Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us via e-mail or by phone, if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Are you a Christian or Jewish?

I'm a Sephardic Jew who believes in Yeshua (Jesus) the Jewish Messiah, which makes me a Messianic Jew. Though mainstream Jewish denominations typically do not recognize us as being Jewish, viewing us more as a Christian sect.

Messianic Jews consider themselves Jewish Christians. Specifically they believe, as do all Christians, that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Son of God, as well as the Messiah, and that he died in atonement for the sins of mankind. There are approximately 175,000 to 250,000 messianic Jews in the U.S, and 350,000 worldwide.

Many Messianic Jews are also charismatic, and practice speaking in tongues (I Corinrthians 12). This makes them similar to Pentecostal Christians. They believe that the Holy Spirit's gift of healing also continues today.

Are you a Rabbi or Pastor?

In 1995 I was ordained as a licensed minister and then in 2010, as a pastor. After receiving all of my ordinations, I planted a church. Yet, somehow I knew that it wouldn't be for long. God called me into a different ministry.

In the year 2016, the Lord opened up a door of opportunity to minister overseas, as a missionary. It was a experience that I will never forget. There, the Lord used me mightily in many ways. To Him be praised!

I still minister in churches whenever given the opportunity. Nevertheless, these days I'm more focused on street evangelism and try to tell Jews and Gentiles about Jesus: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" (Matthew 9:37).

That's not to say that I'm not open to what God will do with me. If it be His will to travel again, so be it. Yet, it has to be Him who's sending. Over the years, I've been invited to many nations, but I haven't accepted every invite.

Do you follow the Torah?

Yes, of course, but thru New Testament (New Covenant) lenses. In fact, we believe in the Triune God. One God (Deut. 6:4). For example, Messianic Jews who affirm the Trinity hold that God exists as one Being, yet reveals Himself as three distinct Persons — Father, Son (Yeshua), and Holy Spirit. This position draws on certain passages of Scripture that hint at plurality within the Godhead.

Salvation is through Messiah, but Torah still has value for our lives. As Jewish followers of Yeshua (Jesus), we value our Jewish identity. And that includes believing in the ongoing value of the Torah. With a few exceptions, Messianic believers generally consider the written Torah, the five books of Moses, to remain in force as a continuing covenant, revised by Jesus and the Apostles in the New Testament, that is to be observed both morally and ritually.

Do you believe the Oral Law?

I read it, yes. Follow its principles, no.

The oral law was written by sages, not the Holy Spirit. Messianic Jews generally reject the authority of the Oral Law (Talmud/Rabbinic tradition) again, as divinely inspired, prioritizing the written Torah and the New Testament as the sole authoritative Word of God.

While respecting Jewish tradition, they often view the Oral Law as contrary to scripture, arguing that it is not binding and should not be placed on the same level as the written Bible. Arguably, Jesus levels a well-deserved criticism against the legalism of the Oral Torah, an excessive preoccupation with fine details of halachah to the point of ignoring the noble purpose and meaning of Torah.

Do you observe the Sabbath?

Yes, I do. Shabbat Shalom! However, New Testament (NT) believers generally honor the Sabbath not as a legalistic requirement, but as a day for rest, worship, and spiritual renewal, with many shifting focus to Sunday, the "Lord’s Day," to celebrate the Resurrection. While some denominations strictly observe Saturday, most NT Christians believe the Sabbath is fulfilled in Messiah (Christ), making it a matter of freedom rather than a binding command.

The reality is that the book of Acts, the inspired, primary record of the first-century Church, shows clearly that Christ’s followers continued to systematically keep the seventh-day Sabbath—never Sunday. For instance, Acts 13 says that Paul “went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down…. Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand” he began to preach the Gospel to them (vv. 13–16). But notice what happened next. “When the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath” (Acts 13:42).

Have you even been to Israel?

Yes, I have. In the year 2006. After returning from Israel, God spoke to my heart and reminded me not to forget or totally abandon my Jewry. So, I embraced Messianic Judaism as an act of obedience. This great and wonderful experience was the beginning of this ministry.

Although I consider myself Messianic, the experience is something called, Baal teshuva, which is a Jewish person who regardless of their upbringing, turns towards a more observant, traditional, or Orthodox lifestyle. Moreover, the term literally means, "Master of repentance."

Yet, as the Apostle Paul, I'm a Jew who practices Christianity. These are two of my favorite verses: "...And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. ( I Cor. 9:20, 22, KJV).
