Son of an Orthodox Jew who came to faith in Jesus, Abraham’s youth was spent learning Jesus in a
Jewish way in his father’s Messianic Jewish congregation.

The Biblical Jewish Holidays were celebrated at home and in The Congregation in a way that clearly
showed how they spoke of Yeshua (Jesus) - the Messiah and Redeemer of Israel and the nations.

During Abraham’s youth and teenage years Messiah’s Lighthouse, his father’s congregation, saw
God move mightily with hundreds - Jew and Gentile - coming to saving faith in Yeshua.  Abraham
assisted his father in many ways including as Worship Leader, Children’s Teacher, and College &
Career Coordinator.  He also served an internship with the congregation.

When Abraham presented his first JESUS IN THE PASSOVER presentation 25 years ago, he already
had 10 years experience assisting his father teach Yeshua in the Jewish holidays.
