On the Seder Plate: Beitzah

A devotional by Lea Dickinson.

___________________________________________________________________________

During the Passover Seder we eat many symbolic foods. Passover is rich in symbolism. One such item that we partake in is the egg, or in Hebrew, beitzah. The egg represents all the lambs that were sacrificed back at the temple in Jerusalem.

One interpretation that I recently read, by Rabbi Yossy Goldman, refers to the egg being a symbol of the beginning of life. Like the egg, Passover represents the beginning of the Jewish people’s freedom from Egypt. Life has stages and so too, does an egg. The egg does not just exist, it has a beginning. The egg first starts out inside of the hen, then the egg is laid and eventually with care, time and warmth, it hatches into a baby chick. When the Jewish people left Egypt, they were just like that egg. They were coming out of 400 years of enslavement and then they were freed from the chains of slavery, but they were not quite born anew. They no longer were under the jurisdiction of the Egyptians. They were like children in need of guidance. God, knowing what the Jewish people needed, eventually brought the Israelites to Mount Sinai where he gave them the Torah. They now had a new life with Godly rules that they were to follow.

From a Messianic standpoint, we know that life comes through Yeshua the Messiah, who is our sacrificial Passover lamb. He was and he is our final sacrifice and he is all that we need. Jesus has given us freedom from the bondage of sin and death and the power of darkness. He is our light in a dark world. We can trust that he will meet our needs and will provide for us, much like how he provided for the Jewish people 5,000 years ago.

Now, during the Passover meal, we dip the egg into salt water and we eat it. This reminds us of the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. and the tears shed because of how sad we are that we can no longer sacrifice bulls, goats and lambs at the temple. So, in another sense, the egg represents mourning because no longer would the sins of the Jewish people be wiped clean, but we know that in Yeshua, we have been made clean once again, and no longer need the sacrifices of animals to atone for our sins! This Passover, let’s be reminded, that we are made new in Yeshua the Messiah. Please pray with me, that my Jewish people would come to this beautiful revelation and that their lives would be made new in Christ.

My Passover Identity

My favorite holiday is Passover, and no other holiday has shaped me, or continues to do so, more than this one.

Passover first started molding me like a gefilte fish patty (Google it) while sitting around the dining room table in my grandparents home in Skokie, Illinois. I would arrive with my mother and we would join other family members in what is known as the Seder—an interactive ceremony that leverages our taste buds to engage our minds (and hopefully our hearts) with the incredible story of the Israelite exodus 3500 years ago from the bondage and suffering of slavery in Mitzrayim (Egypt). To help us reflect upon our ancestor’s story of deliverance at the hand of a Mighty God, my grandfather led us in reading through a story guide called the hagaddah (we used a free one published by Maxwell House until we eventually graduated to a more sophisticated one with pictures in it).

It was an epic story of bondage and redemption orchestrated by God that was accompanied by an epic meal with beef brisket and matzah ball soup that was orchestrated by my grandmother.

The Passover holiday took on a whole different level of epic in my life when I came to know Jesus as my Messiah and discovered that he also looked forward to Passover. Jesus said to his disciples, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer (Luke 22:15). Although I doubt it was because of the dinner menu.

In the New Testament, most bible translations take the liberty to subtitle the passage that Jesus and disciples shared the Passover together as The Last Supper. While it was certainly the last meal they would share together before his crucifixion, it was far more than that. It was an appointment with God, and this particular evening His Son was about to leverage the table to point to the suffering that he would go through to deliver depraved sinners like you and me.

The most important elements on the table were the unleavened bread and the cup of wine. The bread was known by the name God had given it, the Bread of Affliction, and it is this bread that Jesus took, recited the HaMotzi blessing, broke, and said—This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me. The name of the cup that followed the meal is believed to have been known as the Cup of Redemption, which Jesus took, recited the Kiddush blessing, and said—This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you (Luke20:20).

Jesus…afflicted and poured out for me. Why? Because I was a slave to sin and that sin separated me from living the life God had intended for me.

If we’re honest with ourselves, we all have our Mitzrayims that we’re enslaved to. We all have our “Egypts.” What’s yours? Greed? Anger? Jealousy? Bitterness? The inability to control yourself? God sent his Son—The Lamb of God—to pay the ransom to set us free from the penalty and the enslavement that our “Egypt’s” bring.

That is the story of Jesus’ Passover table that his followers are commanded to remember.

But there is more.

The other message Jesus taught at the table that evening is that he is equally as interested in enslaving and molding us into his way of life. He asked a very good question of his disciples—Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? (Luke 22:27).

If your server at a restaurant ever asks you this question, be careful how you answer.

Jesus’ table is not just about remembering the freedom from the eternal consequences that our sin unleashes in our world, but it is an invitation to enter into the life of suffering that Jesus lived through service and sacrifice for others.

This is the story of the Passover table that we must graduate to. Jesus did not just provide a ticket to ride to the other side of Glory, but he invites us into suffering daily with him in his ongoing work of delivering our world from the bondage of sin that entangles and destroys.

Jesus said at the Passover table…You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom (Luke 22:29-30).

Every time we choose to serve and love others, we eat and drink at that table with him. When we choose to be generous, and kind, and forgiving, and gracious, we dine at his table. When we admit that we were wrong, or choose not to blast someone’s character in a social media post, or give someone a second chance, or sit at a table with other sinners like us, we feast at his table.

This is the Passover table that I’m learning to feast at.

Justin Kron, National Ministries Representative and eXperience Israel Program Director with Chosen People Ministries, became a follower of Jesus at a young age and grew up with one foot in the Jewish world and one foot in the Christian world, and has subsequently developed a passion to acquaint Christians with the Jewish roots and heritage of the Christian faith, and to become better equipped and engaged in living an authentic faith among their Jewish friends and neighbors.

Cleansing our Homes & Lives of Leaven

In five days time begins one of the most celebrated festivals of Judaism; that is, Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Easter has come and gone, and perhaps you had the joy of attending a Passover presentation at church, but according to Scripture, the dates of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection coincide with the days of Passover, which on the Jewish calendar falls next weekend. Passover is one of my favorite holidays because the biblical Jewish traditions surrounding it provide so much rich symbolism through which we can learn a great deal about the character of God, how He has chosen to relate to mankind and His incredible plan to redeem us by sending a Savior or Messiah to make the necessary payment for our sin.

As I clean my home of chametz, or leaven, and prepare for Passover to begin, I embrace the tangible reminder to meditate on all that God has done for me and examine my life and heart for areas of sin that also need to be cleansed, as God continues to sanctify me and make my life a clearer reflection of Himself.

Whether you are Jewish or not, I invite you to join me in physically and spiritually removing leaven from your life this Passover. To help us intentionally meditate on the spiritual truths symbolized in Passover, I’ve asked eight respected friends to write a devotional for each day of unleavened bread. Reading them has already blessed my socks off and I’m confident you will enjoy them too! This first wonderful devotional by our coworker, Stephen Arnold, explains the significance of cleansing the home of leaven.

__________________________________________________________________________

“Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.” Exodus 12:15 (ESV)

“Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” I Corinthians 5:6-8 (ESV)

The story of Passover is the story of the exodus of the Jewish people out of Egypt. When the Jewish people left Egypt, it says that they left in such haste that their dough didn’t have time to be leavened (Ex. 12:39). Once this unleavened dough was cooked, the result was matzah, which is essentially a large cracker.

While this is the origin of eating matzah on Passover, there is a much deeper significance to why God commanded that no leaven be eaten during Passover. This is because leaven represents sin. The seriousness of this representation is displayed in the punishment for eating leaven during Passover: expulsion from Israel (Ex. 12:15). The person who eats leaven during Passover is essentially saying that he is disregarding the covenant that God has made with His people, and this rebellion has repercussions.

This is why Orthodox Jews go to great lengths to cleanse their homes of leaven. Every corner of their home is cleaned from top to bottom. Even special dishes are used, which are only used during Passover and have never touched leaven. Nothing is left unclean or uninspected. Every book they own is shaken out to ensure that if someone was eating a cookie while reading, no single crumb containing leaven could be found contaminating their home.

This is the point: sin is what separates us from God (Is. 59:2, Rom. 6:23). If sin once completely separated us from God and we have been forgiven through the blood of the Lamb, how can we allow it to continue in our lives once we are cleansed? The act of cleaning out one’s home of symbolic sin should be a huge reminder to clean all sin out of our lives. It may seem strange that some Jewish people go to such extremes to cleanse their homes of leaven, but have we gone to such extremes to cleanse the most spiritually toxic thing from our lives? Have we even taken the time to examine the hidden corners of our lives so we can clean out the filth and be brought closer to our Savior? As Passover is a time of remembering Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection, may this season be a time of introspection and removal of sin so we can partake of the body and blood of our Messiah in a worthy manner (I Cor. 11:27-32).

Five Things I Want My Friends to Know About Purim

Purim is coming up next week! You may be very familiar with the biblical story of Queen Esther, but since many Christians are less familiar with the Jewish traditions surrounding Purim, I asked my good friend, Lea Dickinson, to write up a guest post about this special holiday.

For those of you, who have never heard of Purim or have been curious to learn, here are five points to give you a quick overview!

Purim, like many Jewish holidays, celebrates God’s preservation of the Jewish people. An ancient holiday that is still being celebrated by Jewish people this very day, Purim commemorates the freedom of the Jewish people in Persia from destruction. Haman, an evil man, plotted to destroy the Jewish people. If it weren’t for Esther’s bravery and her Uncle Mordechai relaying the message to Esther to go to the King, the Jewish people would have been wiped out, much like the Holocaust. We celebrate Purim because we are thankful that we were not annihilated and that God sustained us.

Jewish holiday – Jewish calendar. Purim is celebrated every year on the 14^th of Adar, which is a Jewish month. On the Gregorian calendar, the date of Purim changes, but on the Hebrew Calendar it never changes. As it happens, this year Purim lands on March 23-24, the same week as Easter, even though you might be celebrating Passover at your church!

“The whole megillah.” It is traditional to go to the synagogue for a reading of the whole book of Esther, or as we call it, the Megillah, (which literally means “scroll”) on Purim. It is also traditional as one reads to loudly “Boo” the name of Haman and to shout “Yay!”, when the names Mordechai or Esther are read. The reason we do this is to blot out the name of Haman. Try it with your family! It’s fun!

Purim is sometimes called the Jewish Halloween, but it’s meant only in the sense of wearing costumes. Purim is a time of celebration. And what better way to celebrate than dressing up? Children and adults alike will dress up as one of the characters mentioned in the book of Esther, and those who are less traditional may wear any kind of costume.

Hamentashen! It’s not a celebration without food! At Purim, we eat delicious hamentashen, which are cookies in the shape of a three pointed hat (said to be Haman’s hat, or ears, depending on who you talk to) that are filled with a filling of choice. This is a traditional dessert that is always eaten on Purim, and it’s very easy to make! Follow this link for Carissa’s family recipe and try it for yourself! And if you have a Jewish friend, they would be delighted to receive a basket of hamentashen from you next week! Happy Purim!

Hamentashen for Purim: A Ziegler Family Recipe

Poppy seeds get every where. Flour dusts the counter tops and I somehow managed to get apricot jam in my hair. But the buttery fruit and vanilla scent coming from the oven is worth it. Many years growing up, my family celebrated the holiday of Purim by baking hamentashen. It’s a little tricky to learn the pronunciation, and it can make a mess of your kitchen, but they are delicious and fantastically versatile. I think next year, I’ll try a nutella filling. What do you think?

As tradition has it, these jam and nut filled gems are meant to resemble Haman’s hat, or ears, depending on who you ask. Either way, they’re a fun way to celebrate! So, here’s the family recipe. Double the batch and have plenty to share! They make a great goody basket to show the love of Jesus to your Jewish friends, or to educate your Gentile friends about Jewish culture and the need for love and restoration from the Church to Jewish people. This is such a fun and easy way to make a difference!

Ziegler Family Hamentashen (from Bubbe Dorothy Ziegler)

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

zest of one lemon

1/2 juice from lemon

1 cup oil

1 tsp baking soda

3 tsp baking powder

Grind nuts & raisins together. Add remaining ingredients and blend with a little water.

Kerstetter Chronicles: A Very Jewish Gospel

I can still see the amazement and anticipation on their faces, as Carissa explained what it was like for her growing up as a Jewish follower of Jesus. I held my breath, thinking that any second one of the two Israeli guys or the Jewish girl from New York would get defensive or change the subject. But they looked awestruck. They didn’t say a word, or even seem to blink, as she explained the significance of a part of the Passover Seder that has stumped most rabbis for centuries, and described how clearly it points to Yeshua.

We made the perfect team. When she got stumped trying to explain the Trinity, I was excited to put my studies to good use and explain the significance of the Hebrew word, “echad,” (Deuteronomy 6:4) which means “one” but actually indicates multiple persons in one God.

God allowed us to plant many seeds like these ones in a very short time. We were blessed to see 39 backpackers come through the Shelter on the Lake during our three week stay in Argentina. Nearly all of them were engaged in spiritual conversations and accepted copies of the New Testament. Of course, closest to our hearts are the connections we made with numerous Israelis. By watching and working with the incredible team at the Shelter, we learned various approaches to starting spiritual conversations with backpackers, and grew in boldness. In the second phase of our trip, our survey of potential locations in Brazil answered all of our questions and provided all the information needed. Please continue to pray with us as we try to discern God’s will for our location.

Now that we’re back in Chicago, we are more eager than ever to visit Israel to follow up with the friends we made and learn more about Israeli culture and outreach. So, we are again praying about going to Israel this summer! Plans are in motion, and we will let you know when we know if they will work out! (Please pray that they do!)

All of this has given us renewed passion to pursue this ministry, but has also made us impatient to finish our preparations and begin this work. It is more challenging now to stay focused on what God has for us in Chicago, as our hearts long for the work God has in store for us in Brazil, but we have no doubt that this is where He wants us right now and that He will continue to bless our time here.

Thank you for your continued prayer and support. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

Blessings,

BJ and Carissa Kerstetter

When it Looks Like Your Missionaries Are on Vacation

It must have crossed your mind. If I were you, and I saw our Facebook posts of perfect sandy beaches, gorgeous mountain hikes and laughing groups of friends, I’d be thinking it. “Am I paying for my missionaries to go on vacation or do missions work?”

We sure wouldn’t blame you for asking. Maybe you’re more gracious than I am, because you haven’t asked. But if you in any way support our work, here’s what you should know about backpacker ministry and why it’s actually important that it looks like we’re on vacation.

Backpackers are tourists. So, if you want to hang out with backpackers, you have to do touristy things. Like go rock climbing or hang out on Brazil’s most beautiful beaches. That’s where the backpackers go, so that’s where we go to talk to them.

Backpacker ministry is living the dream. YES we will go to amazing places and do amazing things with amazing people. YES this means we will get to do what we love much of the time. YES we count ourselves ridiculously blessed. But please believe me when I say… backpacker ministry definitely doesn’t feel like vacation most of the time.

Ministry is hard work no matter where you do it. True, we’re hanging out on breath-taking mountain tops in Patagonia and sipping coconut water on Copacabana, but while we’re in those places, we’re doing much more than enjoying the view. We’re constantly on the lookout to make new friends, actively scouring the area for Israeli shoes (yes, shoes) and conversations in Hebrew. Once we connect with a couple of Israelis or other backpackers, we are working hard to build up that connection and find any way we can to naturally and strategically turn the conversation to spiritual things. This may be the coolest thing we can imagine doing, but it’s anything but easy.

We are not “missionaries.” Yes, that may be the best way to describe what we do on Sunday morning when we share in your church, but when we leave that church building, we avoid the “M” word like the plague. For us to be able to connect with these backpackers, it is absolutely critical that we present the right image to them.

So, when we volunteered at the Shelter on the Lake, we were simply that – volunteers – and part of a team who is passionate about showing God’s love to travellers. To anyone who asked, we said that BJ is studying Intercultural Studies at a college in Chicago and we were on winter break and wanted to visit our friends at the Shelter and do some backpacking in the Andes. We also freely told our new friends that I’m a Jewish follower of Jesus and we both love to talk about our God – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – and celebrate the Jewish heritage of our faith. 100% true story. Just a critically different way of explaining it. And our public Facebook posts must reflect that story.

When we tell people that we want to open a guest house like the Shelter on the Lake, we tell them honestly that it is our passion to bless and serve travelers and show them the love of God and Jesus, His Son.
Pouring into other people – spiritually, mentally and emotionally – is an incredible and exhausting ride. I can’t think of anything I would rather do than this. It is crazy rewarding and uplifting to show the love of Jesus to people who often have only known hurt in His name, and to share with them things about their history, their Scriptures and their God that they often have never heard before. But pouring your soul out like that is exhausting. And it takes consistent committed time alone to rest and be refilled from God’s Word to keep going each day, even if you are going to the beach…

Kerstetter Chronicles: A Backpacker’s Christmas

I’ve never seen anything like it. Travelers from all over – France, Germany, Chile, Argentina and Israel – sat silently listening as BJ explained prophecy after prophecy from the Tanakh (Old Testament), and showed clearly how Jesus fulfilled each one.

Idan, an atheist Israeli guy who went climbing with us Christmas Eve, had retreated to the kitchen as if to show he wanted nothing to do with our Bible study; but it was easy to see he was listening intently through the window to all that BJ said.

His friend, Binyamin, who had reluctantly taken the Bible I offered him moments before, now followed along attentively, turning to each passage BJ read, and nodding as BJ spoke of the promise of Messiah.

I sat next to Binyamin, taking in the scene, and my eyes got teary as I thought, “This is it. I think I could spend every Christmas day just like this one.” How better to celebrate the birth of my Messiah than to tell my people about His coming and the peace and joy He has given me to overflowing? What better gift to give or receive than the joy of showing a Jewish friend that in following Yeshua I have not sacrificed an ounce of my Jewish identity, but instead I know my Messiah better and more personally because of my Jewish heritage not despite it.

It has been about one month now since that day, and I still tear up to think of the conversations we had following that study and the seeds that were planted.

BJ and I agree that this trip was everything we prayed it would be and so much more. Of course, more. God is so gracious! It was another sweet confirmation that this is truly the life and work to which God has called us.

But we won’t only remember that time through rose-colored lenses. There were definitely challenges and there will be many more. But they are challenges we will face joyfully, with the hope of introducing even one soul to Jesus our Messiah!

Your prayers and support of us make challenges easier and blessings sweeter as we feel the power and life of the body of Messiah working as one.

Thank you for making this work possible. We can’t wait to share the next steps with you!

Kerstetter Chronicles: January

“God always hated the Jews. It is incumbent upon all Christians to hate the Jews.”

– John Chrysostom, 349 – 407 A.D.

I know, it’s only one extreme statement from some old church father most people haven’t heard of. And it’s obviously ridiculous. It can’t possibly reflect the Church now. Right? Or wrong?

Through BJ’s Holocaust class last semester, among other things, BJ and I have been blown away by the deep roots of anti-Semitism in the Church, and more disturbingly, by its not-as-obvious but definite presence in the Church today. Yes, even in Bible-believing neighborhood churches in our United States. To see it clearly is a harsh wakeup call about the state of the Church; but we are thankful for that, because it’s made us more passionate than ever about being the love of Jesus to His beloved people who have been so often persecuted in His name.

And every time you make a donation for the work, or write to let us know that you are praying, or even click “Like” on our ministry posts on Facebook, we thank God for you. Because you are light in the darkness. You are watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem, (Isaiah 62:6).

And your light came with us on December 20^th when we arrived to Barioloche, Argentina! If only you could experience the beauty in this place. We’ve already been so blessed and learned so much through various interactions and conversations with ministry staff, volunteers and guests at the guest house here. So much of Jesus’ love is poured out to each guest, Jewish or Gentile, who walks through these doors.

There are so many incredible opportunities here to share the Gospel, but one of the most exciting has been when BJ had the privilege of teaching the Bible study at our Christmas-Shabbat (Sabbath) celebration. Thank you for praying for God to work through us. Several great conversations came out of it and we have no doubt that He will bless the sharing of His word! In two more weeks we start the next phase of our trip and survey potential ministry locations in Brazil, please continue to pray, especially that God will make His will for a location unmistakably clear! We look forward to sharing more stories and details with you soon!

Always praising God for your faithfulness,

BJ and Carissa Kerstetter

Kerstetter Chronicles: The Day I Felt at Home in An Orthodox Synagogue

You should have seen it! It was amazing to watch as children ran from all corners of the sanctuary to the center where the rabbi stood. As they ran, they sang out Hebrew words in unison as if they’d sung them a hundred times. They smiled and laughed and praised Adonai; and the congregation began to clap in tempo with their song. I couldn’t help but smile too, and it struck me that I felt at home. I felt like one of them.

I found myself thinking, it wasn’t strange for me to get up early for services, to sit in a wooden pew, or to read from a hard bound book for worship. The prayers were not unlike the ones I’ve prayed all my life. The readings were from Genesis, Deuteronomy and the Psalms. The verses were the same. They spoke of the same God that you and I know and worship.

The rabbi gave a message about knowing God and living for Him in our community. And it blew me away, because it was a message that you might have heard from the pulpit of your church. Of course, it was missing something.

Mixed emotions flooded my heart as I sat there. I’d never expected to feel so at home in an orthodox synagogue. But the feelings of familiarity and belonging made it all the more heartbreaking. I am one of them. We share the same heritage. We celebrate the same holidays, and cook the same recipes from our bubbes’ cookbooks. We worship the same God and read from the same Scriptures.

But I know that Messiah came. And they are still waiting.

My heart just ached as I sat listening to their sincere – and empty – prayers. And then God gently spoke to my heart, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

And I smiled to myself, because I can’t imagine anything more incredible than the honor of introducing even one Jewish brother or sister to Jesus, our Messiah.

But, “how shall they preach, except they be sent?” (Romans 10:14-15)

Send us. The need is now. Let us represent you to Jewish people in Chicago and Israelis in South America. You can be the reason they hear about Jesus.

This month we are so excited to do three weeks of evangelistic outreach to Israeli backpackers at a hostel in Argentina! We covet your prayers as we prepare for this intensive outreach. Please pray that God will equip us physically, mentally and spiritually, and prepare the hearts of the Israelis we will meet.

Thank you for making this outreach possible – for whatever part you have played on this team over the last year. Your generous gifts and dedicated prayer are the reason we can do what we do. And we are incredibly thankful for you!

Blessings on your holiday season and the end of your year!
