Episode 56: What You Never Heard About Palm Sunday

Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping Jews make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

As Palm Sunday approaches, the excitement and anticipation for the coming kingdom fill the air. But what the people don't know is that Jesus is not bringing the kingdom like they thought. In this episode of the Jewish Road podcast, we delve deep into the Passion Week narrative through Jewish eyes.

As we see the crowd cutting down palm branches and enacting the Feast of Tabernacles, we realize that they expected Rome to be overthrown and peace to reign. However, what Jesus knew as He rode into Jerusalem was that it was not time for the Feast of Tabernacles yet, but instead, a much different holiday, Yom Kippur, the sacrifice of the Lamb. In fact, the entire Holy Week was devoted to Jesus proving He was the Lamb, worthy to be slain for our sins.

Join us as we unpack the true meaning of the Passion Week and explore it through Jewish eyes. Come with us on a journey through the Jewish customs and traditions that inform this important event, and learn the significance of Jesus's sacrifice.
