Keeping It Israel

How Can Hebrew Enhance Your Christmas Season? Explore Hidden Holiday Meaning with Melissa

Jeff Futers Season 7 Episode 24

The Christmas season is upon us once again and today we want to discover the rich Hebrew meaning of some significant words that we hear a lot in the month of December.  In this episode of "Keeping it Israel" Melissa Briggs of "Explore Hebrew" helps Christians understand the deep Hebrew words and meanings that often get overlooked during the Holiday season. She helps us grasp what "Emanuel" means, the significance of "Bethlehem" and helps illuminate the Christmas Biblical narrative.

Melissa Briggs is an experienced Hebrew Teacher who lived in Jerusalem, then England, and now lives in Nashville with her husband, children, and foster children. She is passionate about making the riches of the Hebrew language accessible to everyone. She is also an Ambassador for Christian Friends of EMUNAH Israel - a charity that supports the orphans and most needy children in the Holy Land. Melissa and her husband Stephen also produce a weekly podcast entitled ‘Israel Matters’ that explores the pressing issues surrounding the Holy Land from a Christian perspective.
