A Bewhiskered Believer Bewildered By Beard-Hating Brethren Several years ago I was interviewed by a pastor for a job as principal of a Christian school. At the end of the interview, the pastor offered me the position, and said he really hoped I would accept it. "There’s just one more thing," he said rather hesitantly. "If you do decide to take the job, I’ll have to ask you to shave your beard." The pastor was quick to assure me that he himself had nothing personal against beards.

These parents wanted good role models for their children, and a fuzzy-faced principal in a Christian school did not fit their definition of a good role model. I assured the pastor that if I decided to accept the position as God’s will, I [...]

Prayer is also referred to as, service of the heart, it takes time and commitment each day to stop, meditate and offer honest prayers from the heart to the Almighty Father. The main "weapon" of Mashiach–and of every believer is prayer. Every tefilah (prayer), every bracha (blessing), every whispered thanks, every Psalm and eve ...
Messianic Jewish Emuna: Tevunah – תבונה “Now, it is known that in Binah itself there are two levels; Binah and Tevunah. The matter of Tevunah is the aspect of the spreading forth of the light of Binah. (Shaar HaYichud, the Holy Rabbi Dov Ber of Lubavitch) The concept of Tevunah (תבונ ...
The writer of this article is not a believer in Maran Yeshua. Never the less his insights about Mashiach are well worth reading. HaShem gave to the Jewish people insight on His ways and how He truly operates, even if they may not understand it completely. We must remember that they are not rejecting Maran Yeshua the Rabbi, the Pharisee, the Zionist ...
To be a believer in our Rabbi Yeshua the Messiah is impossible without emuna (active faith), this element for a believer is the most essential along with love, and without it as our foundation, everything will be in vain and useless. So what is emuna? What role does it have in our life, and how can we obtain this blessed gift from God? The answer i ...
Following the steps of our Rabbi, Maran Rabbeinu Melech HaMashiach. Praying like our Master. Mark.1: 35. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Maran Yeshua) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. As believers it’s imperative that we follow the example of our Rabbi, Maran Yeshua the Messiah who li ...
This article is an attempt to express my thoughts on a “definition” of Messianic Judaism. As with many things, this “definition” requires that I explain what I believe Messianic Judaism is not before I tell you a little bit about what I think Messianic Judaism is. It is necessary that I say a word here about the “Messi ...

I decided to follow the path of Jesus when I was 5 yrs old because I thought it was a good thing to do, but my parents being secular they did not take me to Church, nor did we have a B ...

Techiyat hameitim means the resurrection of the dead. Rambam stated: "I believe with perfect faith that the dead will be brought back to life when God wills it to happen." (This is the 13th and last of Rambam’s Principles of Faith) Is there no hope for the dead? Is our life simply finished — over — when we die? No, not a ...
As we have learned from the introduction to the Emuna series, love is essential in our relationship with God and each other as believers in the God of Israel and our Rabbi Yeshua the Messiah, because love is the fullness of the Torah (Romans 13:10). As witnesses of Yeshua and His redemptive work in our lives as new creations, we need to pursue love ...
It depends on who Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua is! The Good News presents him as the Jewish Messiah (Yochanan 1:41,45, 49). If he’s not the Jewish Messiah, then no one should believe in Him because His credentials as “Savior of the World” are based on His credentials as the “Messiah of Israel”. If he is the true Messiah ...
