We know that many of you are interested in Messianic Jews in Israel, so we repost this report for you to “stay informed, pray informed.”
Tiferet Yeshua is a Hebrew-speaking Messianic Jewish congregation in Tel Aviv. (Tiferet means honor/splendor.) Nine years ago the congregation applied for tax-exempt status as a non-profit organization. In October of 2020, their request was rejected by the Knesset, as Israel Today reported. Tiferet Yeshua appealed, and last year the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in their favor.
Ron Cantor, former leader of the Congregation Tiferet Yeshua, says:
”Moshe Gafni, an anti-missionary, ultra-Orthodox member of the Knesset and head of the Finance Committee at the time, rejected the tax-deductible donation status for Tiferet Yeshua. He had the support of the opposition as well, led by then new Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid. Sadly, it seems the one thing that [the Knesset]… can agree on is to deny basic rights to Messianic Jewish Israelis.”

thanks—- i appreciate the Messianic jews who believe in Yeshua as the Messiah– and i am amazed at Isaiah 53— and the several verses on a Pierced Messiah== ed Barnes in usa
This is fantastic to read, toda raba!
As typified by the story of Yosef, Jewry by and large was ordained by G-d to reject the Messiah (otherwise, the New Covenant wouldn’t have been extended to the Gentiles).
Had Israel not rejected Yosef, all the Egyptians would have died; the blindness was God-ordained to enable the salvation of Gentiles.
I feel this truth is often neglected, but it is important to see.
In the end, when Yosef finally revealed himself to his brethren, he warmly embraced them. And that’s what Yeshua will do with his, i.e., with the entirety of the Jewish people.
