Here are our e-Materials new for Passover / Pesach 2011
Passover Guide and Journal – 2011
This is the first year in a long time that Hatikva Ministries will not be hosting a community Passover Seder. While deliberating the decision, it was determined that we wanted our local participants to be enriched during the season and we wanted to encourage them to broaden their Passover celebrations. With that in mind, we produced a small booklet, “Passover 2011 Guide –A Journal and Handbook” for our local group. It includes some suggestions for preparation, menus, craft ideas, and a few recipes. We liked the idea so much that we decided to offer the book to the greater Hatikva audience as a low-cost e-book. Keep in mind that this handbook is a work in progress, so if you have some ideas generated from this booklet, or if you try something that works well, perhaps you could share it with us and it might appear in a future representation!
In addition, recently Joe taught a Chavurah session on the role of the ‘sent one’ in the first and second redemption, comparing Exodus 3 and John 6-7. Darryl, our friend and former employee, told us that it was like sitting in the company of rabbis discussing the intricacies of Passover. We would also like to make this available to you in an MP3 audio format.
Both the Guide and audio file (1.5 hours of Joe teaching) are available for download for a $10.00 donation.

The 613 Commandments
There are 613 commandments in the Torah, the 5 books of Moses. These 613 commandments list what is required, permitted, and forbidden by G-d, and range from activity of the lay person in every day life to the strict procedures followed by the High Priest. Although the 613 commandments are often codified, or divided, into positive and negative or subject content, this particular representation lists the commandments in the order they appear in scripture.
