Shalom, my name is Ephraim.  This is my first blog and i am excited to have found this great community.

My wife, children and i are new converts to Judaism and are of Sephardic decent.  We have been astonished at the tell tale signs we have discovered about our Sephardic background by simply learning Torah.

i look forward to contributing our experiences of growing up as natural born Americans, socialized as Greico-Romans, loving and searching for G-d as Christians, and finally arriving to the beginning of a true walk with the Jewish Messiah, Y’shua (a.k.a. Jesus). We were gentiles an are now engrafted to the true olive tree with the understanding that the TaNaK is not just collection of History and Law exclusively for "Natural born Jews," but for all of the covenant people through Y’shua Ha’ Mashiach.

i have been on a quest to find children of YHWH like us, and it has not been very difficult because America is full of Prodicals.  Most are Christians, and of those Christians, some are truthseekers with a sincere desire to find G-d, but many others are content and convinced of the doctrines and traditions of men, and will not see or hear.  i have called my quest Finding Ephraim and you can find this information at this link: Finding Ephraim

My next project (YHWH willing and if i am allive) is to learn all i can about the possibility of Aliyah for Ephraim.  Which i hope to use this forum to begin to labor on that bridge that many other laborers have already begun.

If you have any information about the possibility of Aliyah for Messianic families around the world, please leave a comment.  i understand that the Negev is opening up, but to what extent i do not know.  i know that anyone can move to Israel and become a citizen, but to Aliyah is to be accepted as belonging to the commonwealth of Israel based on Holy Scripture; and that is what we as Messianic Hebrews desire.
