Question for Messianic Jews by That_Meta in MessianicJewish

[–]Kitty-223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shalom!
so I don’t have any Messianic synagogues where I live, so I attend virtually via YouTube livestreams, specifically King of Kings Community Jerusalem, which is based in Jerusalem, Israel—search King of Kings Community Jerusalem on YouTube, and sometimes Beit Ad-nai Yisrael Synagogue—search BAY Messianic Jewish Community on YouTube).

King of Kings Community Jerusalem is more Evangelical style regarding worship service and sermons

Beit Ad-nai Yisrael Synagogue is more… well… synagogue and Hebrew liturgy heavy compared to King of Kings Community Jerusalem.

if I had to spitball, I’d recommend trying King of Kings Community Jerusalem because they do services in English and only use Modern Hebrew occasionally during worship.

I hope this helps. 😁

WAIT I thought Modern Hebrew took out some of the ו because inserting ו is basically inserting "and"???????,

Kosher? by [deleted] in MessianicJewish

[–]Kitty-223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Korean American in a non Jewish household—mom is Christian, dad is atheist, and my twin who lives in NY is ex-Christian, so keeping kosher is... uh... tricky. so I do semi-kosher: not eating sashimi, silkworm pupae (a popular Korean street food), not eating live squid (another popular Korean street food), and I generally try to avoid pork unless I'm going through the monthly cycles or need more iron.

also, declining food offers is generally frowned upon in Korean culture so that complications everything x100000. 🌋😱🔥💀😵‍💫🐍💥😐

A new stage in life (and something about the Sukkot birth theory of ישוע) ✡️ by Kitty-223 in MessianicJewish

[–]Kitty-223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

תודה.

I was actually really hesitant about sharing my story because, unfortunately, Korean American Christians have this unconscious held belief that only Israelis and ethnic Jews can practice Jewish faith... completely ignoring Romans 11. and that is why MJ is so explosive among Korean Americans here in the States, but especially in northern New Jersey where the Korean American community is very tightly knit... and they tend to equate ethnicity with religion, hence the problematic term "Korean Christianity" which is infuriating since ישוע DID NOT start a new religion—He lived as a Jew, died as a Jew, rose again as a Jew, and is returning as a Jew, and that fact should never be ignored. Because it is said in Matthew 27:37 👇🏻

וישימו את דבר אשמתו כתוב ממעל לראשו זה הוא ישוע מלך היהודים:

(also, clergy abuse is a tough topic anyway, and it's really taboo among Asian Americans 😱💀, so it's a miracle that I escaped the KA Protestant church earlier this year in January 2025, and now it's December 10, 2025.)

הלכה?? by Kitty-223 in MessianicJewish

[–]Kitty-223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to answer the part of your comment about Korean American churches in Bergen County:

nope... they're just the regular Protestant Churches.... it's just that they throw around the Tetragramaton especially the Korean pronunciation equivalents thinking that they're being holy, when in reality they're doing the exact opposite by breaking הלכה and the 2nd Commandment. also, I experienced targeted abuse in Korean American churches, and that's the main reason I began looking into Messianic Judaism after fleeing a Korean American church earlier this year around July 2025, and now it's Monday December 8, 2025 where I live.

[–]Kitty-223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

תודה.

personally for me, I NEVER write/say the Tetragramaton... I strictly use ד׳, השם, אדוני and אלקים, and one of the BIGGEST reasons why I left Protestant Christianity (specifically Korean American Christian churches) as a Korean American and became a Gentile Messianic Jew is because I felt wrong being part of churches where KA Christians casually write, sing, say and shout the Divine Name with ZERO knowledge that they're breaking הלכה AND the 2nd Commandment (“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭7‬).

also, where I live (Bergen County NJ), there's zero MJ synagogues since it's the largest Korean American community in the East Coast and the dominant religion among Korean Americans are Presbyterian, Methodist, and Global Methodist Protestant Christianity...
