Jewish Tenets/Beliefs

There are fundamental beliefs (Cornerstones of Judaism) that are deeply rooted in the Jewish Culture. The Jewish people look at life as a unit or one whole and their religious convictions and daily life are not two separate entities, but one to be lived out on a daily basis. Apostolic Christianity is rooted in Biblical Judaism and many of the insights held today among religious Jews were also discussed and taught by Paul, G-d’s Jewish emissary to the Gentiles and author of over 2/3 of the New Testament.

If you want to enhance your relationship with G-d while expanding your personal knowledge of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the New Testament. You will not want to miss these life-changing lectures that reveal remarkable insights into the teachings of Abraham, Moses, David, Y’shua (Jesus), the Apostles, and especially Paul.

Fredrick Nietche, one of the most influential thinkers of modernity concluded that the greatest tragedy for the Church is that it fostered the illusion “that it had any truth apart from the House of Israel and that Paul’s Christology (Messiology) wasn’t Jewish.” Furthermore, he reveals that Paul was potentialized Judaism, he was everything Judaism was to become.

Introduction to Jewish Biblical Studies:

In this exciting four week course you will learn: the difference between Greek and Hebrew logic, the four modes of scriptural interpretation, and an overview of the five major covenants of the Bible.

Jewish Biblical Studies 101: The Avrahamic Covenant

The Avrahamic Covenant is the central covenant upon which salvation history is rooted. During this course we will take an in-depth look into this covenant as it pertains to:

The Conscience; The Covenant of Circumcision; The Inheritance of the Land of Israel; and The Royal Priesthood.

Jewish Biblical Studies 102: Tikun Olam

“Tikkun Olam” means, “repairing the world through holiness.” How important are our works? James said, “Faith without works is dead.” In an hour when lawlessness is escalating in American society, Israel and around the world, we need to look at eternal truths that invoke and manifest righteousness in the earth. The grace of G-d reigns through righteousness—and if we possess the righteousness G-d has imputed unto us through faith and obedience to His Word, then we must manifest that righteousness in our daily living.

Jewish Biblical Studies 103: Tzinuit (for women)

Tzinuit. Modesty is one of the most mis-understood and yet the most beautiful subjects in both the Christian and Jewish religious worlds. Modesty is the character trait that produces a “meek and quiet” spirit which is of great price in the sight of G-d. Learn the secrets behind tzinuit and apply them to your soul and watch your life blossom.

Jewish Biblical Studies 104: The Shema

The Shema and Monotheism is the main anchor of the Jewish Faith. How does Monotheism fit into the doctrinal tenets of Christianity or does it? This four week course examines the G-dhead from a Jewish perspective.

Have you questioned how the G-dhead works? Have you ever wondered who to pray too? This course will explore all this and more.

Jewish Biblical Studies 105: Torah Study.

The place of the “Torah” within Christianity is one that spans both the Tanakh and central ideals of Christianity. We have often said, “We are not under the law, but under grace.” For the most part, the concept of understanding what it means to “be under the law” is a foreign concept in the non-Jewish world. This course covers:

Understanding the Torah:
Torah and the New Testament
Overview of the Oral Law (Talmud, Mishneh, Kaballah)
The differences between Rabbinical and Biblical Judaism

Weekly Torah Classes (for men and for women)

Morning for women
Evening for men

Each week will look at the Torah and Prophetic portions of the Bible taught in the synagogue every Sabbath. We will also look at any NT connections that may exist.
