The group Attraction performed this shadow show in Cancun 2011 for Pesach. This performance is about the story of Jewish EXODUS. ENJOY!
A friend recently shared an article with me, written by a correspondent of one of the major US news agencies, that “Jews Are Reclaiming Jesus as One of their Own.” Turns out that there are several new books and much serious research afoot, and it’s entirely generated from within the Jewish community.

Question: In what way was Yeshua’s sacrifice superior to the sacrifices in the Temple or the Levitical sacrifices? And was the “atonement” provided effective?
Answer: In a nutshell, anytime you hear the comparison between the Levitical sacrifices compared to the sacrifice of Yeshua you should come to a FULL STOP and think- earthly vs. heavenly. If you can do that it will help tremendously. Continue reading

The Plus of Preparation
Preparation is a significant and integral part of every biblical holiday. The planning during the week prior to each Sabbath usually culminates on Friday in a bustle of cleaning, last minute shopping, food preparation and welcoming guests. Then the candles are lit and the peace of Shabbat is ushered in like a radiant, beautiful Queen. Without some advance planning and preparation this would not be possible. The same principle applies to the Shabbatot, the set-apart days, of the annual Festival Cycle. Preparations for the annual festival of Pesach, or Passover, begin at least a month before the holiday, with a planned schedule of thorough housecleaning – the model for “spring-cleaning”! Invitations are given or received for the Seder meal, which is prepared for in fine detail. Continue reading
Passover is, as it were, the “firstborn” of the biblical festivals. God set it in place when He proclaimed at the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt: “You shall therefore keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year” (Exodus 13:10). As a first, Passover also sets a precedent for the purpose of the mo’edim, the set times of the Festival Cycle. Arnold Eisen describes this basic purpose well in saying that they are a remembrance that we are between redemptions. “We are commanded to recall the past, in order to remember the present – to see it clearly, to know it fully, in all its possibilities – in the light of our future full redemption.” These appointments with God offer unique opportunities that enable us to look back on God’s mighty deeds, to live in His light in the present, and to look forward in faith.
