Jesus lives on in Jerusalem

Thousands of Messianic Jews reside in Israel, perform Jewish ceremonies and serve in IDF

Some 15,000 Messianic Jews currently live in Israel, but if you saw one on the street you would almost certainly fail to recognize any difference. They honor Jewish circumcision, bar-mitzvah, and wedding ceremonies, but believe Jesus is the messiah.

 

The small community of Yad Hashmona, near Jerusalem, is home to a number of Messianic-Jewish families. They believe in Jesus – or Yeshua, as they call him – and in the teachings of the New Testament as well as the old. They are Jews in every sense, but for the most part keep this side of their faith to themselves. When these families gather for the Shabbat meal, however, Jesus is the guest star at their table.

Thanks Olivet.

Would be interesting to know how many Messianics live in all of Israel now. The number does keep growing, I think, although, yet small.
