Links to Messiah Podcast
Links to Messiah is where faith, family and the profound impact of the Jewish Messiah converge. Hi, I’m Rachel and was raised in a Messianic Jewish home where my parents ensured that my sisters and I understood our Jewish roots and how the Old Testament all pointed directly to our Messiah, Jesus.
We explore the Jewish roots of the Bible. We discuss the importance of understanding feasts and festivals. We highlight how these traditions are intricately linked to the narrative of the Jewish Messiah.

Ep. 71 - Chocolate-Covered Matzah & Sacred Hospitality (Feat. Pennie Morgan)
I was scrolling Instagram when I saw a woman, Pennie, from Hephzibah House, making chocolate-covered matzah for Passover. Naturally, I had questions. Who was this person turning a humble holiday snack into something so soulful and beautiful? I had to meet her. Fascinated and eager to learn more, I reached out... and the rest is podcast history.
What followed was a rich, heart-centered conversation. Pennie and I discuss the mission and heart behind Hephzibah House, a space built on radical hospitality, spiritual openness, and a name that means “God delights," which, let’s be honest, is a lot to live up to… but Pennie wears it with grace.
We explored how community is cultivated, especially in a place like Manhattan where you’re more likely to bump into a bagel cart than a neighbor. Pennie also shared what it’s like to raise children in the city, and how she navigates tender spiritual conversations with her young children.
One of my favorite moments is when Pennie shares about the moment her son asked to celebrate Passover. Yes, you heard that right. A kid voluntarily requesting a holiday that involves cleaning and bitter herbs. That’s not just surprising, it’s practically miraculous.
