    The Modern Messianic Movement – Part 1: Rediscovering Jewish Roots

    How did the modern Messianic Jewish movement begin? Was it something entirely new, or was it a rediscovery of the faith and practices of the earliest Jewish followers of Yeshua? In Part 1 of this two-part series, Rabbis Michael and Carol Calise trace the remarkable story of the movement's modern beginnings—from the Hebrew Christian movement of the 19th century to the rise of Messianic congregations, pioneering leaders, influential organizations, and the growing desire among both Jewish and Gentile believers to reconnect with the Jewish roots of the New Covenant. You'll discover how organizations such as the Hebrew Christian Alliance, the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, Jews for Jesus, and others helped shape the movement, along with the lasting influence of leaders like Martin Chernoff, David Stern, Moishe Rosen, and Dan Juster. Whether you're new to Messianic Judaism or have been part of the movement for years, this episode provides valuable historical context for understanding one of the most significant spiritual developments of the last century. In Part 2: We'll examine where the movement stands today, its strengths and challenges, and consider what the future may hold.

    When the Jewish Roots Began to Be Lost - Part 2

    What do the earliest Christian writers reveal about the relationship between the Church, Israel, and the Jewish roots of faith in Yeshua? In this concluding episode, Rabbis Michael and Carol Calise examine the writings of influential second-, third-, and fourth-century leaders, comparing their words with the New Covenant and tracing how certain theological ideas gradually became established within the wider Church. By allowing the historical sources to speak for themselves, they explore how interpretations of Israel, the Torah, and the biblical festivals developed over time—and how those developments continue to shape conversations about the Jewish roots of our faith today. Join us as we conclude this fascinating journey through Scripture, history, and the early centuries of the Body of Messiah.

    When the Jewish Roots Began to Be Lost – Part 1

    How did the Jewish expression of faith in Yeshua gradually become separated from its biblical foundations? In this first episode of a two-part series, Rabbis Michael and Carol Calise trace the Quartodeciman controversy from the New Covenant through the second century, introducing the faithful leaders who sought to preserve the apostolic practice of observing Passover on the fourteenth day of Nisan. Was this only a disagreement over a date, or was something deeper beginning to unfold? Join us as we explore the historical evidence and lay the foundation for Part 2, where we'll examine the writings of influential leaders whose ideas shaped the future of the Body of Messiah.
