No Hanukkah, No Christmas PDF Print E-mail

Shalom and greetings from the worldwide headquarters of Chosen People Ministries! Manhattan looks so beautiful at this time of the year. The enormous Christmas tree now lights up Rockefeller Center, and Radio City Music Hall is featuring its annual Christmas show. Holiday lights shine like jewels throughout the city, especially along Park Avenue.

Of course, your Mission to the Jewish people is busy sharing the real reason for the season with thousands of people in what is truly the "Jewish capital of America."

Despite the holiday cheer, we know that many of those who are captivated by the excessive material trappings of this wonderful season simply do not understand God's true purpose for the Incarnation. The Devil has twisted the loving message of an all-powerful God who set aside His power and humbled Himself by becoming a servant. How far we have drifted from worshiping the One who was humbly born to die that sinners like you and me might live!

There is much to straighten out about the Christmas holiday!

Zhava's Passover Tzimmes

  • 1 lb carrots
  • 5 sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Tzimmes is a wonderfully sweet, delicious vegetable dish served at Passover. It's such a mushy mixture of tastes that it has come to be an expression in the Jewish vocabulary, as in "Oy, don't make such a tzimmes, sweetheart!" (meaning don't mix things up and make them such a big deal!).

Frequently Asked Questions About Passover PDF Print E-mail

1. How is the timing of Passover calculated? Why does Passover sometimes fall after Easter?

The two holidays are based on two different calendars. Easter is based on the solar calendar, the calendar commonly used today. In Western churches, Easter is dated as the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. It therefore occurs somewhere between March 22 and April 25. Eastern Orthodox churches have a different approach based on the lunar calendar.
