The Hebrew4Christians web site provides a resource for the Church regarding its rich Hebraic heritage by promoting Jewish literacy among all those who claim Jesus Christ as their Lord. I believe this is important today for many reasons, but especially because many people in the church today are unaware of the inherent Jewishness of their heritage, and sadly this reflects in many misinterpretations regarding the Scriptures. Jesus was (and is) a Jew, and to be a follower of Him implies learning about the Jewish people -- their culture, their language, and their way of understanding the Scriptures.
In addition to the web site, the Hebrew4Christians online forum constitute an interactive “chavurah” (fellowship) for Messianic Jews and Christians who are actively engaged in the study of the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. We learn from one another by asking questions about Biblical Hebrew, Jewish culture, the Jewish holidays, the role of the Torah in the life of the Messianic Jew, the observance of various Jewish customs, etc., and we try to encourage and support one another in our studies.
