Jewish-Mormon dialogue: Three wonderful evenings in Los Angeles

It’s been a great month for Jewish-LDS relations in Los Angeles. Readers of this blog know of my firm belief that Mormons have a great deal to say to Jews, and vice versa. Judging from the turnout at three recent events, many other Mormons and Jews feel the same way. Last Sunday Jewish and Mormon leaders gathered at an LDS chapel in order to hear an inspired presentation on Mormons and the Holy Land given by Joe and Marilyn Bentley, who recently returned from 18 months of service as the Directors of Hosting and Outreach at the BYU Center in Jerusalem. The Bentleys have a great love for Israel and the Jewish people, and clearly enjoyed sharing interesting details of their assignment and of LDS involvement in the Holy Land for over 160 years.

Watch: How the Scriptures Reveal the Way Temple Worship Changes Over Time

By LDS Living

While the truths revealed through temple worship are unchanging, the way our Heavenly Father reveals those truths and makes covenants with His children have changed from dispensation to dispensation. In the Bible, we see many similarities between the Tabernacle of Moses and modern-day temples, but there are also distinct differences between ancient and current temple worship. Take, for example, animal sacrifices, which were performed to foreshadow the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. But when Jesus Christ visited the Nephites, He explained animal sacrifice was to be replaced with the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit (3 Nephi 9:19–20). Learn more about the way temple practices have changed over time with this fascinating video from Book of Mormon Central:

How To Show Your Spouse You're Thankful for Them
