bread look so strange?  Is the significance of Passover merely historical, or is it also prophetic?  Are Gentiles allowed to partake of the Passover?  And why would they want to, anyway?
     We invite you to join us to find out the answers to these questions and many more.  It is our fervent prayer that through participating in this ancient ceremony you may deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ.  It is because of our faith in Him that Beth Shalom exists—proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and promoting the unity of the faith to both Jew and Gentile.
