As a Messianic Jewish congregation, we study the Torah systematically and follow the Way of Yeshua HaMashiach, focusing on His role as Bridegroom of the New Temple—the Church.
The Meaning of The Way
Within the tradition of The Way, salvation is understood to come through faith in Yeshua as Saviour, not through adherence to later rabbinical legal systems. After the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, Judaism developed into what is now known as Rabbinical Judaism (Orthodox, Conservative and Reform) and The Way (Messianic Judaism).
Messianic Judaism integrates Jewish liturgical and cultural tradition with the theological framework of evangelical Gentile Christianity, anticipating the age of peace associated with Yeshua HaMashiach.
Other related communities include:
- Hebrew Catholics, who affirm Yeshua while remaining in communion with Gentile Rome.
- Samaritan Israelites, preserving ancient Northern Kingdom traditions on Mount Gerizim.
- Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews), a historic diaspora community now largely in Israel.
- Kabbalistic traditions, expressing Judaism’s mystical dimension.
- Reconstructionist Judaism, viewing Judaism as an evolving civilisation.
Gentile believers may join The Way by association—a spiritual and communal identification rooted in discipleship, not ethnicity.
This pathway includes:
- Torah study for one year through consistent parashot
- Participation in Shabbat and the Leviticus 23 moadim
- Mentorship by the rabbi
- Formation in The Way of Yeshua
Those who complete the process may identify as proselites, expressing their spiritual belonging within our Jewish community by association.
Mikveh (Immersion)
Mikveh is required for all beluevers in Yeshua, boyh Jews and Gentiles, unless the individual has already undergone believer’s baptism at an age of reason and understanding. This symbolises purification and entrance into the life of the Church, understood as the Third and Final Temple.
Infant baptism is honoured but not considered sufficient.
Veganism & Kosher
Jewish dietary laws emphasise holiness, separation, and avoidance of blood. Many Jewish scholars teach that the Messianic Age will reflect the Edenic diet, making veganism a natural expression of Jewish values. Vegan practice aligns with the highest ideals of compassion and holiness, whereas Kosher is a Noahdic concession.

Rabbi Bqoi Yaakov Ben Day (Pastor George Day)
Rabbi Yaakov was consecrated as a Nazirite on 7 May 2023, committing to a life of sobriety, chastity, and service in imitation of Yeshua.
Ministerial Background and Former Affiliation
Rabbi Yaakov was previously ordained through the Worldwide Ministry Elohei Kedem (WMEK) during an early stage of his Messianic journey. This ordination remains part of his ministerial history, but he no longer holds affiliation with WMEK due to doctrinal differences.
His present ministry identity is independent, Trinitarian‑affirming, and rooted in a Yeshua‑centred, Spirit‑led expression of faith. TOBChurch stands in fellowship with wider Messianic and Christian communities whose theology aligns with historic belief held by The Upper Room Network (TURN).
Where are the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel?
The Northern Kingdom tribes are believed to be scattered among the nations. Hosea prophesies their future restoration and unity with Judah under one Head—Messiah. This hope shapes the Messianic expectation of global revival and reconciliation.
Hagia Sophia
Built in 537, Hagia Sophia became one of the most influential architectural achievements in history. Its legacy inspires respect for Arab believers in Isa (Yeshua) who share the Gospel within Islamic contexts.
The 144,000 and the Great Revival
Revelation describes 144,000 Jewish believers—symbolic of the tribes of Israel—who will lead a global revival before the final judgment. This includes descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes.
