Class: Sharing the Jewish Messiah with the Jewish People

Wednesday Nights, January 6 - March 31, 2010, from 6-7:15PM

Do God’s Chosen People need Jesus? Dr. Michael Herts will help deepen your understanding of the Jewish roots of faith in the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), Messianic Judaism, Rabbinic (traditional) Judaism, and Jewish people. This class will teach tactful ways to discuss spiritual topics, and effectively share the love of Messiah with both Jew and Gentile.

This class is taught in partnership with the sponsoring church's Discipleship classes.

All are welcome to attend.

JWe had a great evening of fun, food, and festivities. We learned the story of how one scared lady saved her people.

We ate Hamentaschen, twirled a grogger, and dressed as our favorite character from the story of Esther.

We welcomed in the Sabbath, lit the menorah, celebrated the Feast of Dedication, played dreydel, ate gelt and latkes and jelly doughnuts and everything else in sight, and learned how this Holy Day relates to Yeshua (Jesus) the light of the world.

In December Messianic Rabbi (Dr.) Sam Nadler, President of Word of Messiah Ministries, and Leader of Hope of Israel Congregation in Charlotte, North Carolina presided over the Semikhah (ordination) of our Fellowship Leader, Dr. Michael Herts.

In November our Fellowship's second Bar Mitzvah was called to the Torah. He read the parashat from Torah and even gave the message. Mazel Tov Samuel!!!

We discussed how the Word became Flesh and Tabernacled among us (John 1:14). We incorporated the Lulav and Etrog into our service, and had a wonderful fellowship meal.

It is good to know in Messiah that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Galilee of the Nations recording artist Ted Pearce teamed up with German Pastor Jobst Bittner and led us in worshipping the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob. They brought a powerful message of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile.

We celebrated the day where Moses first came down Mt. Sinai with G-d's Commandments, where the Word of G-d was inscribed on stone tablets. On that same day hundreds of years later, we saw in the Brit Chadeshah (Newer Covenant) Acts Chapter 2, the Word of G-d was inscribed on the hearts of those who believe in Yeshua.

We had a wonderful evening of worship dance, going through the Passover Haggadah, great food and fellowship. We experienced how the Passover elements and ceremony speak of G-d's redemption. We discovered how the entire meal and service is an object lesson about how true redemption is found in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, the "Lamb of G-d who takes away the sin of the world."

About Us

B’nai Avraham Messianic Fellowship is a place where Jews and Gentiles can worship the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), within a Jewish context. We proclaim that Am Yisrael Chai B’Yeshua HaMoshiach, “The people of Israel live in Jesus the Messiah.”

In Genesis 12:2-3, G-d promises that He would make Abraham a great nation and through Abraham all the nations of the earth would be blessed. This promise of G-d’s blessing includes not only his physical descendents, the Jewish people, but all the other people groups (i.e., gentiles). Today, most congregations that believe in Yeshua are predominantly gentile and the cultural context is, at times, not comfortable for Jewish believers who want to express their faith in the Messiah within a Jewish context.

Come join us! Celebrate the biblical Holy Days in a messianic frame of reference, and learn about scripture from a messianic perspective. This is a place where Jewish, Gentile, intermarried, or the curious, can feel welcomed, enjoy interesting people and learn more about G-d.

We are affiliated with the Association of Messianic Congregations and the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship.

Messianic Rabbi (Dr.) Michael Herts grew up in a Conservative Jewish home and has been a Messianic Jew since the Spring of 1981. He has held leadership roles in various congregational settings. Since 2002 he has had the privilege of preaching and doing Passover presentations in congregations from North Carolina to the Pennsylvania border. He received his Semikhah (ordination) in 2009. He is the husband of a retired United States Air Force Colonel and practicing physician and the father of three wonderful children. He earned a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.), and a Master of Education (M.Ed.). He is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and practices in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
