Celebrating the Jewish Holiday's in the Bible Belt

Growing up in the South in a not so Jewish community, we definitely stood out. We were a mixed household celebrating both Christian and Jewish holidays and now get to continue on that tradition with our families. With Rosh Hashanah & Yum Kippur right around the corner, we figured there's no better time to talk about what life has a Metha-Jew was like.

2 Reasons to Celebrate Purim

Here are 2 reasons why we should celebrate Purim. Did you know Jesus celebrated it and other Jewish festivals, too? Learn more in this episode!

The Old Testament tells of many festivals and celebrations that God’s people shared.

Although we are not bound by Jewish law, there are several reasons why we should celebrate Purim as Christians.

These Jewish festivals celebrate the amazing things that God has done. But for us Christians, why should we celebrate Purim?

Purim is one of my most favorite celebrations. It teaches us how God works in marvelous ways. He worked in the past and also works today to protect us, His people.

In Hebrews 13:5, it says, “I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.” This verse was written for us. It is also the culmination of Esther.

Thus, Purim is the beautiful story of victory. Through the working of God, the Jewish people were saved. This is why the line of Jesus existed… And he continues to live in each and every one of those who believe in him!

So why should we celebrate Purim? First, Purim teaches us how God works in a fun, yet amazing way. The stories that talk about God’s miracles, love, and power are a reminder of what He has done. Through these stories, we understand who God is. And yes, He continues to work today to save us! Children love to read and even act out engaging stories.

They also love parties. So, what better way to learn and understand these Bible stories than to make it fun and engaging! Purim is all about reliving the wonderful stories of salvation in the Bible.

Second, Jesus celebrated these festivals.

While Purim is not mentioned specifically in the New Testament, it is likely the Jewish feast mentioned in the Book of John. “After this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.” John 5:1

Purim takes place before Passover, which was the festival most likely mentioned in the said Bible verse.

So these are just 2 of the biggest reasons why we should celebrate Purim. God works in amazing ways, and let us remember this through Purim - a beautiful celebration of God’s power, love, and victory!

Classical Classroom, Episode 31: RERUN - The Music Of Hanukkah (Chanuka? Hanuka?) With Cantor Benjamin Matis

2013 was – I think we can all agree – a magical year. It was the year of the arthouse film Sharknado, the year of the Harlem Shake, and the year that Justin Bieber was separated from his pet monkey. But more important than any of those moments? Thanksgivukkah happened. Learn all about this phenomenon, about the history of Hanukkah, and about the music of the holiday in this Classical Classroom episode from the vault.

Cantor Benjamin Matis

Happy Thanksgivukkah everyone! That’s right: the Julian and the Hebrew calendars have aligned this year to create a day even more amazing than Hanukkah and more delicious than Thanksgiving. There won’t be another until the year 79811! To honor this rare occasion, Cantor Benjamin Matis of the Shelter Rock Jewish Center in Roslyn, New York in Long Island schools us on the history and music of Hanukkah.

Audio production by Todd “Toddfurky” Hulslander with a side of help and gravy from Dacia Clay.
