I was thrilled by the spirit of celebration I found during my recent trip to Israel! Between the moving of America’s embassy to Jerusalem (marking an important recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital) and the 70th anniversary of Israel’s founding, the joy seemed apparent everywhere. For Orthodox Jews, secular Israelis and Messianic Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) – it seemed everyone was rejoicing over these historic events. But there was perhaps one exception. One group in Israel fin...

President Donald Trump frequently “goes off script,” and his impromptu remarks tend to send the media into a frenzy. Last week’s White House press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte was such an occasion. When Trump was asked by a reporter if he’d be willing to talk with Iran’s leadership without preconditions, he said, “If they want to meet, we’ll meet.” The statement set off alarms worldwide. Despite Israel’s renowned intelligence skills, the international media claime...

At the peak of Israel’s tourist season, children and parents scrambled out of the Sea of Galilee last week as two ISIS rockets splashed down and exploded, creating a “blast wave” at Israel’s popular Gofra Beach. Eye Witness Accounts “There were two explosions, and we saw (many) people leave the water,” one eastern-shore resident said. “We heard a boom that caused a strong wave in the water.” A lifeguard at a nearby beach reported seeing ‘something fall’ into the water. “I ...

“I’ve never seen that many people brought in on stretchers!” That’s what one of our Jewish Voice Global Outreach team members said after last year's Outreach to Mudanda, Zimbabwe. Many makeshift stretchers – over every shape and form – were made from branches or other easily available materials, quickly assembled to help carry the seriously ill to our Medical Clinic for much-needed medical care. At the same Mudanda Clinic, we also witnessed a number of healings and miracles. The Lord reach...

Thank you for transforming lives through your love and compassion! Here’s how your generous support is being multiplied to transform even more lives It seems obvious that lives are immediately transformed when a Jewish Voice Medical Clinic gives someone back their sight through cataract surgery. Or provides clean, healthy water. Or treats a serious and painful dental infection. But sometimes Jewish Voice Clinics transform people’s lives in ways that are more than just immediate. Somet...

Few people in the West know what an amazing and historic country Ethiopia is ­– or why we care so much about some very special Ethiopian people. For example, did you know: The earliest evidence of modern humans was found in Ethiopia. It’s believed these early people migrated from Ethiopia to populate the Middle East and areas beyond. Ethiopia’s ancient script, known as Ge’ez, is believed to be the oldest alphabet still in use in the world. Tradition holds that the Queen of Sheb...

The man moved skillfully across the field. The uneven earth he traveled was packed hard, more dirt than grass. He wore white tennis shoes on his feet – and blue sandals on his hands. He’d learned to walk on his hands and feet long enough ago that he was adept at his squatting shuffle. The plastic slide-ons were burnished smooth by the heels of his hands rather than his feet. One of these “walking gloves” had broken off short with use. What remained had torn apart by the ill-fitting pressure of h...

This is our gift to you and your family because we appreciat...

Prayers and blessings are fundamental to Jewish worship, and therefore to worship in Messianic Judaism as well. The Siddur (SID-dur), the Jewish prayer book, contains prayers and blessings used as liturgy in daily and special services at synagogue. Such liturgy is often misunderstood among Believers who may view standardized prayers as empty ritual. However, with any element of worship – whether prayer, song or Scripture reading – the liturgy is a tool to evoke worship. Worship occurs in the ...
