Boston Globe MetroWest Jewish Reporter

In a recent nationwide survey, the Gallup organization asked Americans: &#8220;In the Middle East situation, are [...]]]></description>

In the days following the Haiti earthquake, the international press was awash in astonishing reports commending Israel’s tremendous work in medical disaster response and setting up a field hospital operation that had other nations looking on in awe.

		<description><![CDATA[Who Was Jesus&#8217; Grandfather?
What the two genealogies of Christ, found in Matthew and Luke, are really trying to say.
By Grant Osborne, www.ChristianityToday.com
Few aspects of the Bible seem less relevant to daily life than genealogies. Yet for Gospel writers Matthew and Luke, they were absolutely essential for understanding Jesus.
Genealogies fulfilled multiple purposes in the ancient world. [...]]]></description>

In this time in which we live, is there still room for Christmas? Oh, I don&#8217;t mean all the usual festivities that accompany the &#8220;holiday&#8221; season.

		<description><![CDATA[By Albert Mohler, www.CrossWalk.com
As the celebration of Christmas fast approaches, our attention quickly goes to the familiar words of the infancy narratives found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.  This is a healthy reflex.  After all, the Gospel of Jesus Christ rests upon the historicity of the events that took place in Bethlehem as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Adon Taft, www.MiamiHerald.com
Many Americans see the present politically correct view of the holidays as a jihad against the Christian celebration of Christmas.
Retail chains now mandate that clerks greet customers with “Happy Holidays” rather than the traditional “Merry Christmas.” Scattered school districts have banned the singing of Christmas carols, and many have relabeled the holiday [...]]]></description>

How did December 25 come to be associated with Jesus’ birthday?
