Hello there. I haven't visited this section much, and in fact know very little about Messianic Judaism. I am an Eastern Orthodox (Greek Archdiocese) Christian. My question is in regards to the Eucharist, or Communion. Do the Messianic Jews hold this practice also, and if so, how is it approached?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Question for you.

It really depends on which Messianic congregation one attends. Some fully partake in communion, other's view communion as a part of Passover, and others do not view it as an instituted practice.
So I suppose it depends on who you ask.
Shalom,
Yafet.

My congregation does this once a month and on other special occasions. However I believe that it was a fulfillment of the Pesache ritual that had been practiced since Egypt, and to be done during that time of the year. The reason was to tie the meaning permenently to what was taught in Egypt about the plan of salvation, starting with the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, and the unleavened bread. The blood was a covering to guard against death ( sin- angel of death) and the unleavened bread to represent sinlessness, in Yeshua later on, but then a representation of how the blood washes the sin away. When taken out of the Passover ritual I think it loses 90% of its meaning.
