I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! .... God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. ...for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. Romans 11:1,2,11.
The average Jewish person passes through life without hearing so much as a clear definition of true Christianity, let alone observing an accurate witness. The responsibility of the Church to the Jewish people is to seek, by every means available, to undo damage that has been done to the Jewish people in the Name of Christ and the Church. Our task is to be an expression of genuine Christian love.
CasaIsrael promotes Awareness through Educational Programs - Our emphasis is teaching the church's heritage from a biblical Judeo-Christian viewpoint. Our teachings are a reminder to the Christian church to celebrate the biblical feasts as specified in The Bible. We offer training through Biblical Art at our Studio. We believe it is part of our Judeo-Christian heritage to reconcile these events back into the church's value system. The Biblical Feasts are not something "done away with in the cross". In fact, the scriptures say "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us keep the Festival.." I Corinthians 5:7-8.

From the village life in the Galilee to Jerusalem’s Holy Temple, from Hebrew Prayers to the Songs of the Festivals and the Shabbat, the world that Jesus knew 2,000 years ago was a distinctly Jewish one. This DVD helps you to discover the Jewish Roots of Jesus as you take a journey to witness the same language, religion and traditions that Jesus would have known when He lived.

2. Seven Keys to Jewish Life
What is a Shofar, and why does the ram’s horn have special significance for Jews around the world? What is a mezuzah and why doe it grace every Jewish doorway? Seven Keys to Jewish Life gives you the answers, while adding a new dimension to the understanding of Jewish tradition. This teaching takes you to visit a scribe, a leatherworker, a family celebrating Shabbat and Chanukah, and puts you in touch with Jewish History through unforgettable photographs and paintings.

5. Jesus in the Holy Land
Capturing the majesty of the Holy Land this presentation follows the chronology of the Bible in the footsteps of Christ. Visiting each site relevant to Jesus’ life, this presentation gives not only their historical context but also shows their influence on modern-day Israel in all its colorful and exotic diversity. In seven parts, we can see the parallels between the Gospels of Jesus and the ways of the life and religious practice of Christians, Jews, Samaritans and Moslems living in the Land today. Every aspect of daily life, ritual, festival, and life cycle observances are compared with those of the Jews of Jesus’ day and of Jesus himself.
6. In the Footsteps of Jesus
This teaching starts with the Journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Visit the Church of the Nativity to relive the birth of Jesus, 2,000 years ago – and walk the street of Nazareth where Jesus grew up. See the Jordan River where he was baptized, the Church of the Beatitudes where he gave the Sermon on the Mount,,, and the site of the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. Then climb the slopes of Mount Tabor – the Mountain of Transfiguration – where Jesus revealed Himself in the fullness of His glory. Join Jesus entry to Jerusalem. See where He chased out the moneychangers from the sacred Temple. Visit the Mt. of Olives, feel the emotion of the Room of the Last Supper. Follow His agonizing walk through the streets of Jerusalem on His way to crucifixion and death on the cross. Walk with Mary Magdalene as she realizes that His tomb is empty and that Christ has risen. hear His last words :”Behold I am with you, even to the end of the World’’ as they echo to us down through the millennia.
7. “The Covenant” the musical that presents the story of the People of Israel from the time of Abraham until today. Following Israel’s history, from biblical times to the establishment of modern day Israel, you will be introduced to the greatest story ever told, and understand the foundations of the Jewish people of today. The story progresses through many of the eternal characters of the Bible, such as Abraham, Moses, Ruth, David and Daniel, and gives dramatic accounts of recent Jewish history. Through the descriptions of the persecutions suffered in the worldwide dispersion and the prophesied rebirth of the Jewish people, we see how modern history aligns with the word of the Bible. This is established by the return of the Jewish people to the land of their fathers, the land of Israel.
