Every spring, Jewish families around the world sit down at the same table, tell the same story, and ask the same questions their ancestors asked three thousand years ago. Why is this night different from all other nights? The answer takes hours to tell. It takes a lifetime to understand.
For years, readers like you have asked Israel365 for something specific: not a summary of Passover, not a comparative religion survey, but a real window into how Jewish people actually live this story. What they prepare. What they say. What they mean. What it feels like to relive the Exodus not as history but as this year’s truth.
That book now exists. And it exists because you made it possible.
Passover from the Inside, written by Jewish educator and Bible scholar Shira Schechter, is the guide Christian readers have been asking for. It walks through the full Passover experience — the weeks of preparation, the Seder night, the seven days of celebration, the ancient texts that give it all meaning. Not just what Jews do. Why. And what it means to a people who have been telling this story without interruption for three millennia.
This is what your support makes possible. Across everything Israel365 does — from TheIsraelBible.com to the resources we publish — the mission is the same: connecting people with the Hebrew Bible, the land of Israel, and the Jewish people who have lived this story from the inside. That takes writers, scholars, and educators willing to do it right. Passover from the Inside is one expression of that work. There will be more.
The Exodus isn’t background to the Bible. Every prophet, every psalm, every covenant reaches back to that one foundational night. When you understand how the Jewish people have relived it — not remembered it, relived it — you read Scripture differently. You know the people you pray for as they know themselves.
Your generosity is what keeps that education going. If you want to continue making resources like this possible, your continued support funds the next book, the next study tool, the next resource that opens the Bible in a way it’s never been opened for someone before.
Thank you for standing behind this work.
