What’s our mission? The goal of the JCDC is to respectfully educate Jews and Christians about the countless faith-based connections that they have. This awareness is accomplished by relating the religious history of Jesus’ family, community and followers. His education, which prepared him to be a rabbi, also reflected his spiritual orientation. A second step in achieving this objective will be to offer original interpretations for many of the stories found in the Christian Bible. A third aim is to create new and inventive symbols, rituals and events which reflect the deep and abiding relationships that Jews and Christians could enjoy. Ultimately, our mission is to increase interfaith knowledge while simultaneously reducing anti-Semitism.
The process of achieving the above goals will be multi-dimensional.
** Our book series– we start with our foundational book, “A New Look at Rabbi Jesus: Jews and Christians Finally Reconnected,” which functions as our primary focus of study. This text will generate lectures, study-guides and public forums to be used by individuals and groups.
In addition, we offer a curriculum book, “The Life of Jewish Jesus: Twelve Lessons to connect Jews and Christians through interfaith learning” If you are coming our way through a mailer, you received Lesson 1 in your mailer. Looking for us to send you a copy of the first lesson, please email us.
We offer a Children Book Series- The Hanukkah Miracle, The Matzah that Saved Easter, The Flying Torah, Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah, Holy Food, Holy Wrap.
**A second approach will be the use of internet sources such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram to enlighten people around the globe about the numerous connections between Jews & Christians.
**A third level for goal accomplishment will involve a public-awareness campaign to spread the aspirations and thinking of the JCDC. This project will the creation of a substantial resource-database available for Christians of all denominations to utilize in educational settings.
**A fourth and future goal will be to create tours of Israel that reflect abiding connections which Jews and Christians share.
