In this episode, Ron and Matt Davis interview David Hoffbrand about his book, '52 Sabbaths: Unwrapping the Gift of God's Rest.' They discuss the importance of the Sabbath, its significance in the Bible, and its relevance in modern life. David explains that the Sabbath is not just about rest but also about restoring relationships and finding wholeness. He emphasizes the need to prioritize family and invest in faith and trust. The book provides 52 reflections on different aspects of the Sabbath, helping readers understand and apply its principles in their lives.

Continuing our dialogue with David Hoffbrand, Episode 90, titled "Why The Israel Story Isn't Resonating With This Generation," shifts the focus to the present and future of Israel's narrative.

We look into the complex reasons behind the growing disconnection between modern global Christians and Israel, including:

• Exploring the reasons behind the church's indifference or even opposition to Israel.

• Examining the impact of replacement theology and anti-Semitism.

• Understanding the cultural shift in post-Christian England.

This candid conversation seeks to understand God's unwavering heart for Israel amidst a generation that often seems at best indifferent, and at worst, hostile. David's insight into the issue is profound, highlighting the critical need for dialogue and education on the historical and spiritual significance of Israel.

The truth is, miss out on the fact that Jesus is Jewish and you’re missing out on Jesus. You could go to church every Sunday, read your Bible everyday, and even lead a Bible study, and unless you look at Jesus in His Jewish context, you're missing something.

In this episode of The Jewish Road podcast, we're joined by David Hoffbrand, author, church leader, and musician from Brighton, England, to discuss his thoughtful book, "The Jewish Jesus - Reconnecting With The Truth About Jesus, Israel, & The Church." It should provoke some thoughtful questions:

• What does it mean for our Christian faith that Jesus was Jewish?

• How can we truly bridge the Old and New Testaments?

• What would it look like to know Jesus as His first disciples did?
