Here is a little bit about me. I serve as President of Shelanu TV, the only 24.7, Hebrew language TV channel sharing the message of Yeshua. 

 

I was born into a Jewish home, circumcised and Bar Mitzvah'd, but I did not know God! I realized at age 17, there must be more. This led me on a journey where I discovered that Yeshua (Jesus), whom I thought was for the Gentiles, was in fact, the Jewish Messiah.

​

I hold a master's degree from King's University and a doctorate from Liberty University. I served as the Associate Rabbi at Beth Messiah Messianic congregation in Rockville, MD, until my family and I moved to Odesa, Ukraine, to work in the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute as Jewish people were coming to Yeshua in droves. In Ukraine, we birthed a congregation in Bedichev, the city upon which Fiddler on the Roof was based. We then moved to Budapest, Hungary.

​

In 1999, we accepted an invitation to teach Jewish Roots at the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry. In 2003, my wife Elana, a native Israeli, and I, along with our girls, made aliyah (moved to Israel). I served as the co-pastor and interim senior pastor of the King of Kings Community in Jerusalem.

​

During this time, we birthed the Isaiah 2 Initiative, taking Israeli young adults to third-world nations to preach the message of Yeshua. In Nigeria, these young adults saw many miracles, and tens of thousands profess faith in Yeshua. 

​

In 2013, I agreed to become the lead pastor of Tiferet Yeshua, a Hebrew-speaking congregation in Tel Aviv. Three years later, we turned the congregation over to a native-born Israeli, while still functioning as an elder there to this day.

​

In 2020, GOD TV partnered with several Messianic Israeli leaders to birth Shelanu TV. I was asked to become the president. It was very difficult to leave my "dream job" as the CEO of Tikkun, but I knew this was God's doing.
