One of the two primary goals of the UMJC for the coming years is to raise up a new, under-40 generation that is larger than our current, over-40 generation. To meet the goal, we have launched a number of initiatives in recent years to attract and serve younger people. One of these initiatives is our Hadrachah, or work-study program, administered by the UMJC 20s Committee, under Chairman Mark Seide. Hadrachah allows Messianic Jewish college students to earn some extra money serving in a local congregation, rather than cleaning offices on campus. Here's part of a letter from a recent Hadrachah student, who served at our member congregation Kehilat Ariel in San Diego: Since being part of the Hadrachah program, I have learned a lot. I participated in the Balboa Park Outreach Ministry, co-led the Torah service, helped in the children's classes during services, and assisted in the Kehilat Ariel office making phone calls and preparing mailings. . . . I love to do outreach and give support, and I have ideas and energy to offer to ministry. The knowledge I gained will help me put into action all that I learned, in my daily life and as well in the Jewish community. . . . Thank you so much for the opportunity to be involved and to discover some of the strengths, weaknesses, and gifts I have. Thank you for allowing me to take part in being used by God. It truly has been wonderful. Rebekah Please pray for Rebekah and the hundreds of young people like her within the Messianic Jewish community, to be bright lights for Messiah to their families and friends. |
