Messianic Judaism / יהודים משיחים is a biblically based movement of Jewish people who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah. In so believing they have chosen to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to the Biblical customs and traditions of the Jewish nation.
Earlier today I was browsing Facebook pages that belong to people who are on my friends list when I came across a sister who uses the Hebrew word "YAHshua" to describe our Master. This is the message I sent her. I would love your comments below – especially if you disagree with the conclusions of this note. However, I ask that you respect this conversation and take the time to review my references. My dear sister, I noticed your profile just now and it brought a smile to my face to read Jeremiah 6:16 and how we are to walk on the ancient paths. That is a wonderful verse. Next, I noticed that you call our Master by the word "yah-shua" (יהשוע). I have something very, very important to share with you about that Hebrew construct. First, it isn’t even a word in Hebrew. It isn’t found once [...]

Many people asks us or assume who we are through the historical understanding of historical Christianity. Nothing can be further from the truth. Here is a small sample of what we believe. The unity of God. We do not believe in the trinity. God is one. Maran Yeshua HaMashiach said: "One of the Soferim came up, hearing them reasoning together. T ...
Shabbat (sabbath) is the only ritual observance instituted in the Ten Commandments. Primarily a day of rest and spiritual enrichment, the word ‘Shabbat’ comes from the root Shin-Bet-Tav, meaning ‘to cease, to end, or to rest’.

The earliest followers and disciples of Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth believed that Yeshua was the promised Mashiach (Messiah) of Israel and the Redeemer of all nations. However, they did not believe that Yeshua came to start a new religion or to abolish the Torah (Teaching, Instruction) of Moshe; instead, they continued to worship the God of Abraham, I ...
To some, the concept of a Jew believing in our Rabbi Yeshua seems to be a contradiction. The reason is, many people have a dichotomy set up in their minds. On the one hand, you have Jews and Judaism and on the other hand, Christians and Christianity. You are either one or the other…..so the thinking goes. But this simple dichotomy is in real ...
In the Talmud it is written, "When will the Messiah come?" And "By what sign may I recognize him?" Elijah tells the rabbi to go to the gate of the city where he will find the Messiah sitting among the poor lepers (Sanhedrin 98a). "The Messiah — what is his name?… The sages say, the Leper Scholar, as it is s ...

One of the Sages from the Mishnah is quoted as this, "May you be covered in the dust of your Rabbi." Rabbis are passionate and animated. They would spend their days taking their disciples around teaching them, and as they traveled from place to place, they would literally kick up a cloud of dust. And because the disciples were following t ...
The Jewish people for thousands of years have looked forward to the coming of their Mashiach, the hope of Israel. The Torah describes King Messiah: I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that ...
The Messianic Jewish movement currently finds itself in the midst of a rabid identity crisis. From its inception, Messianic Judaism’s primary goal has been to be a home and way of life for Jewish followers of Yeshua. However, if we are honest with ourselves we must admit that our efforts have largely been a failure. In the decades since our r ...

Every believer desires to grow in the knowledge of HaShem and His Messiah. The first Psalm tells us that if we will delight in the Torah and meditate upon it, we will grow like a tree planted by a river. In the religious world today, one often hears the mantra, “God is doing a new thing!” This catchphrase is usually offered to explain t ...
There was a game show many years ago called “To Tell the Truth”. It was a show that had one real person and three other imposters pretending to be the same person. The panel would ask questions and then try and determine the true one from the imposters. That is the argument made by Jews and anti-missionaries who try to dissuade Jews fro ...
The Torah: Never Changing but Always Refreshing. (RAMBAM 13 Principals of Faith – Principal Nine, Lesson Eight Excerpt; Page 269) The Spiritual identity of the Torah appears, at first glance, to present us with two contradictory themes.
