Do Jews have a holy communion?

Answer 1

No, just christians as far as i know

AnswerCommunion is the Christian response for Jesus' "last supper" which was a Passover Seder.

Jews do observe Passover each year in which we eat matzo and drink wine. But it does not have the meanings that Christians attach to it.

Answer 2

No. Communion is a Christian sacrament, in which the communicant partakes of wine and bread (often a flat wafer) that symbolize the blood and flesh of Jesus Christ. In certain Christian denominations, notably Roman Catholicism, the bread and wine are believed to transubstantiate, that is to actually become the flesh and blood of the Saviour.

Jews do not accept Jesus, who was Himself a Jew, as the Messiah or as their saviour. They have no reason to engage in a communion service.

Still, the coincident timing of the Jewish feast of Passover and the Christian celebration of Easter suggest that Communion might be derived, in some part, from the Passover service. Drinking of wine and eating of unleavened (flat, cardboard-like) bread is part of Passover.

Answer 3

Jews are not against the eucharist per se; they have no issue with Christians performing the ritual. However, most Jews see the act of communion as a form of cannibalism since the wafer has been metaphysically altered to become the flesh of Jesus Christ through invocations of God. (Jews see the Protestant view of consubstantiation as rather silly since consuming a sacrifice is meaningless if the item is only a representation of the sacrifice but not the sacrifice itself.) As Jesus is a human to Jews, the actual eucharist is the consumption of human flesh, which is the definition of cannibalism.

Additionally, Judaism opposes human sacrifices and the eucharist is a the partaking of a human sacrifice, leading to a rejection of the principle for Jews.
