There are moments in Israel when the spiritual atmosphere feels tender… open… expectant. Moments when the message of hope can break through in ways it couldn’t before. This year, that moment is arriving in Jerusalem — just as the lights of Hanukkah begin to glow and the world turns its attention to Christmas — in Hebrew “Hag HaMolad” — the Feast of the Birth.
These two celebrations — so different in practice — carry one shared truth at their core: Light Himself has come. Darkness does not win. And God keeps His promises through Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel.
Christmas reveals the birth of the Light.
Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Light.
And both find their fullness in Yeshua, the center of God’s redemptive story.
This December, Beit Hallel Congregation has the privilege of carrying that message directly to the heart of Israel’s capital.
An Invitation to 400 Israelis — A First Encounter with Their Messiah
We are preparing a special Christmas and Hanukkah outreach in Jerusalem for 400 Israelis — many of them new immigrants and secular families who may know almost nothing about Yeshua, but who are hungry for meaning, stability, and hope.
To most Israelis, Christmas is nothing more than a Western holiday. Few realize that Hag HaMolad — the Feast of the Birth — celebrates the birth of the Jewish Messiah, born in this land, to fulfill promises made to this people.
And Hanukkah? Its message of dedication, purity, and miracle points directly to the Light of the World, who Himself declared:
“I am the Light of Israel… whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness.”
It is in this season — a season already filled with light and longing — that the Gospel shines with a clarity that reaches even guarded hearts.
What Makes This Outreach So Unique
This day is not a lecture or a performance. It is a warm, safe, joy-filled encounter with the presence and love of Yeshua. Through worship, the Gospel, testimonies, and heart-to-heart conversation, Israelis will see:
- Yeshua is the center of Christmas, not Western tradition
- Hag HaMolad is the celebration of Israel’s own King and Messiah
- Hanukkah points prophetically to Yeshua as the Light, the Miracle, and the Cleansing of the Temple
- The Spirit of God is still moving in Israel, drawing people to Himself
Our hope is that many will hear the Gospel in a way they never have — gently, beautifully, and clearly — and come face to face with the One who gives life.
Your Sponsorship Brings One Israeli to Jerusalem to Encounter Yeshua
To make this outreach possible, we must cover transportation, meals, the venue, and a tour to Biblical sites. The cost for one Israeli to participate is $70.
- $70 → one Israeli hears the Gospel
- $140 → two Israelis
- $700 → ten Israelis
- $2,800 → a full bus of forty people
Every sponsorship is a chance for one person to encounter the truth of who Yeshua is — the Messiah of Israel, the Light of the World, the fulfillment of every promise.
This is more than generosity. This is partnership in salvation.
Why This Year Matters
Jerusalem is the place where Yeshua taught, healed, wept, suffered, died, and rose again. It is the city where the prophets spoke and where God revealed His heart for His people.
To proclaim the Gospel here — during Hanukkah and Hag HaMolad — is no coincidence. It is prophetic. It is a declaration that:
The Light that was born in Bethlehem, revealed in Jerusalem, and poured out on Israel is still shining today.
Help Us Lift Up the Name of Yeshua in His Own City
We invite you to stand with us. Your prayers and your generosity make this possible. Together, we can bring the message of Yeshua — the Light of Hanukkah, the center of Hag HaMolad, the Messiah of Israel — to 400 Israelis who need to hear it.
Thank you for helping us lift high the name of Yeshua in Jerusalem — the city of the Great King.
