For nesten 40 år siden, da Caspari-senteret ble opprettet, kunne fellesskapet av jødiske Jesus-troende sammenlignes med et lite barn som trengte det meste. I dag er situasjonen en helt annen. Barnet har vokst opp og trenger mindre støtte. Dette er

Tulokset julkaistiin kirjana Facts & Myths About the Messianic Congregations in Israel (Faktoja ja myyttejä messiaanisista seurakunnista Israelissa). Nyt kaksikymmentä vuotta myöhemmin liike on kasvanut huomattavasti. Jeesukseen uskovia juutalaisia on muuttanut Israeliin paljon etenkin entisen Neuvostoliiton alueelta, ja messiaaniset perheet ovat kasvaneet, mutta

Olen usein se ensimmäinen, jonka vierailijat näkevät astuessaan ovesta sisään.

Vaikka vanhempani olivat täysin juutalaisia, he eivät olleet tietoisia edes pääsiäisen merkityksestä, saati sitten vähäisemmistä juutalaisista juhlista. Neuvostoliitossa julkinen uskon tunnustaminen ei ollut sopivaa, ainakaan jos halusi saada työpaikan ja jonkinlaisen aseman yhteiskunnassa. Ennen Gorbatšovin perestroikan aikaa ainoa talven iso

Tarkoituksena on ottaa esiin niin sanottuja hankalia aiheita, joita seurakunnissa täällä vähemmän käsitellään. Järjestämme foorumit yhdessä diakoniajärjestö Machasen kanssa; heillä on sitä asiantuntemusta, mitä meiltä tällä alueella puuttuu. Ensimmäisen illan kuumottava teema oli perheväkivalta, joka on ollut viime aikoina melko paljon esillä israelilaisessa mediassa.

Suurin osa naapureistani on uskonnollisia juutalaisia – ei sitä mustiin pukeutuvaa, yhteiskunnasta eristäytyvää joukkoa, mutta ihmisiä, joiden päivittäistä elämää juutalainen traditio säätelee.

Kuka saa osallistua ehtoolliselle, kuka voi jakaa sitä ja millaisissa tilanteissa? Kuinka usein Herran ateriaa tulisi viettää? Kaikkein tärkein kysymys kuuluu: mikä ehtoollinen oikeastaan on? Mitä uskomme leivästä, viinistä ja yleensäkin ehtoollisen merkityksestä? Ihan ensiksi kuitenkin kysyn sinulta:

Kun sanelin numeroani, rabbi katsoi minua hämmästyneenä ja ihmetteli: ”Kuinka sait tuollaisen numeron?” Itse en ollut nähnyt siinä mitään erikoista; olin vain valinnut numerosarjan sillä perusteella, että se oli helppo muistaa.

Yksi näistä nimistä on JHWH eli Tetragrammaton. Septuagintassa, varhaisimmassa Vanhan testamentin kreikankielisessä käännöksessä, JHWH käännetään kyrios. Tämä sana on kuitenkin monimerkityksinen, ja se voi tarkoittaa myös yksinkertaisesti herraa. Uudessa testamentissa Jeesuksesta käytetään monessa yhteydessä nimeä kyrios, mutta

Niin hienolta kuin menestys tuntuukin, on vaarana, että ajaudumme toistamaan vuosi toisensa jälkeen samoja toimintamalleja ikään kuin automaattiohjauksella.

Entä kuinka tukea ihmistä, jonka läheinen on juuri tehnyt itsemurhan? Israelilaisessa yhteiskunnassa ihmishenki on mittaamattoman arvokas, mikä ei ole enää nykyään itsestään selvää.

Miten Jumala johdatti heidät pois? Raamatun mukaan Hän teki sen väkevällä kädellä ja ojennetulla käsivarrella (5. Moos. 4:34 KR38). Nykyajan lukijasta saattaa tuntua omituiselta, että Jumalasta sanotaan niin. Luemme

- [Passing Over](https://www.caspari.com/2012/05/01/passing-over/) - In Israel, Passover and the week of matzot (unleavened bread) is over, and the country is back to normal.

For Messianic youth in Israel, this is compounded by the fact that their peers, average Israeli teenagers, don't know much (if anything) about

For these people, the religions of the Far East have a strong power of attraction. Israelis (and Jews) can be found throughout the Far East, where they take part in
- [Jewish Belief In Israel](https://www.caspari.com/2012/08/17/jewish-belief-in-israel/) - Many surveys are conducted in Israel.

- [A Light to the Nations](https://www.caspari.com/2012/09/24/a-light-to-the-nations/) - Mission is a controversial concept in the Israeli context today, and prejudices flourish. Is it permissible to be a missionary in Israel or not? And even aside from legal matters, the word missionaryhas become a mocking description assigned to people who force their religion on others. Despite all this we, at the Caspari Center are

Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. My first encounter with Israel was such a profound experience. For the better, that is. As a young theology student, it affected me profoundly to read the stories of the

They were both able to cope with the new situation without many problems. Jerusalem and the temple were important to both groups, but the temple was not an essential, irreplaceable institution. It

This wonderful tradition was established years ago by
- [Why Israelis Go to Europe](https://www.caspari.com/2013/08/15/why-israelis-go-to-europe/) - For children’s ministers, summer is a hot season in every sense of the word. The Sea of Galilee is like a hot bath that neither refreshes nor energizes. The heat of the mid-July Mediterranean Sea welcomes not only humans but also jellyfish that mercilessly bite anyone who dares to disturb their calm and peace. The

These structures and the light-hearted festival atmosphere appear in time for Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles. This
- [The Messianic Movement in the U.S](https://www.caspari.com/2013/10/22/the-messianic-movement-in-the-u-s/) - It’s diverse. God is at work. And there are a variety of fringe characters clouding the edges of the picture. A person might use words like these if you asked him or her to paint a verbal portrait of Jewish believers at the end of the first century. Nineteen centuries later, I find myself reaching

The question, then, is how they will hear. Or, rather: How do we present the gospel in such a way that our audience will actually take it to heart? The above question is important for any communicator,
- [God’s Provision](https://www.caspari.com/2014/01/16/gods-provision/) - Many years ago, when my new life with the Bible in my hands had just started, I wanted to immediately learn and understand everything written in this book.

We boarded our plane and left Israel, our home for the past five years. Moving always brings mixed feelings: all the excitement and anxiety about the unknown future mixed with the good memories but also sorrows about the things
- [So, you came back alive!                ](https://www.caspari.com/2014/03/03/so-you-came-back-alive/) - My first encounter with Caspari Center was ten years ago, when I spent part of my summer vacation volunteering there.

I had experienced different aspects of Israel: spending time on a kibbutz, touring the country, and

How many times I have been asked this question during the last weeks. I do not know … but it always leaves me with a mixed feeling.

The dynamics among the supporters for Israel are changing rapidly. Jürgen Bühler, executive director of the International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem (ICEJ), gave a Caspari Center
- [The Reason for the Season](https://www.caspari.com/2014/05/29/the-reason-for-the-season/) - What are the Jewish holidays all about? The old joke has it this way: “They tried to destroy us; they failed; let’s eat.” Hanukah, Purim, and Passover fit this description perfectly well: they—the idolatrous Greeks, Haman, and Pharaoh with his army—did try to destroy us, each in their own time, place, and way. And
- [The Work of the Holy Spirit](https://www.caspari.com/2014/06/03/the-work-of-the-holy-spirit/) - As we approach the Feast of Shavuot, or Pentecost, I find myself once again asking these questions: What was God’s purpose in sending the Spirit? Do we have his power—the very same supernatural power that the early church received on that day? And if we do, how exactly does the Spirit manifest himself through the

Hearing about the vision of Caspari Center I immediately felt called to be a part of its great team in Jerusalem. I was introduced to a vision
- [Coming Home](https://www.caspari.com/2014/07/01/coming-home/) - The current condition of the State of Israel is nothing short of miraculous. One hundred years ago, this country was largely barren swamplands and deserts, with roughly 900,000 inhabitants, 9% of whom were Jews (according to Ottoman statistics studied by Justin McCarthy). Today, Israel’s cities are large, bustling, and growing bigger and bigger by the
- [How Do We Pray?](https://www.caspari.com/2014/07/16/how-do-we-pray/) - How do I pray? That is the question I asked myself when, together with the whole State of Israel, I was shocked and dismayed by the murder of four teenagers. I could hear gunshots, sirens, helicopters, and shouting from my bedroom. I knew I had to pray but didn’t know how. The Lord fulfills all

The biblical account clearly states that David did not build Jerusalem. Jerusalem most likely existed for centuries
- [Karl Barth and the Jews](https://www.caspari.com/2014/08/19/karl-barth-and-the-jews/) - Swiss Reformed theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) has been called many things. His views on Israel and the Jews have been considered everything from anti-Semitic to supportive of the Jewish people. I find his analysis of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism fascinating, which is why I chose it for my master’s thesis. Karl Barth’s theology
- [Corinthians in Today’s Israel](https://www.caspari.com/2014/09/03/corinthians-in-todays-israel/) - Corinth is not only a Greek polis mentioned in the New Testament, but also a modern city not far from its ancient predecessor’s location. But the people I am writing about are connected to the biblical Corinth much more than to the modern. I never thought of calling them so until I began my preparations
- [A Rosh Hashanah Prayer](https://www.caspari.com/2014/09/15/a-rosh-hashanah-prayer/) - Rosh Hashanah, which means “Head Of The Year”, begins at sundown on Wednesday, September 24th this year. God prescribes its observance in Leviticus 23:24-25: “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.

Standing before these ancient stones fills me with humility: Who am I in the big picture of history? About the pyramids in Egypt it is said, “Everything fears time, but time itself fears the pyramids.” I
- [Shall we replace you?](https://www.caspari.com/2014/10/20/shall-we-replace-you/) - So-called replacement theology—the church replacing the nation of Israel in the plan of God—has become a popular topic in many heated debates. The term has such a negative connotation that not many people will admit supporting it. Still, it has had a profound effect in the thinking of Christians, and since the first Christian centuries

Caspari received a good education first in a Jewish School and later in
- [What Language Did Jesus Speak?](https://www.caspari.com/2014/12/01/what-language-did-jesus-speak/) - The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Hebrew and Aramaic were the languages used for the Old Testament or Tanakh, and Greek for the New Testament. But what language did Jesus speak? Did he use Aramaic, as has been claimed by most scholars, or did he speak Hebrew? The question is

Therefore, the logic goes, these eight days could be considered merely joyous days for children, another vacation from school. Indeed, the memorable Chanukah-related events took place many years after the
- [Rediscovering Jesus the Jew](https://www.caspari.com/2015/01/01/rediscovering-jesus-the-jew/) - “Lectures that challenged, discussion that brought light, and excursions that put flesh on the bones.” This is one participant’s impression of the “Jesus the Jew: A Light to the Nations” missiology course held by the Caspari Center in November 2014. The course focused on Jesus, the Jewish light to the nations, through the concept of
- [Table Fellowship](https://www.caspari.com/2015/01/15/table-fellowship/) - At the Caspari Center, besides working hard we also share things often. The table is set at the office in many ways. Firstly, we share food. At the Caspari office we have an “international meal” once a year, just before Christmas and Hanukkah. Everyone is supposed to bring a small taste from their home country
- [“Are you pleased, Dad?”](https://www.caspari.com/2015/02/01/are-you-pleased-dad/) - Actually, the question was, “Are you pleased with my results, Dad?” Earlier that day David had heard my compliments on his last two English tests, but he obviously needed some extra reassurance. Well, he surely got it, but his question almost made me chuckle. My 13-year-old son had no way of knowing that at the
- [Tu BiShvat with No Tree Planting](https://www.caspari.com/2015/02/10/tu-bishvat-with-no-tree-planting/) - Thanks to the abundance of holidays on the Israeli calendar, I regularly find myself reflecting on the next one, always seeking some new perspective on it. Recently I noticed that I also ponder the holidays’ meaning in connection with the children’s lessons for Shabbat school. Probably all children’s teachers look at life through the prism

Modern media use many symbolic images to sell computers, cars, and even medicine, despite the fact that analytical specifications would be enough for consumers. Still, other things often need to be expressed as metaphors. For example, trees have notable roles in the Bible, starting with the Tree

Why doesn’t he just stop them? Mom, what would happen if a rocket hit our home? Mom, what if Ari’s dad has to go to the war? Could he die there? Can children also die? Mom, what if the siren goes off when you are outside?

- [Freedom in Service](https://www.caspari.com/2015/06/07/freedom-in-service/) - Someone told me recently that if you don’t know what to do next in life, find somewhere to serve. We are always called to serve God, to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling,” and to love our neighbor. And inevitably, we will be blessed in extraordinary abundance by he who called us to
- [The Duty and Joy of Service](https://www.caspari.com/2015/06/22/the-duty-and-joy-of-service/) - Ages ago, when man lived mainly off agriculture and cattle-breeding, and slavery was legitimate, a religious teacher told his followers: “Suppose one of you has a slave plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the slave when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t
- [Are We All Messianics?](https://www.caspari.com/2015/07/01/are-we-all-messianics/) - When I first moved to Israel, I learned very quickly to distinguish between two groups: “Notsrim” (Christians) and “Yehudim Meshichim” (Messianic Jews). Messianic Jews are Jews who believe in Yeshua/Jesus as the Messiah, but they avoid using the term “Notsrim” because the word has a negative connotation for them as Jews. In spite of sharing
- [One of "Those"...](https://www.caspari.com/2015/08/18/one-of-those/) - Living in Israel isn’t always easy, as those who have tried it can attest. For new-comers, moving to Israel requires an adjustment to the Middle-Eastern mindset, temperament, and ways of doing things. As in any new country, it requires adaptability, flexibility, and patience. You need to learn everything anew and it’s a very humbling experience. There
- [Being Prepared for the Front Line](https://www.caspari.com/2015/09/27/being-prepared-for-the-front-line/) - This summer Hamas published some videos from their youth camps in the Middle East. Only 100 kilometers from Jerusalem, they literally trained kids for battle. It was a very different kind of summer camp than people expect in the Western world. The boys were taught to jump through a burning wheel and to reload their

The note was in the lectionary that contains the texts that are to be read in churches on Sundays, and which
