Why MJTI?

MJTI is the world’s only fully online graduate school for Messianic Jewish higher education.

The other day I got a note from an aspiring Messianic Jewish rabbi from Guadalajara, Mexico. He desires ordination as a rabbi, but cannot travel outside of his own country to study.

A couple of weeks ago I received a similar message from a man in a similar position living in Jerusalem. Until a few days prior he had never heard of the Messianic Jewish Theological Institute.

Both are excited. They want a top-notch education, but both have travel limitations. Thankfully, MJTI’s unique position as the only fully online Messianic Jewish graduate school is exactly what they need to further their education, their careers, and their life of faith. In fact, the gentleman from Jerusalem has already applied and has been accepted!

As the new academic year begins, our staff is excited. New and returning students from around the globe will be filling virtual seats. We’re proud to be able to overcome geographic barriers with a little technology, a bit of passion, and a whole lot of faith. It’s such a great joy to be able to offer MJTI’s sophisticated, well-rounded, passion-filled, Jewishly authentic, Messiah-centered programs to these two gentlemen and others around the world.

Why MJTI?

Because from Guadalajara to Jerusalem and beyond, you can study with us—anywhere there is a solid internet connection.

A Reflection on Divine Authority

On the one hand, knowing that we have a faithful God is incredibly reassuring! On the other hand, accepting His authority over our lives is incredibly difficult.

The Story Behind the Posner Menorah

You may have seen the iconic photo of a Hanukkah menorah defiantly in the window across from a Nazi flag. For the Hanukkah edition of This Month in Jewish History, Dr. Stan Meyer shares the story behind the photo and how it still touches our lives today.

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...

The Path Behind and the Road Ahead: A New Journey
