Rabbinic Messianics remain within the bounds of traditional Judaism. We observe all halachah (Jewish law) and affirm the unity of G-d as central to our beliefs. Our view of Jesus aligns with Jewish messianic concepts of the Messiah of Joseph, seeing him not as a deity but as a historical figure who was the precursor to the future ultimate messianic era. We see his mission as being consistent with Torah and rabbinic teachings, framing his life as an extension of Jewish prophetic tradition (not departing from it).
Here are some common questions we get from both Jews and Christians regarding our beliefs. We will continually add to this list as needed.
