What We Believe
We believe love means being clear and upfront. Rather than leaving things vague or assuming shared beliefs, we want you to know exactly who we are and how we understand Scripture.
Our hope is that by reading through this page, you can prayerfully decide whether Hebrew House aligns with your convictions and where you are in your walk.
Public Stance
We follow Yeshua of Nazareth through a Torah-observant, first-century Jewish lens. We keep the written Torah as eternal covenant instruction and receive Yeshua’s teachings as the decisive covenantal interpretation of Torah for this age. We honor the historical role of the Great Sanhedrin while recognizing that its binding judicial authority ended with the destruction of the Temple; later rabbinic rulings are studied as valuable historical testimony, not binding legislation.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to restore the Torah-centered faith practiced by Yeshua and His earliest disciples.
We affirm the oneness of YHWH, the Messiahship and shaliach-authority of Yeshua His Son, and the permanence of the written Torah as the covenant constitution for Israel, into which the nations are grafted according to Scripture.
We reject later Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, antinomianism, and replacement theology because they depart from Israel’s covenant framework, as well as post-Temple rabbinic claims to Sanhedrin-level authority. We gather to keep Shabbat and the mo’adim, cultivate covenantal community, and study the Scriptures within their original first-century Jewish context while awaiting the final redemption.
WE BELIEVE
1. YHWH alone is God.
He is one, indivisible, eternal, and without form. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
​
2. Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah.
He is the Son of God and the fully authorized Shaliach of the Father—appointed, empowered, resurrected, exalted, and invested with divine authority by YHWH.
He is not God incarnate and not a second divine person, but the human Messiah exalted by YHWH, foretold by the prophets. (John 5:36–37; 10:36; 17:3)
​
3. The written Torah is eternal covenant instruction.
It was not abolished, replaced, or spiritualized. Yeshua upheld it, interpreted it authoritatively, and lived it faithfully. (Matthew 5:17–19)
4. The Great Sanhedrin possessed legitimate authority only while functioning according to Torah.
When seated in the Lishkat ha-Gazit with unbroken semikhah from Moses, it exercised binding judicial authority in Israel, including calendar sanctification and capital jurisdiction.
After the destruction of the Temple, this binding judicial authority ceased. Post-70 gatherings at Yavneh, Usha, and Tiberias were rabbinic councils—not the biblical Sanhedrin. (Deuteronomy 17)
5. All extra-biblical traditions are weighed by Scripture as taught and modeled by Yeshua.
Second Temple literature, early Jewish writings, Tannaitic and Amoraic rulings, church writings, and later rabbinic texts are studied for historical value. We receive what aligns with Torah and Yeshua’s teaching and set aside what does not.
​
6. Salvation is covenantal faithfulness.
It is grounded in God’s mercy and expressed through repentance toward YHWH, trust in Yeshua’s death and resurrection, and a life of obedience shaped by Torah and empowered by the Spirit (Ruach ha-Kodesh).
​
7. The Kingdom has begun but is not yet complete.
We live it now through justice, mercy, humility, Torah obedience, and communal love.
We await the return of Yeshua, the resurrection of the righteous, the restoration of Israel, and the renewal of the world.
OUR MOTTO
YHWH is One.
Yeshua is His Messiah.
Torah is His instruction.
Everything else we midrash together—within covenantal boundaries.
