Hebraic
Perspectives
Restoration Fellowship began with three young couples
in the mid 1970’s. Each had at least one Jewish partner.
Amongst their other priorities, they believed that
the Bible instructed Jewish believers in Jesus / Yeshua,
to maintain their identities as Jewish Believers.
At the same time, they embraced the call to reach out
to people from every ethnic background.
In the Spring of 1977, the Jewish believers began to keep
the feasts and invited the non-Jewish members of
Restoration Fellowship to participate, should they choose to.
This togetherness has borne wonderful fruit
in covenant faithfulness to God and each other.
Jesus and the apostles saw themselves as Jewish men who were bringing the Kingdom of God to Israel and the nations. We believe the entire Bible is best understood from within a Jewish historical and cultural viewpoint.
We mourn, abhor, renounce, and denounce Christian anti-Semitism.
We pray and co-labor for the Jewish people’s reconciliation to the God of Israel through Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel, and the deliverer of the nations.

We instruct others in the Christian churches about the Jewish priority of the Gospel, the end-time reconciliation of Israel, and the cross-cultural unity of the community of believers.
We see the Jewish believers as being the Biblically defined godly prophetic remnant of Israel. We view non-Jewish believers as the remnant of the nations, members of the same Body, valuable partners, fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God, and together with the Jewish remnant, co-heirs with Jesus.
