MJTI May Update

MJTI is continuing to grow as an organization. This month, we hired a new social media director to help us grow our online presence and disseminate a well-kept secret: that we are a Messianic Jewish center of education, where we train rabbis and others how to live in Jewish space with a Yeshua-centered mindedness. We have some of the best teachers the Messianic Jewish world offers and a high grade excellent curriculum managed by super-competent administrators. We have scholarship monies available. Help us spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and look for our renewed activity on those platforms.

Please consider saving up for the Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) offering. If each one of us puts one dollar a day in a jar until Shavuot (50 days) and sends it to MJTI, it would go a long way to enhancing our programs. Click here to donate now. With your help we will balance the budget and move forward in faith for all the plenty that God has in store for us.

For more updates, read our 2019 Year-End Letter or about MJTI at the UMJC conference.

The Story Behind the Posner Menorah

Light Over Might

Hanukkah is about fighting for political autonomy and religious freedom… right? With our contemporary values, it can actually be difficult to examine the Hanukkah narrative to understand some of the more challenging elements. Rabbi Paul Saal takes a look.

Vayeshev: The Winding Road to Messiah

There are many injustices in the story of Joseph, from his father’s favoritism provoking his brothers’ violent jealousy to the cupbearer forgetting Joseph in prison. How are we supposed to feel in the face of disappointment? Rabbi Elliot Klayman breaks down this week’s parasha.

Favor Elevates Its Giver

After the drama of Jacob stealing Esau’s birthright and blessing—and then absconding to Paddan-aram for 20 years—this week’s parasha sees Jacob having to reunite with his estranged brother. What can this surprising moment of reconciliation show us about our relationships today?

Vayeitzei: The Continuing Journey

The patriarchal narrative continues in this week’s parasha, Vayeitzei (Genesis 28:10 – 32:3). We find Jacob on his way tp Haran, seemingly in an attempt to get away from his justifiably-angry elder twin brother Esau, after Jacob had stolen Esau's blessing from their...
