Some quotes you may use for publicity :

“Many people may wonder what Jesus has to do with the Passover. But, those who are Jewish and know the Messiah know that the story of Passover points to the one who is the redeemer of our people. His name is Yeshua. That’s the Jewish way to say Jesus.”

“Believing in Jesus is a very Jewish thing. In fact it is the most Jewish thing that anyone can do. He is the Jewish Messiah! To see Him in the Passover celebration is only natural. His Last Supper was a Passover meal and the celebration points not only to the deliverance of our people from slavery and bondage to Pharaoh in Egypt, but to the redemption that Jesus came to bring to all people.”

“Our communion celebration has a very Jewish background. That background goes back to the Passover meal that Jesus celebrated the night before His crucifixion.”
