Updates & Announcements

The Vine of David Haggadah

With joy and gratitude to HaShem, we are pleased to announce two new and exciting books, to be available within the coming weeks.

The Vine of David Haggadah: A Messianic Jewish Passover Seder

The Vine of David Haggadah is a guide to the Passover seder for disciples of Yeshua. This book sets a new standard for Messianic Haggadot, both in terms of production quality and content.

Because of these unique features, it will be able to fulfill a special role for the Messianic Jewish community:

Clear and Accessible.

• Lucid translation makes the plain meaning of the text readily understandable.
• Clean design makes the literary structure visible to the reader and easy to follow.
• Helpful notes clarify anything that might be obscure or confusing to the reader.
• The extensive use of Scripture is highlighted.
• Transliteration (Hebrew text in English letters) at key points helps people who wish to recite blessings in Hebrew.
• English translations of songs allow them to be sung in English.
• Hebrew terms are explained in a glossary.

Comprehensive and Authentic.

• Contains the complete traditional seder in both English and Hebrew.
• Creates an authentic atmosphere, respectful to the customs and history of Israel.
• Fulfills the Torah commandment to teach our children about the redemption from Egypt.
• Having the complete text at hand gives the leader of the seder full control to adapt the experience to the needs of the participants.

Yeshua-Focused.

• Places a clear emphasis on following his directive to remember and memorialize him.
• Guides the participants in retelling his words and imitating his actions at that last night before his death.
• Incorporates passages from the Apostolic Scriptures and other ancient writings seamlessly and sensitively into the text.

Breathtaking in Appearance.

• Takes the creative and skilled design work First Fruits and Vine of David are known for to a new level.
• Bold typography and innovative artwork enhance the reader's sense of celebration and joy.
• Elegant, flowing, and graceful design capture and convey the holiness of Passover night.
• Truly professional artwork, layout, printing, and binding brings honor to God, to his appointed time, to our Master, and to Messianic Judaism.

The Vine of David Meal of Messiah: The Wedding Supper of the Lamb

The Haggadah's companion, The Vine of David Meal of Messiah, is a resource like no other. On the final day of Passover, which commemorates the crossing of the Red Sea, Chassidic Jews have a custom to end the season of redemption with an additional, less formal seder. Called Se'udat Mashiach, this event focuses on the ultimate redemption and the messianic banquet that will take place in the future.

• Anticipates the return of our master Yeshua and the messianic era.
• Contains songs and prayers, a meal with four cups, and readings from the Tanach, the Apostolic Writings, Midrash, and other traditional sources.

This is a completely unique Messianic resource that provides an intensely meaningful and genuine experience, whetting the appetites of those who long for the day of his coming.

On Passover we are commanded to "tell our children on that day."

Passover reminds us of our duty to pass on our heritage—both the heritage of Torah and Yeshua—to the next generation. This can only be done by providing a meaningful and authentic experience that leaves an enduring impression in the minds, hearts, and souls of our children. By enabling us to accomplish this task, these new Vine of David resources are of great value.
