Are you another branch of Messianic that are trying to convert Jews?  You explain the Torah in a way that makes sense to me, but I keep waiting for the conversion tactic … so let’s have it.

To clarify our position:  To pin a Jew—or any Y’Israelite for that matter—to a Christmas tree is against Torah (Devarim/Deut. 12).  To try and steal away a Jew’s heritage through conversion or assimilation is against Torah/anti-nomian and a practice that we as Y’Israelites stand against.  Torah to the Tribes is just that—a community that wants to bring the Torah to all twelve tribes of Y’Israel, both Jewish Y’Israel and Ephraim Y’Israel.  Now let me be clear on this:  The Torah teaches that the restoration of kol Y’Israel (all Israel) can only be accomplished through Moshiach Ben Dawid/Yoseph—we all understand this.  Jewish history records many false moshiachs’ being embraced by the Jewish people, more than any other people on the face of the earth; Sabbatai Zevi is just one classic example of the Jewish people being led astray.  Yet today there are still some in the Lubavitcher movement who  proclaim the deceased Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson as moshiach and are still recognized as Y’Israelite Jews.  Torah to the Tribes, however, proclaims the Leper Scholar (Sanhedrin 98b, Yeshayahu/Is. 53) as Moshiach and expects to be judged and welcomed as Y’israel with equal weights and measures (Devarim 25:15).  The Leper Scholar is our Moshiach revealed as the TaNaKh and Brit Chadasha teach.  Our belief on this does not disqualify us as Jewish Y’Israel or Ephraim Y’Israel, nor does it make us adherents to a New Testament or a Christ that are both antithetical to the Brit Chadasha (Yirmeyahu/Jer. 31:31, Ivrim/Heb. 8:6) and Moshiach Ben Yosef/Dawid (Devarim 13:5, Mattityahu/Matt. 5:18) to which we hold dear. It’s Christendom that has lifted up the Torah-less Christ who replaces Jewish Y’Israel and Ephraim Y’Israel with a separate entity called the church—another classic example of proclaiming a Moshiach Who violates the teachings of Moshe Rabainu and people being led astray.  It is paramount that Torah-observant Y’Israelite who proclaim Moshiach are clearly identified as kol Y’israel and are not confused with the age-old adherents to the doctrine of the Trinity, God-man theology, the church, chen/grace void of Torah, and the conversion of Jews.

Now this statement may be shocking to the faint of heart, but the Leper Scholar is not a Christ, not a teacher of a New Testament or part of a Trinitarian Godhead.  Our Moshiach was spoken of by Moshe Rabainu as ha Navi/Moses, the prophet (Devarim 18:15) Who would be raised up to teach the Torah to Kol Y’Israel through a Brit Chadasha—a renewed administration of the Torah (Qorintyah Bet 3:1/2 Cor. 3:1) and gather in the exiles from afar.

Jewish Y’Israel and Ephraim Y’Israel and the chaverim (friends), two sticks/houses made one in the hand of Moshiach Ben Dawid.  No conversions period—Jewish or Ephraim—just Brit Milah ha Lev (circumcision of the heart) by the outstretched arm of YHWH just as Moshe Rabainu taught us all from Beresheet/Genesis.
