Do you wish you knew more about the Jewish background of Scripture? Are you curious about the ways that the Christian faith connects to its roots in Jewish history and culture? This fall, Bible Gateway invites you to join us for a free two-week devotional experience that explores the Jewish roots of Christianity: Holy Land Moments.

Holy Land Moments is a daily devotional that offers a short reflection on Scripture written by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, with additional insight from Jewish teachers and thinkers. Each reading also includes a Hebrew Word of the Day (with an audio pronunciation). It’s written to bring a new historical and cultural perspective to familiar Bible texts.

Earlier this year, we offered a Holy Land Moments devotional experience centered around Passover. It was very well-received, so we’re timing this second Holy Land Moments devotional (with all new daily readings) to coincide with the Jewish “High Holy Days”—a period of time that encompasses the major Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These “Days of Awe” are fundamental to the Jewish faith, commemorating the Jewish New Year and the Day of Atonement; and with their basis in the Old Testament, they hold significance for Christians today as well.

Click here to sign up for Holy Land Moments. Holy Land Moments starts September 29 and continues for two weeks through the High Holy Days. If you’re interested in the Jewish roots of Christianity, or are just looking for something slightly different in your devotional reading, this is a perfect chance to try something new! Sign up today, and share it with your interested friends!
