Christian Jew – The Religion and Beliefs From The Eyes Of MJBI


Much has been experimented and speculated over the existence of God. The super human being is beyond perception and exists in our faith and religion. But the aggrandizing of modern lifestyle has somehow spooked off common men from an enduring relation with God and has placed them in a jolted position of no where. Still there are people who believe God can bring people to light from ignorance and lead to salvation! MJBI is one such organization that emerged out with a belief to bring together all Christian Jew people together and uphold the faith on Yeshua with great esteem.

They strongly believe that the Biblical verses hold great potential to lead a person to salvation and that every word was whispered by Yeshua himself. The religion has a plethora of beliefs among which the The Jewish holiday Hanukkah hold a special place as the holidays are supposed to be dictated by the Lord himself and said who ever celebrates these holidays with utmost faith would be included in the good books of Life. Further they believe that on these holidays God spares time for the judgement of human deeds and punishes him accordingly. There holidays are of great significance in Christian Jew Culture.


The Jewish holiday Hanukkah is otherwise known as Festival of lights which is celebrated for eight consecutive days. Hanukkah is specially celebrated to commemorate the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to the service of God. A legend that holds special importance in the celebration of Hanukkah is that when the Temple Menorah (the seven branched Candelabrum) was sought to be lighted, it was found that the single cruse of olive oil that somehow escaped the contamination by the Greeks miraculously stayed lighted up for eight days from a single day supply. In honour of this miracle, Hanukkah is still celebrated with great joy and gaiety. The custom further includes eating of latkes – potato pancakes, sufganiot – doughnuts and playing with dreidel. Dreidel refers to the spinning top on which four Hebrew letters are inscribed which are gimmel, nun, hei and sheen which means ‘a great miracle happened there’. Finally, the custom also includes gifting money to children.

MJBI envisages in significantly raising every Jewish community with great faith on the Lord. The portal therefore strives to explain every aspect of Jewish Holidays through examples and history. Led by Rabbis and prophets, MJBI leverages the spreading of message to distant people through their online courses as well.
