Our Vision
Congregation Zera Avraham is a community of Jews and intermarrieds who
believe that Yeshua is Israel's promised Messiah, and who seek to live as loyal
members of the Jewish people. We esteem Jewish tradition highly, and find within
it the veiled presence of the resurrected Rabbi from Nazareth, whose life is
forever bound to that of his people. We are also committed to Jewish continuity,
believing that the Most High has entered into an irrevocable covenant with
the Jewish people that forever connects the Divine Name to the people of the
covenant.
We aspire to live in such a way that the wider Jewish community can recognize
and honor its own mysterious bond with the resurrected Rabbi from Nazareth.
We also aim to strengthen Jewish identity among those whose Jewish affiliation
has become tenuous, so that they, their children, and their grandchildren may
fulfill their destiny as members of the people of the covenant.
We are grateful for the multitude of non-Jews who have come to know and
worship the God of Israel through the Christian Churches, and especially for those
among them who have learned to appreciate the ongoing significance of the
Jewish people and its tradition. We seek to be a corporate bridge for them, so
that their relationship to the people of Israel might be actualized practically through their relationship with us.
