Jewish Calendars

The new 5785 Petah Tikvah calendars cover the 13-month period from Sept 2024 to Sept 2025. Cost for 5785 calendars is $6 each, no extra cost for postage. Cost for our Canadian friends is $7 each. The cost for our friends overseas is US $10 total because of the high cost of postage. We want to ensure that everyone will be able to obtain beautiful, high-quality Jewish calendars at a low cost. In addition, prison inmates can receive a free calendar, However, we request that inmates send 5 stamps (or a money order for $3) for mailing costs.

When unfolded, these 13-month calendars measure 11 inches by 18 inches. They are stapled in the middle, no metal spirals. There is a beautiful, full-color photo from Israel for each month. Both the Gregorian and Hebrew dates are shown for each day. The Jewish Holy Days (which are also the Biblical holidays) are all highlighted in color, as is Shabbat (Sabbath). The Parashot (Torah-Haftara) scripture portions for each week are also listed. These calendars also make great gifts. Use the Paypal button below or make checks/money orders out to 'Petah Tikvah.'

THE BOOK OF ACTS
A Messianic Jewish Commentary

This is a new offering from Petah Tikvah. The Book of Acts is the history of Messianic Judaism prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. It cannot be properly understood outside of its historical Jewish context. This 117-page book contains the series of articles on the Book of Acts that were published in Petah Tikvah from 2008 to 2012. The cost is only $10 each, free shipping and handling, checks made out to Petah Tikvah. Cost for inmates is 8 post-age stamps.

This booklet contains the series of articles that were published in Petah Tikvah on the Book of Hebrews in 2005 and 2006. This volume will help the reader better understand the Book of Hebrews in its original Jewish context, as it was understood by its readers in the First Century. Cost is only $5 each, free shipping and handling, checks made out to Petah Tikvah. Cost for in-mates is only 4 postage stamps.

We now have a new commentary available to you. It is a very comprehensive 160 page commentary on the Book of Matityahu (Matthew). It is in the same format you see in Petah Tikvah Magazine, so it is very densely packed with information. Unlike most Matthew commentaries, it is not written from a Christian perspective. Instead, this book restores the original Hebraic and Jewish context as this book would have been understood by Matthew's Jewish readers in the First Century C.E.
Scattered within its pages are some Reverend Twistruth cartoons by Daniel Botkin, as well as other good Biblical artwork. It is beautifully printed and bound by Printing Plus, a local printer. The beautiful cover art (front and back) has been done for us by Bryan Picken. He has also done the cover art for Petah Tikvah Magazine for almost a decade from his prison cell in Michigan. He is being released from prison in early 2019. Please keep him in prayer! The cost of this commentary is $12, no extra cost for shipping and handling. (The cost for inmates is 10 forever postage stamps, or $5 M.O.) This will be a very worthwhile addition to your biblical library, and will provide you with many hours of enjoyable study into the Scriptures. Request this book when you write your check, made out to: Petah Tikvah, 165 Doncaster Rd, Rochester NY 14623-1348.

This book (79 pages) is a reprint from a few years ago, with additional chapters not included in the original version. It contains the series of articles that were published in Petah Tikvah on the Book of Revelation in previous years. This volume will help the reader better understand the Book of Revelation in its original Jewish context, as it was understood by its readers in the First Century. Cost is only $8 each, free S&H. (The cost for inmates is 6 forever postage stamps.)

Jewish Basicsis the perfect tool for anyone wishing to learn the traditional Jewish liturgy and to practice Hebrew. The lyrics and the familiar melodies from both the Sephardic & Ashkenazic traditions are well suited for study, meditation, and liturgical worship.
We have various liturgical CDs in our possession. However, none are as well done as this CD. There is both a male and a female cantor on this disk, both of whom are superb. It is a pleasure to listen to them. The music is genuinely worshipful. In addition, there is piano accompaniment to add to you listening pleasure. This CD is professional, high quality material.
We highly recommend this CD for those wishing to learn Jewish liturgy. This CD is useful both to cantors and to congregants. Many also use these CDs for worship in their homes.
The CD and the accompanying booklet contain most of the liturgy commonly used for Shabbat (Sabbath) worship, including the blessings and songs used in the Torah service.
The booklet contains the Shabbat liturgy in Hebrew, transliterated Hebrew, and also the English translations for all the pieces. As you listen and read along (or sing along!), you will greatly increase your ability to correctly pronounce Hebrew. We are also including a Hebrew alphabet chart for those who are unfamiliar with written Hebrew. The singing and cantorials are all in Hebrew, using the Sephardic pronunciation, just as Hebrew is spoken in Israel today.
The cost for the CD and accompanying booklet is $10, US currency. No extra cost for Shipping and Handling, worldwide.
