A Messianic Jewish rabbi says many Christians don’t fully understand the connections between the Jewish observance of Passover and the Last Supper of Jesus and the Disciples — and he aims to illuminate those connections to a broad audience.
One of those “impactful” elements is the three pieces of unleavened bread — matzos — which are contained in a “Matzo Tosh,” or bag, he said.
“The middle piece of matzo is taken, broken, buried, [and] brought back at the end,” he said, referring to the piece known as the afikoman, which is hidden for a period during the Seder and usually “found” by a child who participates. The rabbi noted that matzos are baked with piercings and that the baking process produces “stripes” on the finished product, which he connects with the messianic prophecy in Isaiah 53:5, “By his stripes, we are healed.”

Others will connect the traditional symbols on the Seder plate to current divisions over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul. In North America, where the largest number of Jews outside of Israel live, Seder leaders consider the observance a perfect vehicle for discussion of Israel today. Netanyahu leads the most right-wing government in Israeli history.
