We are a bridge between Christian and traditional Jewish congregations. We are dedicated to breaking down the “dividing wall of hostility” (Eph 2:14) between Jew and non-Jew. Messianic congregations are part of both communities as they practice the Torah and believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as Savior.”. In keeping with that idea, we are planning to add some articles to our website.
Our Jewish brothers and sisters distrust Christians and the Christian Messiah and our Christian brothers and sisters don’t keep Torah. The consequence of all this is that Jews and Christians are not receiving all the blessings that Abba has set aside for them AND, at the same time, they are receiving curses from Abba for their disobedience.
We hope you will read our articles, critically. We hope you, like the Bereans, will “receive the word with all readiness and search out the scriptures” so you can evaluate our articles. (Acts 17:10–12)
The goals of the articles we’re planning, is to explain why we do what we do without condemning others for their doctrines. Since everyone’s time is valuable, we intend to make the articles quick to read - 1000 words maximum length. Before publishing to our website, the articles will have to be approved by Kehilat B’nai Shalom’s Board of Directors.
If you would like to help with this, please sign up for B’nai Shalom’s Google Group at http://bnai-shalom.googlegroups.com/. This makes administering discussion and the writing easier for me. If you’ve never used a discussion group before, the system uses e-mail without giving away your email address. This is an anti-spam and pro-privacy feature. Also, we use this Google Group to send news to members of the shul.
Below is a list of the topics we have so far. If you would like to suggest a subject for an article we would certainly like to know your thoughts. If you would like to write or help write articles, we value your help. Topics can be combined for an article, instead of single subject articles. Let the Lord lead you.
