How long has Beit Shofarot and Messianic Judaism been around?
For hundreds of years after Messiah came, there were many Jewish Christians, called Nazarenes, but the movement slowly diminished and disappeared. In the late 19th century there again arose a small number of these believers, who were called Hebrew Christians during that era. In the late 1960’s and 70’s the movement exploded, leading to the formation of congregations and institutions. In May of 2008 Beit Shofarot was launched as a small Bible study teaching on the foundations of the Jewish roots in the Christian faith. Not until February 2009 was Beit Shofarot formally established as an Associate Congregation which will lead to the status of Congregation in the future.
