In case you don't already know, my family roots trace back to Judaism. (And if you're thinking, "Ahh, that explains a lot," I have no idea what you're talking about). Anyway, somewhere along the line, I believe 4 or 5 generations back, there was a break in the family faith and some converted to Christianity.

So, even though "technically" I am not Jewish, it is still a part of my heritage and I have a great appreciation for its history. Below is a video that talks about the rising of Messianic Jews (Jews that follow the traditions of Judaism, but believe that Jesus is the Messiah) in Israel. I think it's fascinating. Shalom!!
