Changed Lives
"Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God."
Ezekiel 11:19-20
What Ezekiel prophesied, Yeshua fulfilled. These are the stories of Jewish people who have experienced forgiveness of sins and vibrant new spiritual life in the Messiah. Their experiences line up precisely with what the prophets foretold. |

O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things planned long ago. – Isaiah 25:1
I was raised in Montreal in a middle class traditional Jewish home, celebrated the High Holidays and attended synagogue only when required to. At 22 I married. It was a bad marriage almost from the day go. I had two wonderful sons, the lights of my life and stayed in my marriage for 12 years hoping that it would get better. It did not; in fact it only got worse. I finally found the courage and strength to walk away and concentrated on raising my two sons. Shortly thereafter I entered into a financial nightmare which lasted 18 years. At that point, I hit bottom. Approximately a year later I began to see a light at the end of the black tunnel; I reached down deep into my soul and pulled out some hope. Little did I know that it was Him who pulled me from my despair.

Rabbi Jeffrey Forman
I was raised in a Jewish home in suburban Philadelphia. It was a Jewish neighborhood where most of my friends were Jewish. At the age of 13, after attending Hebrew school for two years, my twin brother and I had a Bar Mitzvah. That summer, my parents sent me on a two month tour of Israel with dozens of other Bar Mitzvah kids from all over the country. It was one of the most memorable summers of my life. There, my identity as a Jew was solidified forever. After that, our family remained culturally Jewish, but not very religious. When I was about 20, my sister and mother both became believers in Yeshua. At first I thought they were crazy. I felt they had abandoned Judaism and embraced a non-Jewish religion. Soon after, they began to attend Beth Yeshua, a Messianic Jewish Congregation in Philadelphia. They finally convinced me to attend a service. It was nothing like what I had imagined it would be – no statues of Mary, no crosses, no priests with white collars. On the contrary it was quite Jewish - Jewish people singing and dancing the hora to Jewish music.

Marcia Sherman
 My name is Marcia and I was born into a Jewish family here in Toronto. My sister and I were raised in a home that was not religious, though we did keep some of the Jewish traditions. I would sometimes pray to God as a child but I did not have a personal relationship with Him.
I was married from 1960-1982 in which time my husband and I raised two sons. We were members of a Synagogue, though, like many other Jewish families we only attended services on the High Holidays. Our children also attended United Synagogue Day School. Though we kept some of the Jewish traditions in our home, true spirituality was missing.
Our older son David had a non-Jewish friend who frequently invited him to his church. As a result of going there, David became a believer in Jesus. That was 22 years ago.
In that same period of time, my marriage was dissolving and my mother was slowly dying of cancer. I was in a state of grieving over my failed marriage and mourning for my dying mother. Furthermore, I thought my son was closing the door on his Jewish heritage and was converting away from Judaism. It felt like I was losing a son. It was a very difficult period of time for me.
