Question for you.

[Photini]

Hello there. I haven't visited this section much, and in fact know very little about Messianic Judaism. I am an Eastern Orthodox (Greek Archdiocese) Christian. My question is in regards to the Eucharist, or Communion. Do the Messianic Jews hold this practice also, and if so, how is it approached?

It really depends on which Messianic congregation one attends. Some fully partake in communion, other's view communion as a part of Passover, and others do not view it as an instituted practice.

So I suppose it depends on who you ask.

Shalom,
Yafet.

My congregation does this once a month and on other special occasions. However I believe that it was a fulfillment of the Pesache ritual that had been practiced since Egypt, and to be done during that time of the year. The reason was to tie the meaning permenently to what was taught in Egypt about the plan of salvation, starting with the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, and the unleavened bread. The blood was a covering to guard against death ( sin- angel of death) and the unleavened bread to represent sinlessness, in Yeshua later on, but then a representation of how the blood washes the sin away. When taken out of the Passover ritual I think it loses 90% of its meaning.
