Elav Conference: Arab Christian and Jewish Youth United Through the Messiah

Jewish-men-praying-Western-Wall-Kotel

September 1, 2011 Recently, youth and young adults who believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel gathered in Tel Aviv from all over Israel, Gaza and the world to worship God at the annual Elav (Unto Him) Conference. As in past years, Elav was held at a major rock concert venue in Tel Aviv called Hangar 11. Instead of rock music, however, worship and praise filled this huge warehouse for three days and nights. Young Arab Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) from Gaza and Bethlehem united with their Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters to seek the face of the God of Jacob with one voice and heart.

The Name of Yeshua
He Heals the Lame, by James Tissot

Recently, some of our readers have asked us why we use the name Yeshua in the place of Jesus. Other readers challenge us to use Yahshua instead of Yeshua, believing that Yah more accurately reflects the divine nature of Yeshua and is the correct way to pronounce the name of the Jewish Messiah. Still others think the real name of Yeshua is the derogatory Yeshu. Which is correct?

Yeshua and the Lives of 1st-Century Jewish Believers
Yeshua Teaches People by the Sea, by James Tissot

Throughout His lifetime, Yeshua worshiped in the Temple in Jerusalem and consistently attended the synagogues where He participated in the Torah readings, giving His own teachings on Scripture. Like Him, the first-century Jewish Believers in Yeshua also maintained their faith in an authentically Jewish context.

The Shabbat: Keeping It Holy
Shabbat_Candles

Life seems to come to a standstill on Friday nights in Israel. As the cool of the evening sweeps in, a calm announces the Shabbat - day of rest. There is nothing that more personifies Judaism and the Jewish People than the Jewish Sabbath. The Shabbat has been kept as the one day of the week devoted to rest ever since it was given as law to the Israelites by Moses.

Counting the Omer

Today, is Pesach Sheni (Second Passover). This second Passover falls exactly 30 days after the day on which the Korban Pesach (Passover lamb) was brought to the Temple to be slaughtered for the Passover Seder and eaten in the evening with matzah (unleavened bread) and herbs. This holiday is unique from every other Jewish holiday. God provided it as a day of second chances in response to the plea of the Israelites who couldn’t keep Pesach (Passover) just like they had in Egypt the year before because they had become tamai (ritually unclean).

Are These End-Time Signs?

In the wake of last week’s devastating Oklahoma tornado, our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of Moore, Oklahoma, many of whom have lost everything. A massive EF4 twister cut a 20-mile path of destruction across this US town of 55,000, packing wind speeds of up to 200 miles per hour (320 kph). As children hid in closets and clung to walls, two schools were leveled. Many houses were also totally demolished. At least 24 people died and many more were injured. Oklahoma was not the only state to be hit in an outbreak of tornados.
