As Israeli citizens, we have worked many years full-time for two prominent and well-known congregations in Israel. The first, Beit Hallel (https://www.beithallel-israel.org), focuses on the Russian speaking Jews, which are very open to the Gospel. (Over 70% of all Messianic Jews in Israel are Russian speakers. I am fluent in Russian myself).
The second congregation, Netivyah (https://netivyah.org), stands out as a truly unique community in Israel. Their members believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah, but their worship services resemble those of a traditional synagogue, including reading from the Torah scrolls, reciting prayers from the Siddur, observing all the feasts, new moons, and adhering to Kashrut.
This experience has created in us two core convictions:
- Jews should remain Jews, even if they believe Jesus is the Messiah. This includes proudly upholding the Torah, its feasts, and most ancestral traditions.
- Christians should not only love and bless the Jewish people but also learn from them, as Christianity’s roots are deeply intertwined with Judaism.
You can download my book on the Jewish Roots of our Faith for free. This book provides a clear and very practical understanding of why and how we should restore the Jewish roots today, covering topics like the role of the law and legalism, which commandments to keep or not, and how Jews and Non-Jews should perceive each other.
If your congregation is interested in hosting conferences on the Jewish roots of Christianity, and if additionally you would like me to pray for individuals seeking healing and prophetic words, please feel free to contact me.
