Supporting Israeli Believers In Yeshua (Jesus)

Happy New Year! (Jewish Style)

Rosh Hashanah (ראש השנה ‎), literally means "head of the year." It is the Jewish New Year and begins the annual High Holidays or "Days of Awe." Rosh Hashanah is celebrated for ten days before Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). It is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar (September 28, 2011). It is described in the Torah as a day of happily blowing the Shofar (very loudly)!

It is believed the names of the righteous (those having lived a good life the previous year) are inscribed in the book of life," when God evaluates their deeds. All are allowed ten days (until Yom Kippur), to repent and become righteous; and the wicked are believed to be "blotted out of the book of the living.”

As Messianic Jewish believers in the Messiah, we enjoy our traditions and identify with our people, however, we do not need 10 days to remember and repent of sins committed over the past year. We know that our Atonement has already come. . . His name is Yeshua!

Rosh Hashanah marks the start of a new year in the Hebrew calendar, is considered the new year for people and legal contracts, as well. The day is also the new year for calculating calendar years and sabbatical and jubilee years. Many say Rosh Hashanah represents (figuratively or literally) the creation of the World.

Following Rosh Hashanah are Yom Kippur, and the festival of Sukkot (Tabernacles) and is referred to as "the time of our joy." Enjoy apples dipped in honey and delicious Honey cake!


When you make the decision to partner with the MJIF, your support goes directly to those serving Yeshua (Jesus), but unfortunately, there are too few ministries or individuals that have made these Saints a priority. We whole heartedly stand with our brothers and sisters against great odds, especially considering most are not accepted or welcomed among their countrymen due to their faith in Yeshua! The MJIF made the commitment long ago to follow the Lord’s command to bless the poor. We stand with those on the edge of poverty and beyond, and we believe in “teaching a man to fish,” (job training of some sort) allowing him/her to be able to support their own family. Your financial “gifts of love” not only provide for the physical needs of our people, but also help to spread the Gospel to the lost.

The Messianic Jewish Israel Fund (MJIF) is more excited today than at any other time in our history! Why? Because we strongly believe that God is about to do something astonishing in that Land…and with that people! Won’t you join us in this expression of God’s heart?

We invite you to become a “Partner in Good Works” with the MJIF and be a part of what God is about to do with the Jewish people!

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you… Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
~Isaiah 60:1,3
