Workshop theme: "A Jewish Savior: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith"

Conducted by: David Bivin.

Fluent in Hebrew, Bivin, a specialist in the Semitic and Jewish background of the New Testament, has lived in Israel for more than 40 years. He distills his years of study into two days (fourteen hours) of interactive study. No previous preparation is required. The workshop is designed for ordinary followers of Jesus.

Topics to be discussed: "How do I join Mary at the feet of Jesus"; "Why did Jesus come as a Jewish rabbi?"; "How does understanding Jesus' technique of `stringing pearls' enable us to better understand his message?"; "How do I follow Rabbi Jesus?"; "Haverim and why I need some"; "How did Jesus and his disciples pray?"; "How `blessing' God saturates our lives with prayer"; "Understanding the symbols and liturgy of Passover"; "How to discovery Jesus in the Jewish festivals"; "Table fellowship: dining with God and man"; "Understanding the Jewish attitude to law and the goal of Torah"; "The mysterious Kingdom of Heaven;" "Becoming true disciples of our Jewish Lord."
