FROM THE COVER: The inscription ב״הis an acronym in Hebrew that stands for Be’ezrat HaShem ()בעזרת השם, which means “With God’s help.” It serves as a reminder that we are dependent upon God for everything we do, and that all must be done for his sake and his glory. 2 ORDER SECURELY ONLINE: FFOZ.ORG / STORE Shalom! Are you a disciple of Yeshua? You’ve probably heard he atoned for our sins, but there is more! However, it might not be what you’ve heard before. The Christianity of the New Testament wasn’t the Christianity we know today, it was a sect of Judaism. Today we call it “Messianic Judaism.” “MESSIANIC JUDAISM” IS “JUDAISM” + “JESUS” The whole Bible was written by Jewish disciples who never set foot in a “church.” (There weren’t any churches in those days.) Yeshua and his disciples were Jewish and practiced Judaism. If you don’t understand the Jewish foundations of Christianity, you won’t understand the Bible, and you’ll miss out on a big part of your heritage as a disciple of the Master. We at First Fruits of Zion are on a mission to restore an understanding of the original faith and practice of the apostles and the first followers of Jesus of Nazareth. We are educators in the Jewish Roots of Christianity. Our specific mission is: Messianic Jewish teaching for Christians and Jews. Our resources will help you to: Know Jesus Better Make Sense out of the Bible Transform Your Walk with God This catalog is your passport to a whole new world. The fact that you are reading these words probably indicates that God’s Spirit is calling you to come up higher, dig in deeper, and connect with your Jewish roots. After almost two thousand years, Jewish people are also beginning to reconsider Jesus, and many are meeting him as the Messiah of Israel. Christians are rediscovering their relationship to Israel and the Jewish people. God is on the move, and the wheels of biblical prophecy have begun to turn again. This is a promise of what is to come. What are you waiting for? It’s time to start learning. A whole new world awaits you.

Most of his conflicts with Jewish religious leaders concerned the observance of the Sabbath. But when Jesus is seen as an observant Jew who “did not come to abolish the Law” (Matthew 5:17), how can his Sabbath conflicts be reconciled? D.

First Fruits of Zion has several carefully selected Hebrew and English Bibles to get you started. Hebrew Bible The Hebrew Bible is a unique reference tool for studying the Scriptures in their original linguistic and cultural context. It combines in one helpful resource both an all-Hebrew version of the Tanach (Old Testament) and a Hebrew translation of the Apostolic Scriptures (New Testament). The Hebrew text is that of Christian David Ginsburg (1894), a Jewish believer and eminent Hebrew scholar, compiled from the Masoretic Text (Rabbinic Bible). The Hebrew translation of the Apostolic Scriptures is Franz Delitzsch’s 1878 translation from the Greek Textus Receptus. $20 | 2381 | Book (Hardcover, 548 pages) | Hebrew text only A Reader’s Hebrew Bible Once you are able to read Hebrew, this is the Bible to use to build your biblical Hebrew vocabulary. It is ideal for Hebrew students. A Reader’s Hebrew Bible saves time and effort in studying the Hebrew. By eliminating the need to look up definitions, the footnotes allow the user to read the Hebrew and Aramaic text more quickly, focusing on parsing and grammatical issues. Contains unique footnoted definitions (in English) of all Hebrew words occurring one hundred times or less. $42 | 2383 | Book (Italian Duo-Tone Cover, 1,680 pages) | Hebrew text, English definitions Hebrew New Testament German Hebraist Franz Delitzsch captured the true underlying Hebraic essence of the Apostolic Scriptures in this Hebrew translation that he produced in 1878. With the assistance of Jewish believers, such as Yechiel Lichtenstein, Delitzsch sought to render the Greek literally, as well as utilize Mishnaic Hebrew, closer to the Hebrew spoken by the Master and the apostles. One of the foremost Hebrew translations of the Apostolic Scriptures. $8 | 2382 | Book (Hardcover, 544 pages) | Hebrew text only 12 ORDER SECURELY ONLINE: FFOZ.ORG / STORE The Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels THE FOUR GOSPELS IN HEBREW AND ENGLISH The Delitzsch Hebrew Gospels has been conceptualized and designed to give students of the Gospels an opportunity to study the words and teachings of Yeshua of Netzeret in their historical context.

These lectures are detailed, educational, and progressive. They address some of Christianity’s most misunderstood topics in a fresh and inspiring manner, guaranteed to overturn old perspectives. What About the New Covenant? Does the new covenant really replace the old covenant? The church teaches that the new covenant cancels the Torah and God’s covenant with the Jewish people. Messianic Judaism teaches that Yeshua did not abolish the Torah, but if that’s true, what about the new covenant? D. Thomas Lancaster digs into the Bible’s prophecies to dispel many of the common myths and misunderstandings about the new covenant. $25 | 2824 | 4-CD Audio Set $25 | 2825 | MP3 Format (Download) What About Heaven and Hell? The traditional Christian view of Heaven and Hell assumes that both exist. Beyond that, Christianity disagrees with itself on what Heaven is, what Hell is, who goes where, and how long they stay. What About Heaven and Hell? approaches these questions from a Messianic Jewish perspective to cast new light on New Testament passages about Heaven and Hell. $25 | 2822 | 4-CD Audio Set $25 | 2823 | MP3 Format (Download) What About Paganism? Paganism and idolatry are real. Those who live in the West seldom see people worshiping or offering sacrifices to idols, but paganism is as real today as it was in the time of the Bible. Idolatry is not just a metaphor for materialism—it exists in a physical and tangible way as well. Paganism is not just something for the history books, but it is something every believer must guard against, even today. $25 | 2720 | 4-CD Audio Set $25 | 2721 | MP3 Format (Download) 14 ORDER SECURELY ONLINE: FFOZ.ORG / STORE What About Tithing?

Thomas Lancaster considers the implications of trying to bring the gospel to a post-modern world from a Messianic, Torah-based perspective. $25 | 2820 | 4-CD Audio Set $25 | 2821 | MP3 Format (Download) Audio Teachings EXCLUSIVE RESOURCES Every month FFOZ Friends receive a set of free Audio teachings as a thank-you for their monthly support These resources are available online, exclusive to FFOZ Friends.

We must weigh the ramifications of those titles and grapple with the realization that Jesus never left Judaism or started a new religion. Chronicles of the Messiah builds on that perspective to study the whole gospel story within the context of Judaism and the Jewish people of Jesus’ day.

His Hebrew name is Eliyahu. Messiah, then he must have already been there in the days of the Master. Read Mark 9:13 to find out what BiBlical“Elijah activitiesthe for c hildren (ages 2-6) Eliyahu HaNavi means prophet.” Yeshua said about the missing prophet Elijah.

FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS Clue Number Five: So according to the Master, Yochanan (John) the Immerser was Elijah. Let’s see what John himself says about being Elijah. Read John 1:19–23. Clue Number Six: This is confusing! Yeshua says that Yochanan (John) is Elijah, but Yochanan himself says he is not. Let’s go read a prophecy about Yochanan. Look up Luke 1:17. What did the angel Gabriel say about Yochanan before he was born? Clue Number One: Let’s go to the place where the disciples asked Yeshua about Elijah. Read Matthew 17:10–11. What did Yeshua tell his disciples when they asked about Elijah? Clue Number Seven: Elijah’s job was to be the messenger God sent to prepare the way for Messiah. What was Yochanan the Immerser’s job? Read Luke 7:27–29. Clue Number Two: Before we go any further, we should find the original prophecy that predicts Elijah will come before the Messiah. Find the book of Malachi in your Bible and read Malachi 4:5–6. Solve the Mystery: What do you think? Was Yochanan (John) the Immserser really Elijah, or was he a prophet who came in the spirit and power of Elijah? ffoz.org/resources/torahkIDs2-6 © 2008 First Fruits of Zion.

The Everlasting Jew, compiled, edited, and revised by Jordan Gayle Levy and D. Thomas Lancaster, is a new collation of Rabbi Isaac Lichtenstein’s inspiring writings, translated to English for the first time. $22 | 4029 | Book (Hardcover, 143 pages) Love and the Messianic Age Crammed with stimulating thought and pervaded by real spiritual beauty, Love and the Messianic Age is a Chasidic discourse from one of the pioneers of Messianic Judaism, Paul Philip Levertoff. This book opens a field of inquiry and reflection that encourages us to internalize the spiritual truths of theology and of our faith in Messiah and causes us to consider our relationship with God, our motivations for serving him, and how our interactions with God and Torah can be expressed in hearts of joy, acts of love, fervent prayer, and sincere repentance. Our writers have also taken the time to explain Levertoff’s concepts and to bring additional insights from the world of Jewish literature. More than that, they drew out intriguing parallels from the Gospels and Epistles. The final result is more than a simple commentary on another book; it is a plunge into the deepest waters of New Testament mysticism and apostolic theosophy. The short, bite-sized commentaries will also serve well as a type of daily devotional. $22 | 4000 | Book (Hardcover, 96 Pages) $18 | 4001 | Study Guide (Softcover, 179 pages) We Thank You BLESSINGS OF THANKS BEFORE AND AFTER MEALS Our new table blessings guide, We Thank You, offers a simple and innovative liturgy for disciples of Yeshua by weaving the ancient meal blessings of Judaism together with recently discovered prayers of the early believers.

This new breakthrough book introduces the reader to the rich background and meaning behind some of the names of the Messiah.

James says that such a person’s religion is worthless. On the other hand, James refers to the person who tames his or her tongue as a “perfect” person. That’s a stark contrast. This book, Taming the Tongue, adds to Judaism’s ongoing conversation about the laws and principles of proper speech from a slightly different angle.

PASSOVER HAGGADAH הגדה של פסח 12 Meal of Messiah THE WEDDING SUPPER OF THE LAMB The Meal of Messiah is a resource for the final day of Passover, which commemorates the crossing of the Red Sea. There is a custom to end the season of redemption with an additional, less formal meal called Se’udat Mashiach (Meal of Messiah). This event focuses on the ultimate redemption and the future Messianic banquet. Meal of Messiah, formatted and styled like the Vine of David Haggadah, presents a service for this final day of Passover and celebrates both the resurrection of our Master and the dawning of the Messianic Age. It includes songs, Scripture readings, and inspiring passages from both rabbinic literature and the early church fathers. $10 | 4012 | Meal of Messiah (Softcover, 64 pages) $ 8 | 4013 | Meal of Messiah (Melodies CD) $22 | 4014 | Haggadah + Meal of Messiah + Melodies CD 40 ORDER SECURELY ONLINE: FFOZ.ORG / STORE vineofdavid.org Rabinowitz Haggadah A 120-YEAR-OLD MESSIANIC HAGGADAH Joseph Rabinowitz (1837–1899) grew up in a Russian Chasidic family and became a devout and pioneering follower of Yeshua.
