    Jews for Judaism...please advice needed...

    Well I survived. I basically took simchat_torah's advice and stayed quiet. The Rabbi seemed really nice. I thought he was going to yell at me or something, but instead he told me to make sure to study both sides of the story before I jump. He also invited me to an Orthodox home for Shabbat, so...

    Jews for Judaism...please advice needed...

    Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will get some more before tomorrow, when we meet. I have to say they work rather fast. :eek: Ummmm... I am still not really sure what I believe. I do go to a messianic place, and because this is the net, and there can be hundreds of strangers reading this...

    Jews for Judaism...please advice needed...

    I have been reading this board for a while but don't post much, mostly because I am just so confused. I am home for spring break and I was talking to my sister, and she found out that I had been going to a messianic congregation. She freaked out and told my parents, who then sat me down and...

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    I hope everyone had a good shabbat. I went to the messianic congregation with my friend again today, and while it is different for me, it wasn't as weird as the first time. My mom called just a little bit ago, and somehow it came out that I went to a messianic place of worship today. She...

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    I am somewhere between Conservative and Orthodox. My parents were not religous at all, though my grandparents saw that I got some training. Now that I am somewhat on my own I can explore more. Where should I start? Rachel

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    I have prayed some about this, and I just don't see why rabbi's wouldn't say that yeshua isn't the messiah if he really is. I have gone though 1/2 the posts here so I will keep looking. Also I don't have to keep all of the 613 laws, some don't apply to me. I don't mean to cause trouble I just...

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    I must think about this stuff. I was also under the impression that there are other ways mentioned in the TNK that a person can do for atonement, like prayer. So right now I need help understand how yeshua could be an atonement for me if he wasn't an animal, and he wasn't sacrificed in the...

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    Oh..I didn't realize that they would be different. So if they have some messianic shuls that are Orthodox how are they different from say an orthodox shul I might attend on shabbos? If there is no difference then what is this thing with yeshua?? :confused:

    Q for those raised Jewish...

    HI! I am Jewish and I have a friend who keeps telling me that I need to have yeshua. I just do not understand why. I went to a messianic congregation to visit and it did not seem Jewish to me, and most of the people there were not even Jewish. So this is my question. If you were raised Jewish...
