The CAFÉ Kehillah Discussion Board exists because community is important. Feel free to visit the discussion board to explore your concerns and voice your fears. We cannot promise to respond immediately but we will answer AND we will be honest with you!
The concept behind the CAFÉ Kehillah Discussion Board is based upon these four principles:
C = Compassion
-
- You are on a journey where you are looking for truth and maybe even to answer the question of just who is the Messiah
- The search forces Jewish people to go outside where you have been told “it is safe and/or acceptable to go”
- We are not here to “push you” but to walk the thousand-mile journey with you because many of us were once there as well.
A = Acknowledgement
-
- We acknowledge that our perspective for the Messiah, who we believe is Jesus, includes confronting both personal sin and a personal Messiah … and this is something that is often different from what you have been taught in Rabbinic Judaism
- We acknowledge that you might have a lot of questions for us, your rabbi, and even yourself … and we want to be here for you throughout the process even if and when it becomes confusing.
F = Forgiveness
-
- We believe forgiveness for and of sins is only available in Messiah Jesus and while we know that this is a concept that is often only considered on Yom Kippur
- We want to ask — should it be considered more often.
E = Empathy
-
- We were once on the journey that you are now taking — it is frightening
- So … we are not here to pressure you. We do not consider you a statistic, a trophy or a convert – regardless of what you might have heard. If you choose to walk away … just know we will be here if you choose to come back.
