Messianic Jewish Institute News
MESSIANIC JEWISH INSTITUTE OF SAN DIEGOPurpose & GoalsSince 1981, Kehilat Ariel Messianic Synagogue has ministered to the Jewish community as well as the Christian community regarding the Jewish roots of the New Testament faith in Yeshua. As the Messianic Jewish community has continued to grow, many felt the need for further instruction in the Jewish roots of the Scriptures, both Tenach and New Covenant. It is for this purpose that the Messianic Jewish Institute of San Diego was founded in 1998. The Institute provides a comprehensive educational program specializing in the area of Jewish studies as it relates to the Bible. The goal of these studies is to equip students to have a fuller understanding of their personal faith and to strengthen their walk with Messiah. Likewise, the Institute provides a program of studies to prepare future leaders within the Messianic Jewish movement either as rabbis, leaders or lay workers. Whether you feel a call to full time ministry or simply want to enhance your personal spiritual growth, the Messianic Jewish Institute of San Diego offers a distinctive program to take you forward in your walk with Yeshua. Join us for these exciting classes as we rediscover the fullness of our heritage in the Messiah! Rabbi Barney Kasdan Photo:
