Welcome to the inaugural episode of Links to Messiah, where faith, family, and the profound impact of the Jewish Messiah converge. Hi, I’m Rachel and was raised in a messianic Jewish home where my parents ensured that my sisters and I understood our Jewish roots and how the Old Testament all pointed directly to our Messiah, Jesus.

In this podcast, we will discuss the importance of passing down these true stories and traditions to future generations. I am aiming to teach children and families about the Jewishness of the Bible and its relevance today.

We will be exploring the Jewish roots of the Bible. We will discuss the significance of understanding feasts and festivals. We will highlight how these traditions are intricately linked to the narrative of the Jewish Messiah.

But this episode is more personal. Come along and hear how God touched our family before I was ever born. You will hear how my grandparents and father narrowly escaped the Nazis in 1939.
