NEW for Passover
A JewishEyes Study Haggadah

Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
Stacks Image 4629340
Each year on Passover, Jews around the world re-enact the experience of the ancient Israelites in Egypt, and envision ourselves embarking on our own Exodus. The ceremonial meal known as the Pesach seder contains many symbolic foods and customs which help us to put ourselves in the shoes of our forefathers and experience the Exodus night for ourselves.

But in many communities today, we also remember something else. We look back to a seder meal that took place 2,000 years ago, which a rabbi named Y’shua from the town of Ne’tzeres held with His twelve closest students in Jerusalem, in one of His last acts before His death. At that time, He told them, “I have greatly longed to eat this Pesach with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15). He told them that the various parts of the seder represented the sacrifice He was about to undergo, and He instructed that every Pesach celebration thereafter should have an additional meaning: “Do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19). Just as the sacrifice of the Pesach-lamb was the means of our being freed from Egypt, the sacrifice of the Messiah was the means of our being freed from the slavery of sin.

Read along with us as we retell the ancient tale once again, seeking to see it from a fresh perspective and gain a more full understanding of the Festival of our Freedom.

Chapter One - Abraham

Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
Many people look at Abraham’s life as a model of faith. After all, this is the man about whom it is recorded, “And he had faith in Hashem, and He accounted it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:8).  Additionally, Abraham is held up as the paragon of obedience and submission to the will of G-d, not even withholding his only son from the altar when G-d asked him to offer him up.


    And yet, there are incidents in his life which seem to contradict such a picture of perfect faith and obedience…

•  Didn't he leave the Promised Land due to fear, after G-d brought him there?
•  Didn't he lie out of fear?
•  Didn't he risk his wife’s honor in Egypt and among the Philistines to ensure his own safety?
•  Didn't he profit from his wife’s ordeal?
•  Didn't he try to achieve G-d's promise by human means with Hagar and Ishmael, instead of waiting for G-d to fulfill His promise?
•  Didn't he at one time express doubt by asking G-d to prove Himself?

How do we plead?  Not guilty on all counts.

Chapter Two - Jacob: Unmasking the True Trickster

Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
Perhaps none of our nation's founding fathers have been so misunderstood as Jacob. Of all the Patriarchs, he is by far the most disliked, scorned and even hated. After all, didn't he trick his brother out of his birthright, deceive his father into giving him a blessing, and cheat his uncle to get his flocks? Or did he do any of those things after all?


When Jewish commentators say that Jacob was a man of Truth, and they call him the "Unblemished One", are they wrong or are they in agreement with the Bible? In this chapter, we go through the events of Jacob's early life carefully to find out the truth.

• Did Jacob trick his brother into selling his birthright?
• Did he take advantage of his brother's hunger?
• Did he steal his brother's blessing?
• Did he plot to deceive his father in order to gain something from him?
• Did he try to accomplish the promises of G-d through human means?
• What is G-d's description of Jacob's character?

Chapter Three - Jacob: The Schemes of Laban

Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
Having followed Jacob through his receiving of the Abrahamic birthright and the associated blessings, we now turn to his years of exile: his sojourn in the country of Aram with his uncle Laban. How well did Jacob succeed in matching wits with the master schemer?


• Was Laban's trickery of Jacob some kind of Divine revenge for Jacob tricking Isaac?
• Did Jacob cheat his father-in-law out of his flocks?
• What was the purpose of putting peeled rods in the watering-troughs?
• Did Jacob wrong Laban by returning home without telling him?
• Was Jacob's fear of Esau's anger justified, or was it paranoia brought on by a guilty conscience?
• Was the wrestling match with the angel a symbol that Jacob was 'fighting G-d'?

To find out the answers to these and other questions, download chapter three of this series to learn more about Jacob's life and character, and to uncover yet more foreshadowings of the Messiah.

Many people read the Gospels and believe that they understand them fairly well. However, our estimate is that most western Bible students grasp only 30% of what the biblical record contains, due to limitations in their exposure to the Jewish culture.

In an exciting series of lessons stretching over a year, our teacher reveals "the rest of the story" and explains many amazing insights about the words, activities, customs and traditions of those who lived during the time of the gospels which can only be understood within a Jewish framework.

Passage by passage, we systematically address the cultural and traditional events and activities of the Gospels, and bring amazing new understanding to your study in each lesson.

Part 1: The Macrocosm - Astrophysical Evidence

Part one of a three-part series which presents empirical evidence for intelligent design. Boldly goes where few secular scientists have been willing to go before.


In generations past, the emerging scientific community challenged centuries of previously held beliefs because newer evidence outweighed earlier information. However, with the advent of more precise scientific instrumentation and the rapid pace of discoveries in our modern world, evidence is arising which seems to point toward intelligent design, by "an intelligence of such superiority, that compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.” (Albert Einstein).

Today, many scientists have abandoned their most basic calling: to examine all empirical data without prejudice toward any one position and to present their findings for critical analysis by their peers and by the public.

One possible explanation for this wholesale defection of the scientific community toward an evolutionary model is one of moral convenience. If there was a G-d who created the universe, then it would challenge the moral neutrality and philosophical underpinnings of evolution. By consequence, man would be accountable for his actions to his Creator and, unlike an animal, would not simply be subject to his instincts and base desires, but as a created being, would necessarily be required to change his conduct in order to be in harmony with and subjected to Him.

We challenge people to be brutally honest about the data. We ask them to consider, without prejudice, the newest information presented regarding the origins of mankind and the universe in which he lives.

There is a growing hunger among Christians to know from whence they came... to learn of their Jewish roots (Romans 11:17, 18) and to look at the Bible “through Jewish eyes” to add richness (Romans 11:12) to their understanding and to their lives.

This audio series will provide you with the tools to understand your own beliefs in a far more profound way than ever before. A growing number of pastors and teachers are drawing upon this valuable resource so that they may be better equipped to “rightly divide the Word of truth.”(2 Timothy 2:15).

Messianic Views of the Jewish Sages
Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
Many people have an opinion about the Messiah. This year long study examines each section of Moses’ writings from the point of view of the sages who lived in ancient and more recent times. What did these scholars find in the pages of the Scriptures that would reveal G-d’s plan for the messianic kingdom?

This fascinating study compares the Midrash Rabbah, Targums, Mishnah, Gemarah and other ancient Jewish commentaries on the Bible in order to discover how G-d chose to reveal the identity of King Messiah with startling clarity using the customs and traditions of those who lived in the Second Temple era.

Can a person get wrong ideas about what G-d is like, just because they don't know where a town is located on a map?

Are there things in an English translation of the Bible which cannot be understood by the English-speaking reader, just because they are no longer written, read or understood in Hebrew?

Does it matter if you are not acquainted with the traditions or culture of ancient or modern day orthodox Jews?

In the stories about Y'shua (Jesus), have you ever wondered:
  • Why angels appeared in the sky to announce His birth?
  • Why Y'shua put spit on his fingers when healing a sick man?
  • What was the real reason for turning water into wine?
  • How Good Friday until Sunday morning do not equal 3 days and 3 nights?
Properly understanding your Bible is dependent upon you knowing something of the language, history, geography, culture and traditions of the Jewish people. Without these tools, a reader grasps only a tiny fraction of what the Author intended them to realize.

Shadows of the Messiah
Copyright © John Smith, All Rights Reserved.
A continuing study which seeks to understand the messianic shadows and types found in the Torah of Moses.

The Torah is filled with wonder, excitement and anticipation of a future when mankind would be permanently reconciled to his Creator.  No sacrifice or ritual instructed by G-d was intended to be a permanent solution to sinful individuals or nations. No careful adherence to the precepts of G-d would undo what damage mankind had done... only G-d Himself could nullify man’s rebellious actions and transform our sinful lives.
A follow up to the “Finding Y’shua in the Torah” series, this year long study reveals even more about G-d’s careful concealing and later revealing of the Messiah and all that He would accomplish on behalf of mankind’s redemption.  Watch the pages come alive with new meaning and depth as you learn how each law, each story, each verse and chapter of the Torah is a description of the very character and nature of the Messiah.  

"[G-d's teachings] are a shadow of coming things, and the shadow-caster is Messiah." (Colossians 2:16)

In the Gospels of Mark and John, it is recorded that Y’shua (Jesus) healed men by placing his spittle onto their eyes, ears and tongue.

Couldn’t Y’shua have simply spoken or reached out His hand to bring about the healing of these men? If so, why did He choose this method? Was there a hidden message in what Y’shua did? Learn the exciting answer here!

Never losing the emphasis on the Messianic character of the Torah, each year’s study reveals deeper and more significant insights into His person, His work and His words. Departing from a surface examination, more attention this year is paid to the Messiah’s adherence to and fulfillment of the Torah.

However, with a greater revelation of the character of G-d, comes the added responsibility of adapting our own lives in order to live His way. “Be holy, because I am holy” is a refrain often repeated throughout the pages of the Torah and our challenge is to constantly measure ourselves by comparing our conduct with His character, His nature and His ways.
