Yeshua was not living in Yerushalayim, his town was Capernahum, in Galilee, this town is very nice small village where it is nice to live, with a nice spring time all the winter season, it would be better for Yeshua to stay during all the cold season in Capernahum. However, for Yeshua, the Temple and its service were crucial to understand his ministry, that is why, he wald a long way (about 100 miles or 160 kilometers), in the winter to be on time in Yerushalayim for the feast. The next point is that Yeshua had a favorite place in the temple, âthe colonnade of Solomon.â This place will be also the favorite place of the Talmidim of Yeshua, following his example, they stay in the colonnade of Solomon to teach the people of Israel (Acts 3:11; 5:12). Here is a graphic of the Temple of Herod.
Next Jewish Celebration: Chanukah
If you are attentive to the Newsletter/parasha I send every week, you have noticed that we entered the moth of Kislev. This month is the month of Chanukah, many Christians call this feast, the feast of the light, but for the Jewish people it is the feast of the Dedication. It is with this appelation that the Besorat (Gospel) of John knows it. It is written: âAt that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon.â (John 10:22â23). Here is 2nd temple.
from November 26 2 for Matt & Tina Munson leaders of the Jewish Adventist Congregation in Cleveland (GA). Letâs pray for both of them, their families, and their ministries and congregation.
It is an interesting text which gives us the exact time of this feast, it is written that âIt was winterâ it is exactly the time of Chanukah, this feast will be in three week, December is the month of Christmas, snow and winter, even in Jerusalem it is winter and it could be cold. The second point is that Yeshua is walking in the Temple, the temple is the center of all the attention during the time of Chanukah, it was the celebration of the Dedication of the Temple during the time of the Maccabeh, in the second century before Yeshua.

through December
Because of the celebration of this feast by Yeshua, it seems to me that it is good for all the congregation involve in the Jewish-Adventist Friendship ministry to have some meetings where our Jewish friends are invited and to thank G-d for helping the Jewish people to maintain the Temple and its service until the coming of Yeshua.
