“Judah prevailed above his brothers and of him is the chief ruler; but the birthright is Joseph’s” (1 Chronicles 5:2).

Joseph & Judah is a platform for creating understanding between Jews and Mormons. A common spirit, grounded in similar worldviews, animates both peoples. A common destiny has been bringing both peoples together. The ties that exist between the two go deeper than between other ethnic and religious groups.

"The Literary Message of Isaiah" 

 New Edition Now in Print

A multifaceted seven-part structure of the Book of Isaiah draws on events from Israel’s past to systematically develop an apocalyptic message and a Hebrew messianic theology. When subjected to several literary analyses simultaneously—structural, rhetorical, and typological—the Book of Isaiah discloses secrets that have lain dormant for millennia.   To order a copy, click here.  To read an excerpt, click here.

“You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever. . . And it shall come to pass when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ that you will say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Jehovah’s Passover, who passed over the homes of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our homes’” (Exodus 12:24, 26-27). click

A “Feast of Tabernacles for Joseph and Judah” was held 24 September 2010. (See YouTube video.) Participants remembered ancestors, learned of God’s covenant with Israel, enjoyed musical numbers, danced in celebration of the harvest, and ate a hearty dinner.

US Mormons mark Passover holiday with Seder

By ASSOCIATED PRESS 30/03/2010 23:50 Avraham Gileadi, a Mormon who is also a Hebrew scholar, will direct "A Passover for Joseph and Judah" at Provo's ScenicView Academy.

SALT LAKE CITY — It's Passover in Utah, with a Mormon twist.

On Monday evening, Jews around the world began the holiday with a Seder, the traditional meal during which the biblical story of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt is retold. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be holding one of their own this week.

Avraham Gileadi, a Mormon who is also a Hebrew scholar, will direct "A Passover for Joseph and Judah" at Provo's Scenic View Academy on Friday. Gileadi, 69, is affiliated with the Seder's sponsor, The Hebraeus Foundation, an organization promoting biblical scholarship. He said that Mormons and Jews share similar attributes and that while Passover isn't an LDS tradition, it could be. "A lot of LDS people are also part of that heritage," Gileadi said. "It's as much about us as it is about Jews." Attendees are coming to Provo for a combination of religious and educational reasons. Eric Palmer, 60, owns a small business in the area and is drawn to the Jewish tradition as a way of understanding his own Mormon faith. "I think this is an undeveloped area of our religion. It's our history, and we've lost it," Palmer said. "It's an important tradition to a lot of people in the world, and I'd like to understand it better."
