“We have already received phone calls from many more homosexual groups and couples saying they want to get married here”.

I have visited Yad Hashmona. It is a beautiful Messianic Jewish village just outside the center of Jerusalem.

Nestled in the hills outside of Jerusalem is a Messianic communal village where some 150 Israeli believers live, work and provide a “living testimony” of faith in Yeshua.

But that identity has often come at a price, and recently the village of Yad Hashmonah was sued and ordered to pay damages after it refused to host a lesbian wedding at its beautifully constructed event hall and biblical gardens.

"We have already received phone calls from many more homosexual groups and couples saying they want to get married here. To avoid another legal problem, for now, we simply cannot book anything at all at our guesthouse and event center."

It is very painful to see the downfall of Zion. But this is yet another proof that there is no other way for Jews to be saved, but to accept Yeshua as their Messiah and LORD.
