Rosh Chodesh Adar I Newsletter 5779

Submitted by BI Staff on Wed, 02/06/2019 - 5:17pm

Chodesh Tov!

“Mishenichnas Adar, marbim besimchah!” means, “When Adar arrives, we increase our joy!”

This year the increase in joy will be doubled because we are celebrating two months of Adar instead of one. Once every few years, the Jewish calendar adds a thirteenth month, an extra month of Adar, and that’s the situation this year. So don’t just be happy, be twice as happy.

Escape from Nazi Demons

Join us Wednesday February 13 at 7:30 PM for the Hudson premiere of a new documentary from First Fruits of Zion, Escape from Nazi Demons, starring some local talent! You can watch the trailer here.

Werner Oder, the son of an Austrian Nazi war criminal, was raised on anti-Semitism and hatred for Jews. He was lost in spiritual darkness and plagued by demons from his childhood. Escape from Nazi Demons tells the story of his terrifying battle with the other side and his redemptive escape from demonic powers. Be inspired by the electrifying story of the power of hope in the name of Yeshua. This is a story of redemption, a story about hope for the Jewish people, a story of one man’s transformation from anti-Semitism to Messianic Zionism and faith in the true Messiah of Israel.
