In this message, Rabbi Dr. Joshua Brumbach explores what “discipleship” truly meant in the first‑century Jewish world and why it still matters for us today. Drawing from Matthew 4, he outlines the four core responsibilities of a disciple — memorizing the teacher’s words, learning their interpretations, imitating their actions, and raising up new disciples — and challenges us to reclaim this calling with intention. Rabbi Brumbach emphasizes that outreach is not the job of one leader but the shared responsibility of the entire community. Through everyday conversations, small acts of kindness, and the courage to share our own stories, each of us can plant seeds that help others encounter Yeshua and strengthen Simchat Yisrael for the next generation.
