Shalom Center is an Orthodox-Jewish (learning) center
based in
Susya - Har Hevron which runs a Jewish study program in Israel about the Judaism
and organizes in The Netherlands and Belgium
(study) meetings regarding the Jewish faith and provides information and lessons
besides the Jewish faith about Christianity
related to Judaism, Israel, Zionism, Giyur and Aliyah.
Shalom Center is the former Messianic Congregation
Shalom Gemeente Dordrecht - The Netherlands of which most of its members stepped out of
Christianity. Several of them did giyur and became Orthodox-Jewish (and in the
mean time Aliyah to Eretz Israel). Others study to become Orthodox-Jewish or
want to
remain Bnei-Noach.

Since December 2000 (right after the beginning of 2nd intifada, when the
terror attacks against Israel and the Jewish people increased enormous)
Shalom Gemeente,
Dordrecht started with encouragement trips to Israel to comfort the people of
Israel (Jes. 40:1-11).
Next
also
was
started to
spread honest news reports about the actual situation in Israel. In September
2001 the Living Water Fellowship is, Assen joined with the trips.
That is how
Beth MeVaseret.org
Afterwards others got involved.
The goal
of Beth MeVaseret was
however much more is than only the housing of encouragers of the Jewish
people. It is a platform, in word and deed, of Believers in the Bible, who
stand with Israel.
Total some 40 Christian congregations and or ministries joined the work in
one or other way.
After
Shalom Gemeente
stepped out of Christianity (after
joined bible-studies during the encouragement trips with Orthodox-Jews
from the settlements) and became
Shalom Center
a Jewish information center the activities of
Beth MeVaseret.org
became part of the activities of
Shalom Center.
Ø
Shalom Center
organizes (study) meetings, provides
information and lessons about Judaism, Christianity
related to Judaism, Israel, Zionism, Giyur and Aliyah in Israel, Belgium and the
Netherlands. In Susya we have (with the approval of the local Rabbi (Rav. E.
Altshuler) a study program, a Beth Midrash for non-Jewish persons who want to study about Judaism.
Further we provides lessons about the actual situation and the perspective for
peace based at the Tanach.
Ø
Shalom Center provides
information regarding Judaism verses Christianity to promote respect and understanding about the differences between
the Christian faith and the Jewish faith.
Some of our Orthodox-Jewish team members are
former Christians who know the Christian world and theology from inside.
Ø Shalom
Center provides
information Christianity for
Jewish organizations, (government) institutions and schools. Because of a lack of information about Christianity and
Christian group, sometimes there is a to much reservation towards Christians who
love Israel. At the other hand there also sometimes is a to big cooperation with
Christians/groups whose deep wish it its to convert Jews to Christianity (or of
variant of it) which results in a neglect of the Torah instructions
.
Ø Shalom
Center
offers help with dealing giyur requests of people (with Christian background).
We provide lesson program(s) to institutions dealing with geerim in order that
these possible geerim will be well educated in the aspects Judaism differs from
Christianity to prevent future fallbacks caused by lack of knowledge and
understanding at the moment of giyur.
Ø For
those who
want
to
observe the Thora instructions and
join
the people of Israel we
provide information who to contact, what to studie and what to do.
Isa
56:1-7, Isa 14:1, Isa 27:13. Isa 56 "Thus
saith HaShem: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to
come, and My favour to be revealed. 2 Happy is the man that doeth this,
and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from
profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 3 Neither let the alien,
that hath joined himself to HaShem, speak, saying: ‘HaShem will surely separate
me from His people’; neither let the eunuch say: ‘Behold, I am a dry tree.’ 4
For thus saith HaShem concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose
the things that please Me, and hold fast by My covenant: 5 Even unto them
will I give in My house and within My walls a monument and a memorial better
than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting memorial, that shall
not be cut off. 6 Also the aliens, that join themselves to HaShem, to minister
unto Him, and to love the name of HaShem, to be His servants, every one that
keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant: 7
Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of
prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine
altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.".

Shalom Center encourages
every Israelite to examine the roots of their faith so that they know more
