Shalom Benyamin: I grew up as a Conservative Jew and was baptized into the Catholic Church several years after Yeshua appeared to me in a vision. I currently attend an orthodox shul; although, I have not made my belief in Yeshua known to the Jewish community. I lead an orthodox lifestyle, shomer Shabbos, shomer negiah, daven with a traditional siddur; although I also pray with the monastic diurnal in private, and follow the daily mass readings on my own. Additionally, I study Torah on a daily basis. Essentially, I have gravitated toward a Messianic perspective; although, the expression of my faith is through traditional Judaism. For what it’s worth, I thought to respond to you, even though my journey seems somewhat different than yours. Shalom, Simeon (my baptismal name).
