Question for the Christians (respectful)

Yes, it’s easy to forget that the historical Jesus Christ was born a Jew and lived as a Jew. In fact, it was only after his death that his followers grouped themselves into something that they decided was a new religion.

Not unlike the case of the historical Siddharta Gatuma/the Budda, who was born a high-caste Hindu and who, throughout his life, was trying to reform certain excessive practices, not start a new religion.

In prayer yes, but there are many practices that were given to Abraham that were to be specific celebrations ment to bring a better understanding of G-d.

I agree with you and there seems to be a move among the more orthodox Christians to reach back into our Jewish roots and begin to acknowledge some of those celebrations. Since they all point directly to the Messiah, they are very relevant to our faith as well and it has been very enriching to begin to study them. We hold a Bible study in our home and this is one of our main areas of interest. The main problem we have is that we don’t know any Jewish people who are religious enough to guide us in our understanding of the holy days so we have to go with what we get from books. This is very difficult.
