Overview

Written to Messianic Jews in the first century, the Book of Hebrews, understood properly through Jewish eyes, edifies and encourages all. This epistle is one of the outstanding theological treatises in the New Testament. Hebrews Through a Hebrew's Eyes teaches the message of this important letter in a fresh, new way. Dr. Stuart Sacks, himself a Messianic Jew, offers insights into Hebrews that only a Jewish believer in Yeshua can give.

“Hebrews alone in the New Testament actually calls Yeshua (Jesus) our priest.” (Page 1)

“According to the Talmud, God will one day ask every Jew if he was diligent in setting aside a regular time for study.” (Page 8)

“No individual since the time of Melchizedek received God’s sanction to occupy both distinctly separate offices of king and priest.” (Page 54)

“No higher view of the Messiah is to be found anywhere in Scripture (1:3)” (Page 4)

“In the final analysis, the greatest of prophets could not effect a change in the hearts of his people. Moses could lead Israel out of Egypt; he could not accomplish a change in their basic tendency to spurn the Law of God.” (Page 28)

Endorsements

You don't have to be a Hebrew to understand Hebrews, but Stuart Sacks, a wise. . . pastor, surely helps us understand it. This revealing work is must reading for all who would know the priestly work of our Lord better.

About Messianic Jewish Publishers

In 1941, The United States is drawn into World War II. During that same year, Dr. Henry Einspruch publishes his classic book, The Yiddish New Testament, a breakthrough in evangelistic literature for Jewish people. Over the following decades, the publications of Lederer/Messianic Jewish Communications have been widely used to impact thousands of Jewish people with the Good News of Messiah. These books and tracts have been distributed in the Orthodox Jewish community, have been given out to Jews in the former Soviet Union, and have been used by Messianic congregations and Jewish outreaches all over the world. Messianic Jewish Publishers mission is two-pronged: Reaching out to Jewish people with the message of Messiah and teaching the non-Jewish spiritual family about their Jewish roots.
