https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw4yEhPXscE&ab_channel=IFoundShalom.com I will never believe in Jesus. I was born a Jew I will die a Jew. How can you expect me to believe in a God whose name my people have been killed. I don't care if it's true. I will never believe in Jesus. I grew up in a loving Jewish family. My mom and dad were very actively involved in the local synagogue and we were there pretty much every Friday or Saturday. We celebrated the holidays and we celebrated Passover at home. My Jewish identity meant a lot to me. Growing up, I decided to go to college where I majored in fashion photography and then after I worked in the photo industry for a couple of years, I decided to fulfill my lifelong passion of…

https://youtu.be/49fXyNg-2QU Are we going to bet our own eternal future on a false prophet? The silence spoke volumes to me. I knew I was into something really deep. I grew up in Morocco. I come from a religious family. My grandfather was a rabbi and so was his father and grandfather. It was less and less comfortable for Jews to live in Muslim countries. Going to school and coming out, there were some young Muslims waiting for us with sticks, and we had to fight our way home. I remember my father used to say if you forget you're a Jew, they will remind you.  I was 13 yrs old when we moved to Montreal, and it was when I was in college that my friends had a special interest…

https://youtu.be/WXZSKx5kXGs Hear O Israel. The Lord our God, the Lord is one. I'm Sarah. I grew up Jewish. We weren't super orthodox, we weren't super religious but every friday we would go to shabbat which is like going to church on sunday. I used to go to Sunday school which was Hebrew school. I had a bat mitzvah when I was 13. so I always wanted to know more about God but was never really encouraged to go and seek God for myself. In fact everything that we did was in Hebrew so unless you actually knew how to translate it, you didn't even know what they were saying half the time.  About the age of 18 I had a friend in high school who was I guess the first…

https://youtu.be/5sMEkGoojbg Here’s what you need to do. You got to first shave your head, you dress all in black, you've got to wear a white rope, eat only kosher foods, you've got to become a vegetarian, you face Jerusalem, you've got to face India when you pray, you pray only in Hebrew and your grow a nice big beard. And if you do all those outward cultural things, you'll discover the God of the universe. I'm thinking “This is crazy, that someone thinks that they can force their culture on God. And that God's going to be impressed by what you wear, what direction your face when you pray, what you eat, all these sorts of things.” It seemed to me that if there was a God out there who…

https://youtu.be/xt2wbX6l9u0 Absolutely not. Do not look into this. Are you crazy? I got the message loud and clear. This Yeshua was not for us. I grew up in a family that was I would say like “conserv-odox”. My mom grew up Orthodox, my dad grew up reformed and they kind of switched places. My dad became more Orthodox and my mom became less. We kept kosher, we did you know, place for milk, place for meat. It was always there, always present. We're Jewish and I was very happy to be Jewish and I never wanted to be anything else. I used to go to Shul and we'd sit there and we would pray along with everybody and I'd keep up with English because I didn't always understand the Hebrew.…

https://youtu.be/ghhylQIjZRo I grew up in the synagogue. I knew of nothing else. As a matter of fact, I had very few friends who were not Jewish. There was a lot of racial tension in our city. So I was in about the fourth or fifth grade and this friend of mine, Larry, came up to me. Outta the clear blue sky, he pointed his finger at me and he says, "You killed Jesus." And I said, I don't even know who you're talking about. You know, I was really scared. I mean, me, how can I, I mean I was a young child.  One of the people I connected with who became a very good friend of mine, was from Miami Beach. And he was a guitarist and I was…

https://youtu.be/efl7EpwmYUs I remember I was small child and my sweet mom and teaching me “Shema Yisrael”. I went to a Jewish school in Tehran - learning Hebrew, English, Farsi. They talked more about faith and what it is to know who this God is, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I remember every night praying the Shema and then just openly talking to God. In our family, things were going wrong. My parents were out of sorts, fighting with each other. I had a tremendous ear ache and I remember my grandmother telling my dad “You need to bring the lamb, a sheep. And have the rabbi come and say Bracha (a blessing) and sacrifice the lamb. We gathered around and we laid hands on the sheep. The rabbi prayed…

https://youtu.be/eu4BaZyweuE I remember having a conversation with my mother and she was encouraging me to go to bed early so I can get a good night's sleep. And I said “Why should I go to bed and get a good night's sleep?” She said “So you can get up and be refreshed in the morning and do well in school.” I said “Why do I need to do well in school?” “So you can go to a good college.” I said “Why doI need to go to a good college?” “So you can get a good job?” “Why do I need to get a good job?” “So you can have a family and a house and the nice things of life.” I said “Okay, if I have all those things…

https://youtu.be/zPjtvFoCR38 I got my PhD in the field of organic chemistry, post-doc at Stanford University, joined the group of a man who was going to win a Nobel Prize in chemistry, voted one of the top 50 most influential minds in the world. I was a visiting scholar at Harvard University. I've spoken at every major university in this country, have over 650 research publications voted the R & D magazine scientist of the year. I'm in the National Academy of Inventors. I'm a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Over 120 patents, started seven or eight companies. We work in areas that range from medicine to material science to electronics computer memory medical devices. We work across a broad range of areas but more than…

https://youtu.be/YnPyAxPe-4M How come nobody told me before ? I mean my family, my neighbors, my friends, my people... nobody knows! Nobody tells us. It's the best-kept secret among the Jewish people. I was born to a Sephardic Jewish family, my family are Babylonian Jews on my mom's side and Sephardic Jews, from Spain on my dad's side. My mom would try to drag my brothers and me to synagogue. Maybe he had something to do with our people thousands of years ago but God was very very far away. In school we would study the Old Testament from 1st grade to 12th grade. We study it as the history of people, as wisdom literature, something that one just needs to know being Jewish but not as the word of God.…
