"Jews and Christians must relearn together to read the Hebrew Bible, and the New Testament restored to its historic and linguistic context. They will see that these texts should unite them rather than separate them, and should inspire in them an aspiration for salvation, rather than exasperate their rancors and hatreds, these unpardonable crimes against the spirit of unity and love that flows from our common springs. This unity of Christianity with Israel will remain only a pious wish so long as Jews and Christians have not clarified the historical and theological disputes that have so seriously divided them." -Andre Chouraqui, prominent Algerian-Jewish writer from his book "A Man in Three Worlds"

It's vital for people who claim to trust in Jesus/Yeshua as their spiritual leader and Lord to learn about His Jewishness, the context of His life and teachings. How can you trust in a man you don't even know? If you know Jesus as something other than He is, completely neglecting the Hebrew Scriptures in sole favor of the New Testament, you might be in danger of not following the man He really was and claimed to be.
