I agree with this type of observance and the Judeo-Christian perspective of the bible but I want to find out why others do preferable what parts of the bible support or faith and the observance of Passover. also I observed my first seder and Passover in general along with Shabbat but all the answers aren't online and im confused about candle lighting times Shabbat candles vs. yom tov candles and also how to end pesach / Passover is there another feast do we do havdalah ? or what ??


im sorry if my question is long or confusing but if you have any really constructive answers it is greatly appreciated

Please don't leave any negative comments if you don't believe in god. or if you feel that Christians should observe " Jewish holydays"

"Jews"who observe a "messianic Seder" are Christians. Period.



There is no such thing a"Judeo-Christian"



Who makes those rules? Jews.



Unless you are Jewish, your observation of Pesach is play acting.

Period.

Why are you asking Christians (and yes, "Messianic Jews" are Christians)? Why not ask real Jews?



Jewish answer: Yom tov candles are always lit first, since once Shabbat candles are lit, further candle-lighting is prohibited (but Pesach didn't start on Shabbat this year anyway). Pesach ends this year on Monday or Tuesday night (depending whether one is in Israel or not) and, again, since it doesn't fall on Shabbat there is no Havdalah ceremony.

If non-Jews wish to celebrate Passover, they should participate respectfuly with their Jewish friends.



People who stick Jesus into the Passover story are being insecure about their own religion (there is two thousand years of Christian tradition which NEVER includes Passover)

and are offensive to Jews.



Moreover, Christians who make the Passover lamb into a symbol of Jesus are following Egyptian idolatry -- as educated Jews, Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians in the time of Jesus knew that the original Passover lamb sacrifice was part of "God's judgement against the idols of Egypt" -- specificaly, the lamb related to the Egyptian idol Ra.

answer: You don't. You can attend a JEWISH seder and see the REAL observances of Pesach as commanded to JEWS. Christians are not called on and, as most deluded 'messianics' claim to be Jews are FORBIDDEN to participate in Pesach observances because they are apostates

We Jews do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ

There's no need for Christians to celebrate Jewish holidays.

Oh sorry. I was going to leave a message about how xians should not celebrate Jewish holidays but I guess I am not supposed to. You can take out traditions and water them down and distort them. Hey....how about I hang a cross upside down on my wall? That make you feel good? How about we celebrate xmas by staging live births around town? No? I didn't think so.



Just leave the Jewish holidays to use. We don't try to engage in your holidays. Please so us the same respect.



"Messianic Pesach" means xians role playing as Jews. Not the same as a real Pesach therefore I doubt that any Jew will tell you how to do it.



Shabbat is not for xians. It is a for Jews. Why would you celebrate a day that is not your own? Can we put you down for thursday night at the mosque too? Eid? Holi?

I have been away and I realize that your question time period is over, but I wanted to say that I am Jewish - a Messianic Jew - and have had a Seder in my home for years. I also lead seders around the US for hundreds of gentile Christians. They love to see the symbolism of Yeshua (Jesus) who is the Lamb of God.
