Shalom Life!

Words of Welcome

Shalom and Welcome to Yeshua Bread of Life!

We are a community that happily embraces the commitment to shine the light of Messiah Yeshua in Central Florida. Our family-orientated atmosphere, actvites and spirit-filled services are an integral part of our community. Our vision is the restoration to a first-century, faith-based synagogue that follows the custom of the House of Israel and incorporates contemporary practices for the purpose of enhancing the overall experience while its emphasis will be the study of the entire TaNaK. We embrace the words of the prophet Zechariah who wrote about these days to come in chapter 8 verse 20-23: “20 “AD-NAI-Tzva’ot says, ‘In the future, peoples and inhabitants of many cities will come; 21 the inhabitants of one city will travel to another and say, “We must go to ask AD-NAI’s favor and consult AD-NAI-Tzva’ot. I’ll go too.” 22 Yes, many peoples and powerful nations will come to consult ADNAI-Tzva’ot in Yerushalayim and to ask AD-NAI’s favor.’ 23 AD-NAI-Tzva’ot says, ‘When that time comes, ten will take hold—speaking all the languages of the nations—will grab hold of the cloak of a Jew and say, “We want to go with you, because we have heard that G-d is with you.”’” CJB We continue to guard Torah principles of our faith and its teachings along with the Jewish people.
We are glad that you have taken the time to take a look at our community and invite you to continue our journey with us. It is impossible to absorb everything we have to offer in one visit, so we encourage you to further your studies and deepen your faith in the YBOL community. Come join us and fulfill this vision that The Master of the Universe has designated for the last days…
Blessings,
Ro’eh Tom

5785 Is Here!

1 Tishrei is the celebration of Rosh HaShanah, which marks both the beginning of the Fall Mo’edim and the start of the new Jewish year. It also represents the day of repentance before Yom Kippur, the day when the people of Israel examined their spiritual condition in order to make the necessary changes that would ensure the new year would be pleasing to HaShem. As we fulfill the mitzvot of these Mo’edim, we give thanks to HaShem as we say ‘blessed be He, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season!’

Rosh HaShanah

How does a person go from believer, to disciple, to leader? By Faith. (Hebrews 11 – The Faith Chapter)
“Faith is that Quality, not Quantity, of Power whereby the things hoped for become the things possessed.”
If you don’t use “Now Faith, Through Faith, By Faith”, you wind up “Without Faith.” This is done by the Worship of G-d, to the Walk with G-d, to the Work with G-d.

Abel was the first to worship G-d.
“By faith, Abel offered to G-d a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, G-d testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks” [Hebrews 11:4]
How can Abel be dead and still speak to us today? By defining true worship compared to worship in the flesh (Genesis 4:3-5,7). How does a “set-apart” person worship G-d? You cannot answer this question from the Brit HaChadashah, but from the Torah. If G-d had changed His mind, He would have done it in the Brit HaChadashah.

Enoch was the first to walk with G-d (Hebrews 11:5-6). How do you walk with G-d?
“As you therefore have received the Messiah, Yeshua as L-RD, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith just as you were instructed, and overflowing with grati- tude” [Colossians. 2:6-7]

Here is the problem. Once you are given the word of G-d, and you apply that word to your life because of your love for G-d, you can never go back to the way you were. Noah was the first to work with G-d (Hebrews 11:7). You cannot be a leader and work with G-d without first walking with G-d. You cannot walk with G-d without dealing with true worship of G-d. To worship G-d must be done in spirit and truth, not in the flesh. It is G-d who takes you from one dimension to another.

All three sounds are blown on Rosh Hashanah a day when G-d is recognized as Creator to be wor- shipped, a forgiving Father, and coming Judge. Yet, what most people associate Rosh Hashanah with is the resurrection of the dead.

Abraham was the first to experience the Resurrection from the Dead (Hebrews 11:11-12). If a miracle birth did not happen, the Jew would not exist. [Romans 4:16-22]

For some of you when you hear the Tekiah of the Shofar, know that G-d is calling you to the true wor- ship of Abel.
For some of you when you hear the Shevarim of the Shofar, know that G-d is calling you to walk with Him, as Enoch, with repentance.
For some of you when you hear the Teruah of the Shofar, know that G-d is calling you, like Noah, to pre- pare the way of the L-RD.
For ALL of you when you hear the TEKIAH HAGADOLAH of the Shofar, know that G-d is calling you, like Abraham, to experience the resurrection and reign of the Messiah.

“…and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory. He will send out his angels with THE GREAT SHOFAR, and they will gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” [Matthew 24:30-31]

What's Up?

We had a busy summer here at Yeshua Bread of Life.

We hosted a beautiful Pesach seder, inaugurated our new building, and had a variety of events for our mishpocha.

The Chesed Women’s group had the opportunity to join together for breakfast and a special painting class. All of the women and young ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our thanks to

the Chesed Women’s group leadership for hosting this event.

The youth enjoyed a special night of bowling and ’hanging out’ in Winter Garden.

The small children also had a blast at the end of summer pool party.

As we begin the next season, we look forward to continued fellowship in Messiah!

This is Vikas Borde, a pastor from Ahmednagar, Maharashtra who is returning to the Torah. Vikas works among the backward communities of Ahmednagar and surrounding areas spreading the Good News. He also works and minister among the poor and backward classes in and near his town. His community—Christ Compassion—meets every Shabbat and Sundays for prayer and fellowship. Vikas works in a very challenging environment, both demographically and politically. Being harassed for his faith by the Hindu right-wing groups is an everyday affair for Vikas and the believers’ families in this area. He is constantly forced to change houses so as to stay clear from the religious radicals of the area. It impacts his family and ministry in multiple ways, especially his two daughters who are growing up being mindful of the ever impending dangers of their father’s work in the area. Due to the category of communities Vikas caters to, financing the family and the ministry has been an uphill task for Vikas and his wife. His wife, Vaishali Borde, works as a nurse in a local hospital. However, her remuneration barely meets the family’s daily needs. Vikas is not in a position to fund his daughters’ education and needs financial help so they can continue their schooling, which costs $2000 a year! This last month, we were traveling and visiting different communities of the Shalom Covenant Churches. They are interested in learning the Jewish roots of our faith. It has been a very difficult month with so much of resources. Please pray for provision for us! These are the are the leaders of the Shalom Covenant Churches. They have three churches in the city, as well as ten churches under them in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. They want to learn the Jewish roots of the faith.

Hurricanes Are No Match for Hashem

Between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, during the Days of Awe, a second hurricane impacted Florida. Hurricane Milton dropped significant amounts of rain on our property on its way through central Florida. HaShem spared our members’ homes, but did allow water to flood the sanctuary section of our building. Our Sefer Torah was safe and none of the furnishings or tech equipment was damaged. HaShem protected us from the worst of the storm! Many members of our Kehilat volunteered long, wet hours helping remove the water from the interior and seƫng up a buffer zone around the building itself. Other members brought food for the workers and helped with the lighter, yet no less important, tasks such as seƫng up the Oneg for Yom Kippur. Despite the storm and our new waterfront, we held our afternoon Yom Kippur and Yizkor services. Additionally, even though many of the mishpocha did not have electricity at home, our Oneg team rallied together and served a delicious feast to break the fast. The sanctuary was still in disarray but we held our Sukkot services anyway. Our sukkah was built and secured against the wind. Our lulav and etrog arrived from Israel just in time for the Mo’ed. The beginning of Tishrei held many challenges for us. HaShem gave us strength and achdut—unity—to come together as a mishpocha, a family, and fulfill His mitzvot in honor of His Torah. The hurricane winds may blow, but HaShem is our protection!
