    Why Have Apple of His Eye Come to Your Church?

    Over the years many have asked us this question and there is one primary answer: so that we might assist the members of each congregation to better fulfill the Great Commission in reaching out to all, including the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel – the Jewish people. Steve Cohen, our founder, grew up in a Jewish home and was surrounded by Christians who, for the first 23 years of his life, never told him about Jesus. They went faithfully to church, observed the rites and festivals of the church, but never spoke to him about Jesus. The silence of the church even today is deafening in the ears of the lost. They are facing a Christ-less eternity where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. We have a demonstrated track record of seeing change from silence to active witnessing.

    Two Important Cases for Israeli Messianics: A Legal Analysis

    The decisions revealed the opinion of the Israeli government towards the Messianic Jewish community, and exposed the passive and non-political attitude of the Messianic community.

    Two very important court decisions have recently been issued in Israel, in which several very positive results emerged regarding the depicted opinion of the Israeli government towards the Messianic Jewish community. Furthermore, these court decisions expose the passive and non-political attitude which is prominent in the Messianic community and which indicates that this community is a minority group that is entitled to receive the court’s protection.

  • Holocaust Remembrance

    Yom HaShoah (יום השואה)

    Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is observed as Israel’s day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national memorial day. The first official commemorations took place in 1951.

    Yom HaShoah opens in Israel at sundown in a state ceremony held in Warsaw Ghetto Square at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes Authority, in Jerusalem. During the ceremony the national flag is lowered to half mast, the President and the Prime Minister both deliver speeches, Holocaust survivors light six torches symbolizing the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust and the Chief Rabbis recite prayers.

    On Yom HaShoah, ceremonies and services are held at schools, military bases and by other public and community organizations. On the eve of Yom HaShoah and the day itself, places of public entertainment are closed by law. Israeli television airs Holocaust documentaries and Holocaust-related talk shows. Flags on public buildings are flown at half mast. At 10:00, an air raid siren sounds throughout the country and Israelis are expected to observe two minutes of solemn reflection. Almost everyone stops what they are doing, including motorists who stop their cars in the middle of the road, standing beside their vehicles in silence as the siren is sounded.
