“In our relationship to God we should be like servants who walk behind and follow their master, in order that we may be found worthy to reach the state of disciples, who walk with their master, later on” (Levertoff ). Our Master Himself teaches us in the parable of the wedding feast, “But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you” (Luke 14:10). Note the words of the prophet Micah: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8).

Through writing, speaking, and creative vision, I’ve served the faith community for 20 years. I serve through the ministries of
First Fruits of Zion and
Vine of David, which are leading voices in Messianic Judaism. The educational missions of both ministries challenge the status quo of today’s Church and also the Jewish views of Yeshua (Jesus). At times my role in these ministries makes me into a polarizing individual. This blog falls outside of those platforms and gives me an opportunity to share my thoughts on family, social issues, Israeli politics, and everyday life.
