Intro to Biblical Worldview class is required for all students

Class Title: Introduction to a Biblical Worldview and Hebraic Thinking 

The Bible was written for us but not to us. The scriptures were given to us from a unique perspective and during an ancient time period. This course takes the student into the heart of the Bible's Hebraic ways, culture and interpretation. The student will gain a Hebraic thinking pattern and be able to better discern the application of the scriptures.

How did Yeshua live and study? What would Yeshua do? Let's find out. 

Class Times: Tuesday Morning 10 AM-12:00 PM OR Wednesday Evening 6:30 PM-8:30 PM

Teacher: Rabbi Jeff Friedlander

Class Title: The Messiah Mosaic 

Woven throughout the fabric of the Hebrew Bible is a narrative about the redemption of mankind. The threads begin in Genesis and weave throughout the entirety of the scriptures.

Yeshua (Jesus), revealed his identity by using the Torah, the prophets and the writings of the Hebrew Bible. But where does the Torah state that a man would die for all other mankind? Is blood atonement by a man a New Testament theology? How do we answer the skeptics of the Bible in speaking of a messiah who claimed to be G-d?

This course will take the student through the scriptures, beginning in Genesis to discover how G-d announces Himself to the world. We will follow the Biblical narrative to uncover the Messiah embedded in the pages revealing the promised Jewish Messiah.

The student will gain a deep Biblical understanding  of Hebraic thought which will enhance their  personal relationship with Messiah. The student will be empowered to share the good news just as Yeshua did from the Tanakh.  

Class Times: Tuesday 10 AM-12:00 PM OR Wednesday 6:30 PM-8:30 PM

Teacher: Sherri Friedlander Prerequisite: Must have completed Intro to Biblical Worldview and Hebraic Thinking. 

Class Title: The Way: Restoring the Olive Tree

Adonai’s plan is that we, Jewish and Non-Jewish in the Body of Messiah Yeshua, reconcile after a great breach.  The breach began in the Garden, found expression throughout Tanakh (Hebrew Bible commonly referred to as Old Testament,) and widened during Yeshua’s lifetime.  Ensuing events over the past 2000 years have fractured Jewish and Non-Jewish relations so much so that reconciliation can appear an impossibility.  However, in G-d, all things are possible.

This course examines in detail:

  • The scriptures prophesying the breach.

  • The historical events that ripped Yeshua’s followers from “all things Hebraic.” 

  • The resulting atrocities such as the Crusades and the Holocaust.

  • Replacement Theology to current expressions of anti-Semitism.

  • The Jewish responses to all of this.

  • The Biblical future of restoration.

As dire as the situation now seems, G-d has provided for us a roadmap to reconciliation.  Do we understand the relevant scriptures?  Are our hearts prepared to honestly assess what we’ve been taught via text-critical analysis overlaying historical accounts?  Are we, Jew and Non-Jew alike, prepared to undergo the reflection that leads to repentance, confession, and forgiveness?  Only than will we step into our G-d appointed role as ONE in Messiah Yeshua, ONE in the Olive Tree.
