Good Friday: Remembering as Ones Who Were There
When I read the crucifixion account this morning, especially after leading a Passover/Maundy Thursday gathering last night, I was struck by this thought when I read in the gospels: "they crucified him."

Hanukkah Short 2024 (Challah Day Podcast Short)
Did you know Hanukkah is mentioned in the New Testament?!? Tonight is the last night of Hanukkah, so I took just a few quiet moments to read the verse about Hanukkah in the gospel of John, and to give a quick tutorial on the background, miracle & dreidel game of the Feast of Dedication#hanukkah...

Why the Magi?
I’ve always been captivated by the Magi, for all sorts of reasons. In his gospel, Matthew doesn’t tell us how the magi knew about Israel’s coming Redeemer - or why, as Persians, they would dedicate upwards of two years to greet him. In this week’s vodcast, I give a quick answer (for a deeper…
