Judaism

Chazzan Gerry Schechter, the Cantor at the welcoming community of Congregation Or Tikvah, along with President Barbara Weiss, give an informative and enjoyable presentation on the elements of Jewish faith and answer some basic questions about Judaism. As the Hebrew People are the forebearers of our Christian faith, this presentation allows us to better understand many of the things we celebrate as Catholic Christians, especially our celebration of the Eucharist in relation to the Jewish Temple rituals, the 3 year cycle of the lectionary, and reverence for God's inspired word.
