And let us at this time reflect on the good that Judaism and Christianity have brought to the world. Even though the faiths differ in fundamental understanding of the Divine, Christianity shares much with Judaism: the desire to be a light to all nations, respect for life, and love for God. Let this be a time of renewal and dedication to that.

There are those who call themselves Christians, who are not. There are those who call themselves Jews, who are not.

Israel and the U.S., are known as Jewish and Christian nations respectively but our godless laws and godless behavior say otherwise.

"Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God. - Rabbi Saul of Tarsus aka the apostle Paul - writing in his epistle to the Romans 2:17-28

Let us pray that Jew and Gentile come to the knowledge of the Truth and walk in Him.

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to theFather bur through Me." - Yeshua ha Mashiach
