Dear Rabbi, Do you allow Messianic Gentiles to attend services? I would classify myself and my family as Messianic Gentiles. Even though my father’s family is from Czech., we have taken a deep interest in the deeper things of Adonai. We would love to attend a Messianic synagogue in our area but we feel that maybe we would not be welcome. I have listened to Messianic messages and we love them, however, we feel as if we are not one of “God’s chosen” because we don’t have the blood of a Jew. We have an adopted daughter and I have come to realize that love goes way beyond blood. I love both my children, it doesn’t matter what kind of blood they have running through their veins. When I take my daughter’s face in my hands, the only thing I feel is love. Thank you for your time. - Gina Brown
