Restoration: A Messianic Synagogue In Seattle

Identity shapes responsibility. If we don’t know who we are, we let the world define us instead of the God who made us. Torah is not old or discarded—it is God’s covenant gift that reveals His heart.In Deuteronomy, Moses shows Israel how to love God and love people through edot (remembrance), chukkim (trust), and mishpatim (justice). Yeshua echoed the same when He said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15).Every believer—Jew and Gentile—has a role in God’s promises. Our obedience is an echo of His faithfulness.Listen to this week’s message and discover how remembering, trusting, doing justice, and loving lead us into God’s story and show the world who He is.Watch here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/gc6t45z#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

The good life = a joyful state of mind. We read, study, sing, and feed on God’s Word daily—not out of duty, but to remember.Remember His goodness.Remember what brings life (and what doesn’t).For 4000+ years, the people in the Bible have shown us: the way of death warns us, the way of life leads to joy—even in hard times.

12 spies. 1 promised land.10 saw giants. 2 saw God’s promise.Fear led to rebellion. Faith could’ve led to victory.

Pastor Aaron Gray walks us through the idea from the book of Numbers that God calls all believers to be Set Apart As Stewards. This is part 2 of the Scroll of Numbers. Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/nyjf2ff#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

In the Torah, God healed the Israelites from snake bites when they looked up at the bronze serpent—not because it had power, but because they repented and trusted Him. As former slaves in Egypt, they knew the belief: “The thing that bites you can heal you.” Likewise, Yeshua was lifted up so we could look to Him, repent, and live. Sometimes, what’s hurting you is what God uses to lift your eyes to Him.
