This is a departure from our typical podcast. I had the opportunity to speak with Ron Davis, from The Jewish Road. He shares a fun and meaningful family tradition that they do as a family each year at Passover.

Listen in as you'll hear Ron teach us about the Afikomen, the piece of matzah that is hidden and later found during the Seder. The Afikomen tradition symbolizes the burial and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus). And it serves as a reminder of the Messiah's sacrifice and the hope of resurrection.
