Etz Hayim-"Tree of Life" exists to promote Christian-Jewish relations and dialogue, and a joint biblical, spiritual and liturgical self-consciousness and cooperation.

As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thes 1:9). With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word...

LAG BA'OMER

COUNTING THE OMER
SEFIRAT HAOMER

According to the Torah the days between Passover and Shavuot are to be counted (Lev. 23:15-16; Deut. 16:15-16). These 49 days of counting, which relate to the offering of an omer of barley, (called in Hebrew Sefirat Ha'Omer) are likened to a connecting thread between the Passover from Mitzrayim [Egypt] and the Giving of the Torah at Sinai.

PESACH SHEINI

Pesach Sheni, meaning 2 nd Passover, is a minor observance instituted for those who, because of reasons associated with the laws of ritual purity, were unable to celebrate Passover on 14 th Nisan. Celebrated on the 14 th day of Iyyar, Pesach Sheni is mentioned in the Torah [Num. 9:1-14] and makes allowance for those who being ritually impure could not participate in the Passover sacrifice of the lamb, Korban Pesach, and so were unable to fulfill the mitzvah [commandment] of Passover.

Those who study the Torah give forth light wherever they may be. It is like one standing in the dark with a lamp in his hand, as it says, Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path

Light of Torah offers education resources for grassroots Christian audiences, designed to foster a love for Torah and respect for the traditions of the Jewish people.

Considerable ground-breaking developments in Jewish-Christian relations have taken place over the past century, however these are not always well-known beyond specialist interfaith circles. Light of Torah offers accessible information for busy people and grassroots audiences. Its brief articles can readily equip a homilist speaking to a congregation, a school teacher guiding a class, or parents conversing with their children.
