Messianic Jewish quest: Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people from all walks of life, who believe that Yeshua is the promised Jewish Messiah and chief Rabbi for Israel and the world. Messianic Jews have not stopped being Jewish. On the contrary, we have continued to remain strongly Jewish in our identity, lifestyle and belief that Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah and the fulfillment of true Biblical Judaism.Tumblr (3.0; @messianicquest)http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/Weekly Sidra: Ki Tavo (When you come) Torah Portion: Devarim / Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8 Haftorah: Yeshayahu / Isaiah 60:1-60:22 The month of Elul is a time for reflection.  As the last month of the year we look back on our lives.  We seek to repent of any actions we have done and continue to draw near to HaShem by reading His word and performing mitzvot.

From the olive branch in the mouth of the dove in Noah&#8217;s time to the Emissary Shaul; the use of the olive tree as a symbol of Israel and the engrafted non-Jews everywhere you look and you will encounter the olive tree; its branches, leaves, sprigs, oil, fruit, roots and pits; all usefulness and symbolic. There are two varieties of olive tree, the cultivated variety Olea europaea sativa and the wild variety Olea europaea oleaster.<p><a href="http://bethaderech.com/under-the-olive-tree-and-not-the-christmas-tree/">Read more &#8230; Messianic Jewish Toronto</a></p>http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30540216555http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30540216555Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:08:49 -0400Torah 24/7, the weekly Torah portion all at the convenience of your computer. Please keep our website marked so that you can get more articles concerning our hope, Melech HaMashiach. Torah is the Hebrew word meaning teaching. It&#8217;s root means to throw or shoot an arrow.?

But why are we living? What are we doing in this world? What are we straving for? What are our goals after we die? To find the answers to these central questions we must look in the very book of life itself – the Torah, which is called Torat Chaim (a living Torah). The word “Torah” means “instruction” or“guidance”, for the Torah is our guide in life (Torah strictly speaking is the first five Books of the<p><a href="http://bethaderech.com/what-is-lifes-purpose/">Read more &#8230; Messianic Jewish Toronto</a></p>http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30106949494http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30106949494Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:08:07 -0400Weekly Sidra: Shofetim (Judges) Torah Portion: Devarim / Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9 Haftorah: Yeshayahu / Isaiah 51:12-52:12 How welcome on the mountain Are the footsteps of the herald Announcing happiness, Heralding good fortune, Announcing victory, Telling Zion, &#8220;Your God is King!&#8221; (Isaiah 52:7) This week’s Torah portion speaks about what kind of ruler Israel should have. “14 If, after you have entered the land that the Lord your God has assigned<p><a href="http://bethaderech.com/hashem-is-king-hashem-melech/">Read more &#8230; Messianic Jewish Toronto</a></p>http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30053270653http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/30053270653Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:41:52 -0400Anyone can experience the Infinite Light, at least for a limited time. Just close your eyes and meditate on the fact that nothing exists but Bore Olam (the Creator of the universe), until you forget yourself completely. Then automatically all your sufferings will cease.

The Shema Yisrael, one of the most important Jewish prayers, encapsulates the monotheistic nature of Judaism.

Why doesn’t the Torah just tell us about the actual day of Shabbat? One possible reason is that the Torah is making clear that it is an obligation to work.

I am a Zionist. I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late.

The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct &#8216;Palestinian people&#8217; to oppose Zionism&#8221;. <p><a href="http://bethaderech.com/japanese-view-of-the-palestinians/">Read more &#8230; Messianic Jewish Toronto</a></p>http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/28762417883http://messianicquest.tumblr.com/post/28762417883Sun, 05 Aug 2012 08:45:33 -0400El Shaliaj (Emisario) Shimon Kefa (Pedro) y el Shaliaj Shaul (Pablo) son reconocidos como los hombres que introdujeron el cambio entre los seguidoress de Yeshua. Lo interesante es que ambos declararon por separado que Yeshua el Mesias no vino a establecer una nueva religion sino mas bien a cumplir todo lo que estaba escrito en los escritos profeticos de las Escrituras Hebreas o Tanach (ver Ma’asei Talmidim / Hechos 3:12-26 y 24:14).
