Shalom in the name of Yeshua! That's the Hebrew way to say Jesus.

My name is Ethel Chadwick. I'm a nice Jewish girl, and twelve years ago, the Lord opened the door to a radio ministry for me. Perhaps you listened when the program was on Sundays. It's called "Bagels & Blessings" and it's now on Saturdays at 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM on 990 AM WDCX.  I am on the air playing Messianic music, interviewing people about their faith, and giving away bagels and lots of prizes.

A little bit about me:  I grew up in a Jewish family in Richmond, Virginia.   I went to Hebrew school for 5 years and occasionally to synagogue with my family.   I was always attracted to the occult and astrology, as I was always searching for the meaning of life.   (Later read I read Deuteronomy chapter 18 I realized that this was against God's law, so I repented and never went back to it...)  In college some friends gave me a tract about Jesus but I was offended and confused.   I even sang "Handel's Messiah" without knowing what it was about.  Later when I was married and living in Rochester, NY I met a lady who shared the scriptures with me and I got up the nerve to read the New Testament for the first time.   I saw that it wasn't offensive to Judaism and I learned that the disciples were Jewish, that the last supper was a Passover Seder.   When I read Isaiah 53 and Jeremiah 31:31 from the Jewish Bible I realized that Yeshua (Jesus) was the Messiah!   So in July of 1976 I invited Him into my heart and it's been a glorious and wonderful journey ever since!!!   There's lots more to tell, and I have CDs with the "rest of the story" if you're interested!  Just send me an email (you can click below).

Bagels and Blessings is a ministry of Messianic Congregation Shema Yisrael. We are Jews and Gentiles who have found faith in Messiah Yeshua! I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's important that the Rochester community learn how to witness to their Jewish friends. Here's how you can help:
