Messianic Judaism

Messianic Judaism is a diverse modern movement of communities that identify Jewishly while confessing Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah.

Modern forms developed especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, though they often draw connections with earlier Jewish-Christian history.

Communities vary in their understanding of Torah observance, Jewish practice, ecclesiology, and their relationship to rabbinic Judaism and other Christian traditions.

Worship may combine Jewish liturgical or cultural elements with Christian prayer, Scripture reading, music, preaching, and celebrations of biblical festivals.

Governance ranges from independent congregations to associations and networks.
