How can your community open the lines of communication, understanding, love and respect so that God's truth can be shared with Jewish friends and neighbors?

Invite your congregation to join Mark Mittelberg for the exciting new CCN series: Exploring Religions.

In this first program, Mark will be joined by two Messianic Jewish guests, Dr. Rydelnik and Ari Goldberg, for the important broadcast, Exploring Judaism.

Dr. Michael Rydelnik, the son of Holocaust survivors and professor of Jewish Studies at Moody Bible Institute, will help Christians gain a more complete understanding of the range of beliefs held by their Jewish friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

Both Dr. Rydelnik and Ari Goldberg will share very personal and fascinating testimonies of redemption and life-change.

This broadcast will help Christians in two significant ways:

• Your congregation will learn natural and sensitive ways to overcome tensions and barriers from the past.
• Your community will learn the best ways to communicate their faith with Jewish people: including who Jesus is, and why Christians believe he is the Messiah for all people.

This seminar will help your entire congregation grow in love, respect and a deeper understanding of how to reach out to God's very special, chosen people.
