The Passover Seder is a ritual which our Jewish people have continually observed for over 3,000 years. Passover is first found in the book of Exodus and celebrates our release from physical bondage in Egypt. As Jews, Jesus and His disciples celebrated the Passover, with the "Last Supper " being the best known example. Increasingly, Christians are enjoying the celebration of Passover as they discover the Jewish roots of their faith. Our presentation demonstrates that the Passover service contains rituals which clearly point to Jesus as Messiah. Believers invite friends & neighbors to hear us make a strong case that Jesus is the greater Passover Lamb, the Jewish Messiah and that all need to respond in faith to Him. That is why we conduct a Seder.
We also oversaw a Messianic Seder outreach at two homes in New Jersey, with Jewish people present.

Messianic Bible Discipleship Program in upstate New York at
Shoshanah Campus Summer 2024

- Each Summer Mottel teaches for five weeks at the Discipleship Program for Jewish & Gentile believers run by Ariel Ministries at their Shoshanah Conference Center in upstate NY. The ministry was founded by well respected Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, a Jewish believer in Jesus. This is a fully collaborative endeavor and benefits the Jewish believers we are discipling in our ministry. When the program began over 45 years ago it was only open to Jewish believers, now it's open to all. It was vital to Mottel & Deborah's early spiritual growth and so it is a privilege for Mottel to teach there and to have believers we work with attending.
- Many of the believers there have come to faith in recent years. The program entails 4 or 5 hours of classes per day at the Bible College level, so the students tend to be serious and MOST teach Bible themselves in their home areas. In 2024 the program averaged about 40 adult students each week, with about 140 different students from across the USA plus 9 nations over the full 8 weeks of the teaching schedule.
- Importantly, over the years many who were initially discipled here went on to full time Jewish outreach ministry. Mottel usually teaches 2 courses per day, and has counseling, leadership and music leadership responsibilities.

Mottel teaching "Eight Covenants of the Bible" a 10 session (10 hours total) class. He also taught
a Bible Timeline & Plan Overview w 10 sessions, and a course on Romans (10 hours).

In addition to teaching, one of Mottel's responsibilities was to oversee and lead the seven or eight students who volunteered to be
in the various mix n match music team configurations. Most of our songs are taken directly from the Scripture text,
with some songs using the original Hebrew lyrics.

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum is the founder of both the Summer Bible School, in 1974, and of Ariel Ministries in 1977. He will continue to teach at the school and write as CEO Leadership is now passed to Dr. Tim Sigler, a Jewish believer who taught at Moody Bible Institute

The School is a six-hour drive north of New York City, and 90 minutes south of Montréal Canada. Keeseville, NY is in the scenic Adirondack mountains, with the city of Plattsburgh just 25 minutes away.
