\nRebbetzin Judy is so refreshing. Beth Adonai really is the house of God. He is really there. No fanfare no hype just the amazing simplicity of God. I had never met people like my BA family before. I don\u2019t think I ever realized just how immature I was. I found myself desiring to \u201cgrow up\u201d more than ever when I joined the congregation. It\u2019s scary to know I spent ALL those years in churches with very little growth. I\u2019m glad my mom taught me by example the importance of reading the Bible and spending time with God. I can\u2019t imagine what is happening with people who rely only on the church.

When I was 21 years old I sat under a Jewish believer who taught on the book of Isaiah. His understanding of God’s word was so rich in the culture and traditions of its time. \u00a0I left there that night desiring to sit under this kind of teaching. \u00a0I wondered where would I find it? \u00a0For years I would tell people about this experience.\u00a0 Many years later a friend asked me to go to a Messianic Congregation that was having a concert. \u00a0I had no idea what a Messianic Congregation was. \u00a0I figured it was just for the Jewish people. \u00a0I went to the concert and witnessed worship like I had never seen before. \u00a0They danced and worshiped all evening. \u00a0At the end of the night I could not stand it any longer and I had to join in on the dancing. \u00a0It was refreshing to see so many people full of praise and worshiping from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet. \u00a0It was beautiful.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Weeks after the concert I started attending Congregation Beth Adonai. \u00a0\u00a0After much study and prayer it became obvious to me and I felt that the following of the Torah had been left out by the church. In studying God’s word I have seen that we have followed man’s plan instead of God’s. \u00a0Whereby He has commanded us to worship on Shabbat (Exodus 31:12 and Deut 5:12) , eat clean food (Lev. 11:1-47) and follow the holiday festivals (Zech. 14:27). \u00a0He told us over and over again that these traditions would be passed down from generation to generation.<\/div>\n

At Beth Adonai I am learning more about the olive tree I have been grafted into, as a gentile believer. \u00a0I have been grafted into this olive tree for a long time but I never knew much about it. Now that I am with the Jewish people my eyes are seeing and ears are hearing insights into God’s word that are overwhelming my spirit into tears, amazement, an awe at His great love for me. \u00a0God has always been telling me He loves me, but now it is being revealed to me that He is shouting His great love for me from the mountain tops and through the valleys! \u00a0It is because I am learning His word through the Hebrew culture and traditions. The deeper I go the richer I am becoming, in my view of God’s word. \u00a0The roots of my faith are growing stronger and this insight into God’s word is drawing me into a deeper relationship with Yeshua (Jesus). \u00a0I feel completed in following the Torah to Revelation as Yeshua did on earth (Matt 5:17). \u00a0I have eaten from many tables in studying God’s word and this is by far, the richest table I have ever eaten from. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0–<\/p>\n

My journey with Adonai started many years ago. \u00a0The first half of my life was very rebellious, in fact during my most sinful time God gave me a dream that seemed to be about the last days. \u00a0I was puzzled on why I should even have such a dream. \u00a0It seemed to be so vivid and was stuck in my head. That was my first dream in 1972. \u00a0As time went on the Lord kept drawing me to Him. \u00a0\u00a0I tried many churches, and had an up and down relationship with Adonai, but He still spoke to me with last day dreams that I really didn\u2019t understand at the time. \u00a0I finally settled down in a congregation that established my foundation.<\/p>\n

Adonai \u00a0has given me a heart for the poor and needy. \u00a0Fifteen years ago He blessed me with a husband who felt the same. We both went on mission trips to other countries and thought eventually we would do this full-time. \u00a0In 2002 the Lord showed me the mission field was right here in my own backyard. \u00a0I started Grace & Glory Garden, a ministry for abandoned, abused, and displaced women and children. \u00a0In 2006, it came to an abrupt halt when we discovered my husband had cancer. \u00a0He fought courageously for six months but died in my arms on the 4th of July. While my heart and spirit was broken the Lord led me to Beth Adonai through an old friend. \u00a0\u00a0She was very insistent about going because the Lord had prompted her to ask me. \u00a0I was just going for a visit and after getting there the Lord brought an old dream to my remembrance. \u00a0The rectangular brown brick building flashed me back to my dream. \u00a0In my dream I saw a brown brick building in the middle of a wheat field, that ended up being a place of worship. \u00a0In my dream I walked in, went up to the altar and placed my hands on a colorful tubular object. \u00a0When I laid my hands on it, water gushed out all over me and I began to give a last days prophecy. \u00a0\u00a0I never knew what that object \u00a0was. \u00a0That day when they brought the Torah out at Beth Adonai, I \u00a0was astonished and overwhelmed with the realization that the object in my dream was the Torah! \u00a0I shared the details of my dream with my friend and she insisted that I share it with the Rabbi and his wife. \u00a0He also told me that the theme of Beth Adonai \u00a0was the wheat field.<\/p>\n

My home church was very supportive during my husband\u2019s illness and after his death. \u00a0So I decided I would go to Beth Adonai on Shabbat, and my home church on Sunday. \u00a0It didn\u2019t last very long because I felt very conflicted and drained. \u00a0I prayed for discernment on what to do. \u00a0It felt like I was being disloyal to my home church. The Lord spoke to me and said, are you there for your friends or me? \u00a0When I went to Beth Adonai I felt renewed by the old Messianic teachings. \u00a0It seemed like my eyes were being open to a deeper walk with the Lord. \u00a0As I began to learn the old ways my heart filled with joy. \u00a0It felt like I was being completed. \u00a0One day as I was going downstairs for Oneg it hit me that this is where the Lord wanted me to be. \u00a0In one years\u2019 time I cared for three dying people, my husband, and two widows. \u00a0The Lord reminded me that it was their last days. \u00a0Then it hit me last days, last days, last days! \u00a0When the Lord tries to get our attention He does it in threes. \u00a0This is your last days ministry, this is where I want you to be. \u00a0So between my dream and the confirmations that the Lord has put in my heart, this is the place where I will serve. \u00a0\u00a0Blessed and restored for such a time as this! \u00a0\u00a0–
