Messianic Judaism

Messianic Judaism is a religious movement that combines elements of Judaism with the belief that Jesus (Yeshua) is the promised Messiah. Adherents, often Jewish and Gentile alike, observe Jewish traditions, celebrate Jewish holidays, and retain aspects of Jewish identity while believing in the teachings and resurrection of Jesus. They emphasize the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) alongside the New Testament. This movement seeks to affirm the Jewish roots of Christianity and promote faith in Jesus, viewing him as the fulfillment of biblical prophecies regarding the Messiah. Messianic Judaism exists in a complex relationship with both traditional Judaism and Christianity.
