A rabbi is not someone who decided to call himself one. Semicha is a chain of ordination that traces back to Moshe placing his hands on Yehoshua. You don't give that to yourself. It is received — or it doesn't exist. ✡️





I am not a self-proclaimed Messianic Rabbi. In fact, I never sought out that ordination. My own Messianic Rabbi ordained me through the laying on of hands. Unexpectedly I might add. Subsequently, I received formal ordination (smicha) through the International Alliance Of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues. I don't claim to be a Yeshiva U grad. And I don't claim to have the qualifications to lead a traditional Jewish synagogue. I am an ordained "Messianic Jewish Rabbi", serving my local community in Rhode Island. I'm there every Shabbat, and if you're ever in my area, come visit to meet me in person and for a worship experience you'll never forget.
