A Modern Day	Yeshiva

A Yeshiva (pl. Yeshivot) is translated in Hebrew literally means “sitting” and refers to the posture of a Talmid (student) in a classroom or instructional setting.   Yeshiva is defined as:

• A Jewish religious seminary.
• It is an academy for the study of Torah, normally for higher level Judaic study.
• A Teaching of Judaism religion and culture as well as general education.
• It is also referred to as a Beit Midrash (House of Study).

Modern Day – Until the late 20th century, Yeshivot were attended by males only. As the understanding and importance of education was examined many Modern Orthodox Yeshivot began to create Yeshiva for women to participate in the study of the Torah and other ancient Hebrew text.

Prayer Fast International is a Modern Day Yeshiva because we bridge the gap between the ancient texts of the TANAKH (Old Testament) to the contemporary application of the Brit Chadasha (New Testament). We emphasize the importance of studying the Bible within the context of its Hebraic origins while maintaining the integrity of the original intent of ADONAI’s word so that it can be translated appropriately for our contemporary society and culture. We embrace all Talmidim (students) who have a desire to be taught from the Hebraic perspective regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity.

G-d is restoring the Jewish heritage and ancient wisdom back to the church. Many Believers are intrinsically responding to an unexplainable hunger and thirst of the soul for a greater depth in G-d. More often this passionate search is drawing this remnant into a special place of revelation through study and acknowledgement of the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.

Because of this pull, these Believers are now searching for an institution of higher learning that will not only satisfy their passion for understanding of the Jewish roots, but will also equip them with the accurate understanding and balance that will qualify them to share their knowledge with others.

How important is study? Study is the highest mode of worship. It is "required" by a Biblical mandate. Studying from a Hebraic concept will allow students to re-examine the Scriptures with a powerful flood light through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to expose the hidden treasures returning the "church" to its Jewish foundation in order to go forward in a deeper understanding of biblical truth, faith and practice.

Why Study from a Hebraic perspective? The purpose of learning the word of G-d Hebraicly is to prepare us for a life of service and obedience in the knowledge of G-d. The Torah was given by G-d as instruction to us, (His people) on how to live our lives according to His plan. It is up to us to study it, learn it, embrace it, and live it in every circumstance of our lives.

It will also allow you to re-examine the Scriptures with a powerful flood light through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), which will expose the hidden treasures in the Torah. This Yeshiva Torah Study program through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is producing a work of restoration; returning the "church" to its Jewish foundation in order to go forward in a deeper understanding of biblical truth, faith and practice.
