Aybars Uckun is the Assistant Rabbi & VP of Awesome at Restoration. He came to know Yeshua in a Messianic synagogue in 1997 after being raised in a Muslim home. Before moving to Seattle in 2012, he served for many years as a volunteer leader of Beth Zion in Jackson, NJ. Aybars is the world's first non-Jewish Turkish Rabbi and this reflects the heart of God to bring all people back to Himself and one of our core values that everyone belongs in the family of God.
