Israel News: Beersheva's Messianic Jews Await Trial Outcome

Life hasn't been very pleasant for Beersheva's Messianic Jews of Israel.

JERUSALEM - A pivotal court case takes place this week in a trial involving the rights of Messianic Jews in Israel.

In December 2005, hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Beersheva stormed a congregation of Messianic Jews - Jews who believe Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.

The attackers violently disrupted a baptismal service and police found it difficult to restore order.

It wasn't the first time the congregation had been harassed. The attack eventually led the Messianic Jews to bring Beersheva's chief rabbi and the regional head of a group called Yad L'achim to court.

Continues

Pray for the Lord's justice to prevail in this legal case.
