The MJRC

All Judaism is rooted in Torah, and central to the Torah are the Mitzvot (commandments). Jewish religious life has always been based on the establishment of a communal framework for interpreting, applying, and living out the Mitzvot. This should be no different for Messianic Jews, who acknowledge Yeshua as the heart of the Torah and its authoritative teacher. Yet, the Messianic Jewish movement has not yet established a communal framework for living out the Torah in Yeshua. In the MJRC we are beginning this essential task -- and I am proud to be part of it.
