2 welcome to hayesod Shalom, Exciting things are happening, which were prophesied thousands of years ago. God is working with the Jewish people and the Nations to fulfill the words of the Prophets of Israel. HaYesod is an eye-opening Bible study for Christians. For many, HaYesod has been the entry point for exploring and connecting with the Jewish roots of their faith a perspective that has greatly enhanced their biblical understanding and strengthened their faith. This short catalog introduces you to the HaYesod program. You can take the program online as an individual student or you can host a study with a group of students in your home, church or in a fellowship setting. HaYesod is intended to: Educate and inspire the disciples of Yeshua by presenting his teaching within their Jewish framework and understanding; Bring understanding to our faith from a Jewish perspective giving greater depth and meaning; Correct the errors of replacement theology, anti-semitism, and historic misinterpretation of the Scriptures. Today things are changing. Jewish people are beginning to reconsider Yeshua, and many are declaring him to be the Messiah. Christians are rediscovering their rich biblical heritage in the Jewish Scriptures and their relationship to Israel and the Jewish people. Thank you for considering our resources. I pray they will be a blessing to you, your family, and your community. Grace and Peace Boaz Michael Founder and Director First Fruits of Zion Request additional HaYesod catalogs to distribute in your local area or to give to interested friends. 2 register securely online:

J.B., Tabor Correctional Institution, Tabor City, NC HaYesod is quite simply, a delight There is a resounding yes and amen within my heart to the work you are doing. J.A. I just completed lesson six! My aha moment was not that Paul remained Jewish (something I d always taken in stride) but that he was persecuted for including the Gentiles rather than preaching Yeshua! That was a very different perspective to me. R.E. Each of the lessons carefully builds on the previous one, enabling students to make connections and form logical conclusions from week to week. 4 register securely online:

Online Student TESTIMONY This teaching, instruction, training has revolutionized my life. Torah is life to me, and I thank the teachers for gathering all of the information for this study. Is there a continuation to HaYesod? I cannot wait until the next study. Once again, I thank all of you for putting together such and excellent course, and I thank God for you all and may He bless you richly. C.S. Group Leader TESTIMONY I m pretty much astounded by the positive reception that HaYesod has had with the Lutheran group I m hosting (which includes two elders and the pastor of the congregation). There have been relatively zero objections to the material presented, and the group is enthusiastic to dig in to the lessons and scriptures each week. P.S.
