There is a common misconception that it is not Jewish to believe that Yeshua ben David is the Messiah. This is a misguided myth. When Yeshua lived in Israel, all his followers were Jewish. In the first century, after his death and resurrection the first Messianic followers were mostly Jewish and were zealous for Torah. They understood that he was the fulfillment and embodiment of Torah. They continued all the requirements that Torah called for such as circumcision, kashrut, celebrating Shabbat and the Biblical. Today, Messianic Jews live much the same way. 

Normative Jews often denigrate Jews who believe in Yeshua and consider them stricken, outcast or dead. Messianic Jews are often accused of living as Jews simply to deceive the larger Jewish community in the hopes of ultimately converting them to another religion. While it can be said that Hebrew Christians do exactly that, it is not the case in the Messianic Jewish community. Belief in the Jewish Messiah should bring Jews closer to the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov not assimilate them into another religion our culture.

MJCC does not attempt to convert Jews to Christianity. MJCC is living proof that a Jewish person can believe in Yeshua Ha Mashiach and remain fully Jewish and live a Jewish life. Messianic followers have had numerous experiences of being physically beaten, spit on, and terrorized by ‘normative Jews’ for their faith in Messiah. A people who have undergone such persecution throughout history should not persecute their own. MJCC engages in various efforts and initiatives to combat such spiritual bigotry.
