Hi and welcome to Links To Messiah, my name is Rachel Kushner.
My father was a Jew by birth, a Christian by faith in Jesus and he honored both in our family traditions. My two younger sisters and I grew up experiencing the best of both worlds: Passover and Easter, Christmas, and Hanukkah. On Friday evenings, we would gather our finest dinnerware and fancy “wine” glasses and traditional challah bread to celebrate Shabbat together as a family. I recall my mother lighting the Sabbath candles and praying in Hebrew. We learned many Hebrew prayers, enjoyed our annual Passover seder meals, gobbled up delicious potato pancakes called latkes at Hanukkah and learned the deep meaning of how Yeshua, Hebrew for Jesus, fulfilled the prophecies foretold in the Old Testament.
Teaching families Jewish traditions and culture to better understand the Bible is something near and dear to my heart. I want your family to be able to experience the joy and depth of understanding that I did as a kid.
Because I have such fond memories of the Jewish holidays, I created Links to Messiah. At an early age, I learned the magnificence of our Christian heritage. My desire is that you and your children will have a richer experience and understanding of the gospel when you learn how the current Jewish holidays so eloquently point us to Jesus.
