Hebrewrooted

Hebrewrooted is a contemporary religious movement that emphasizes the belief that Jesus is the Messiah and that the teachings of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament, are still valid for Christians today. Adherents, often referred to as Hebrew Roots or Messianic Jews, seek to reconnect with the Jewish roots of their faith. This often involves observing Jewish holidays and traditions, such as Shabbat (the Sabbath), Passover, and Sukkot, alongside Christian beliefs.

The movement emerged in the latter half of the 20th century, drawing from various streams of thought including Messianic Judaism, Christian Zionism, and certain interpretations of dispensationalist theology. While some within Hebrewrooted identify as Jewish Christians or Messianic Jews, others, often of Gentile background, see themselves as grafted into the olive tree of Israel through belief in Yeshua (Jesus).

Practices within the Hebrewrooted community can vary significantly. Some groups maintain a strong emphasis on Jewish law (Halakha) as interpreted through their understanding of scripture, while others focus more on the spiritual and ethical teachings. The movement is not monolithic, and there is a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices among its followers. While some Hebrewrooted adherents see their movement as a restoration of original, true Christianity, others view it as a distinct expression of faith that bridges Judaism and Christianity.
