Here’s an article by Tom Cantor, “How Much Do You Know About Chanukah?”
Tom, a Jewish believer in Jesus, tells the story of Chanukah and then goes to the Word of God (specifically the Book of Isaiah and the Gospel of John) and connects Chanukah (Hanukkah) to the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For the Christmas season, read “How a Jew Learned the True Meaning of Christmas” by Tom Cantor.
“Growing up as a Jew left me without an understanding of the true meaning of Christmas…Finally, I came to understand the true meaning of Christmas through the story of a boy and his boat…”

This 19 page booklet uses an interesting parable about a boy and his boat to explain the Gospel. It reminded me a little of the Lord Jesus’ parables of “the shepherd and the lost sheep” and “the woman and the last coin” (Luke 15:1-10). Tom’s structures the analysis of his parable on the words “Made,”“Lost,” “Found,” and “Bought;” I found this helpful. It is a good summary of the Gospel. Christian apologist Alex McFarland has used a similar story with a bike, and while very good, it doesn’t have the first step of this parable which I think adds something important and biblical. Also, I liked how Tom ended it with a Gospel presentation and Scripture.
I hadn’t realized it until rereading this one that this is one of four of his booklets entitled “How a Jew…” I’ve mentioned the others before here, here, and here.

Tom taught from Matthew 18:15–20. He talked about how to reconcile personal offenses between Christians biblically. He gave an analogy from his first time working construction as to how problems can fester and noted even in church discipline to remember Matthew 18:11 that “The Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”

Watch our November 7, 2021 Worship and Communion service including singing, announcements, a musical special, and a sermon by Tom Cantor from Amos 2.
Tom taught how the Lord judges the nations to do not have his Word because they have the witness of creation (Psalm 19 & Romans 1). He noted that those who have the Scriptures have a responsibility to live it out in our lives. He expressed how this can be difficult and important work by saying, “The Lord saved Israel from Egypt in one day, but it took 40 years to get Egypt out of Israel.”
First hymn: “There Is a Fountain”
Second hymn: “Beneath the Cross of Jesus”
Special Music: “Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It” (men’s quartet)
Closing hymn: “The Love of God”
