Ethel ... is a faithful and devoted follower of her Messiah, Yeshua, ... and exuberant host of ""Bagels and Blessings,"" a show featuring interviews, information and insights.... However, to me, what commends her most ...is her role-and her calling-as a Mom-and a Jewish one, at that! It tickled me to think that all of creation has, as it's eternal sovereign, the Jewish Son of a Jewish mom! He is-and will ever be-the head over a household rightly deemed a ""mishpachah""-a family. ...There is no one more qualified to share her life in the Lord with yours than this Jewish mother who loves the blessed and divine Son of another Jewish mother-and has dedicated her life to caring for the family birthed in His Name. So why don't you toast a bagel, take a seat at Ethel's table and receive a blessing from what she has to offer. Enjoy!! Marty Goetz Ministries/House Of Worship, Messianic Music Minister"
