To produce a second issue of Shabbat Shalom on peace is a symbolic gesture. It means that peace has not yet been achieved; it also means that we have not abandoned hope. Debating about peace has never been so needed and so relevant. And beyond the local and violent tension in the Middle East we may even wonder about other programs of peace. For the "impossible" peace between Jews and Arabs stands out like a paradigm that would speak about peace between the nations of the world, peace between religions, and even peace in the family or in my neighborhood. How can we achieve peace? And what about spiritual peace, the peace with God and the inner peace that brings harmony and balance within ourselves? The dove seems always to escape from our feverish hands. |
Shabbat Shalom Archives
Issues include Hebrew Roots; Bible Study; Archaeology; and Recent Books. Significant and vital themes such as Hope, The Holocaust, Humor of God, Israel and the Church. |
Shema Israel
As indicated in the title, this Bible course is designed for Jews (religious Jews as well as liberal Jews and even secular Jews) who wish to know better the biblical truth and thus discover or know better their God, the God of Isreael who revealed himself to the Hebrew prophets. |

“Should we observe the Festivals?”, Special offer “Should we observe the Festivals?” Nowadays this question is hotly debated among some Seventh-day Adventists who are eager to keep all the laws of God as well as among other Christians who wish to recover their Jewish roots. To that question, Dr. Doukhan gives a direct and clear although not an easy answer. This pamphlet not only addresses some confusion surrounding the Christian practice of the festivals but also clarifies the significance of their relationship with the Sabbath and the New Moon. Furthermore, this study will relieve the tensions generated by the theological discussion and inspire instead lessons of Joy, Hope, and Peace. |
