 | Needs greater depth Jan 6, 2007 |
| I enjoyed this book, but it was not as detail as I would have liked. The portion on Pesach during the 2nd temple period was facinating. | | |  | Stumbling Block - Gross Simplifications, Distortions Sep 26, 2006 |
The Rosens' book does discuss some of the rituals of the Passover Seder, however, their description of Jewish law and the meanings behind the symbols are at best a gross simplification and at worse completely off-target, which I attribute to the disparity between Jewish and Christian theology. One glaring example is a discussion found on pages 51 and 84 - the Rosens contend that the wine of the Passover Seder `... graphically represent[s] the blood of the Passover lamb ...' based off their reading of Pesakhim 7:13 (Pesakhim is a tractate of codified Jewish Law which describes the laws of Passover) and other unnamed `ancient commentaries' and thus connect it to the wine of the Eucharist. However, the verse they reference in Pesakhim does not exist, and this concept is anathema to Judaism which proscribes the consuming of life-blood in any measure.
Other discussion in their work also falls short of describing Jewish understanding, as brief examples, I would cite the following:
- The leaven is not necessarily a representation of sin, but of preoccupation in the material world. The three matzot do not connote the Trinity (p 70, 76, etc), but rather the three stages of liberation from Egypt - freedom from slavery, the splitting of the Reed Sea, and the journey through the wilderness. The translations of verses from Isaiah 53 and Zechariah 12 (p 70, 86) are wrong and out of context, and the related discussion of `striping' on the matzot (p 70) does not apply.
- The description of the preparation of the Paschal sacrifice beginning on page 25 is inaccurate. The offering is unblemished as is every other offering, but was not brought into the household for adoration. The Paschal sacrifice is by no means a redemption from sin (`G-d's holiness demands that He judge sin, and the price is costly indeed', p 26) but rather recognition of G-d's sovereignty.
- The discussion of the blessings on the fourth cup of wine is misleading; the concept of the Divine Messiah and Savior and the Second Coming are Christian concepts, the Melekh haMoshiakh of Judaism is wholly human and there is no indication of a Second Coming in Jewish Scripture.
- The description of the kittel on page 73 is fairly accurate, but the `crown' or `mitre' discussed on pages 73-75 (to denote the `leader of the feast' as king and religious leader) is a distortion of a mitre worn by Reform Judaism cantors in synagogue worship. Actual Jewish practice is that at Passover we are all `kings and free men', and we are all enjoined to participate and lead discussion during the Seder.
- The liturgy of the Sephardic Seder discussed on page 91 does not include symbolism relating to `perfect, sinless life' of the Messiah and sacrificial death related to the Paschal lamb as presented. The discussion on page 82 regarding the afikomen goes astray when it brings in the verse from Luke 22:19 `This is My body ...'
In my opinion, the Rosens are not qualified to address many of the examples they give in their book; although Judaism encourages inspection and analysis to foster understanding by the individual, I think the Rosens' discussion is misguided with the preconceived notion of reconciling the Jewish themes of Passover with Christian theology. Presenting this book as an application of what they consider `Orthodox Jew[ish]' learning is, by any measure, a stumbling block.
| | |  | Great at explaining God's purpose for the Jewish People Aug 30, 2006 |
| I found this book to be both informative and inspirational. In addition, it was an extremely easy read. It does a great job of explaining the history of the Jewish people from a theological perspective, as it relates to the important role that they play in God's plan of salvation for all of mankind. If you are Jewish, you difinitely want to buy this book. If you are a Gentile Christian, it gives you a great introduction to the Jewish roots of your faith. I highly recommend it. | | | | This is an insult May 7, 2006 |
this site.com is sending an e-mail promoting this book to people who purchased the New York Times Passover Cookbook. This is an insult to most of those people, who would be Jewish. You should show more consideration than that. You are effectively promoting to Jews a book which seeks to convert them to Christianity. Is that something this site.com should be doing.
Shame on you. | | | | First for the Jew, then for the Gentile" Romans 1:16 May 6, 2006 |
| It is always so uplifting to read from God's chosen people who have seen the light of Christ. What is troubling however is those who use this review section for their own agenda. I read with interest the other reviews (or are they really reviewers?) who like to spread their Hate for the Christian faith. Such is evidenced by comments such as accusing Chirstians of " sharing their warped values and fuzzyheaded logic". Why would one with such hatred read such a deeply religious Judeo-Christian book? They are using this Forum to attempt to spread hatred - "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold". | | | Write your own review about Christ in the Passover
