Sadly, the MessianTics Podcast staff is seeing some significant changes, and as such this episode is our farewell episode to the show. It may make a return in a new iteration at some point in the future, but with Rabbi Toby leaving Congregation Mayim Chayim later this year and Jonathan having already resigned and moved on from Brit Ahm, we felt it was necessary for the show as we've come to know and love to come to an official close.
We have loved the past three years of making this podcast, we pray it has been a blessing and encouragement to our audience, and we'll see if at some point the show is resurrected in a new iteration.

As always, listen, share, and share your thoughts, comments, and questions with us.

This episode of the MessianTics Podcast is a bit different than our normal discussions. Recently a few of us attended the memorial service for Rabbi Robert Solomon (Z"L ז׳׳לֹ), founder of Congregation Beth Hallel in Rosewell, GA. Listening to the memories and legacy left behind by this pioneer in the MJ Movement left us thinking about how we'd like to be remembered when our time comes, and this dialogue is the product of our processing through that thought.
In this episode our rabbis dive into a conversation dealing with some theological positions that have developed in the Messianic Jewish movement that we find to be rather problematic.

A few weeks ago we released an episode entitled "Inclusions and Distinctions in MJ pt. 1" in which we discussed the inclusion and distinctions of Jews and Gentiles within the MJ Movement and some of the antics we see in Messianic Judaism (get it? MessianTics) to this regard. However, we didn't just want to seem as though all we do is complain about such issues, but rather we wanted to follow that episode up with a part 2 in which we want to offer som possible solutions to this issue. As always, give it a listen, share the episode, and share your thoughts with us.
As you guys have heard time and time again from us, unity in the MJ movement is a huge desire of our hearts and something for which we strive regularly and it is a goal of this podcast as a whole. In this episode we discuss some phenomenal resources and opportunities available within the Messianic Jewish Movement that can both foster greater unity and help make raising future generations of the MJ movement a reality. Give this episode a listen, share your thoughts with us, and let us know if there are any resources we may have missed. Below is a list of links for the resources we discussed.

Is Yeshua just G-d Jr.? A lot of people think of Him in that way, some folks will say He is the Messiah but He isn't G-d. In this episode your MessianTics rabbis tackle the conversation of the deity of Yeshua and the vital importance of the reality that He is in fact deity. You won't want to miss it, we hope you want to share it, and we look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments on this discussion.
Have we got an episode for you today, and you won't want to miss it... In this new episode, our rabbis dive into the ever present discussion of inclusion and distinctions within Messianic Judaism.

There will be a part 2 as well...

This episode is definitely a little different... Our rabbis dig into a conversation discussing things about Messianic Judaism that we like and improvements we believe need to be experienced for longevity. If you've listened to the podcast for any length of time, you know we all absolutely love and are passionate about MJ, but we are also honest about the fact that MJ hasn't been perfected yet, and this episode is one where we dig into these realities with our raw opinions and hopes for the future.
