Jеff & Viхiе Friеdmаn

Messianic Rabbi Jеff Friеdmаn and his family began working among the Jewish people in 1989. They planted a Messianic Jewish congregation in the city of Philadelphia, PA and spent the next 16 years nurturing it. During this time they also taught in many churches on the Jewish roots of Christianity, the nation of Israel, and the Jewish people.

In 2009, the Friеdmаns expanded their ministry to the worldwide Jewish community. Since that time they have been ministering to the physical and spiritual needs of Jewish communities around the world.

Humanitarian and medical aid often opens the doors to sharing the one true hope of Jacob’s children: Jesus/Y’shua, the Messiah and King of the Jews. In the past few years the Friеdmаns have ministered to Jewish people in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Ethiopia, Turkey, and of course, Israel. In addition, they have done seminars, leadership training, and teaching in the Warsaw Theological Seminary, Kiev Theological Seminary and Valley Forge Christian College. Many Jewish people have come to faith in Messiah Y’shua through their ministry. Existing congregations have been strengthened, and new ones have been planted.

Rabbi Jeff has a B.S. in Pharmacy and a M.A. in Biblical Studies as well as a M.S. in Administration.  He has worked as a Pharmacist since 1976 as well as a full time Messianic Rabbi since 1989.

Vixie has a B.S. in Nursing and was a Captain in the Army Nurse Corp.  Vixie worked as a nurse for 25 years.  Today she enjoys teaching the youth in Classical Conversations.

Jeff and Vixie meet at the 97th General Army Hospital in Frankfurt Germany, and have been married for 40 years.  They have 6 children and 5 grandchildren (at the moment).

Today, new doors of ministry have opened up for the Friеdmаn family. They have begun a new international 501(c)3 ministry called Children of Jacob. This new ministry will better enable the Friеdmаns to reach Jewish people around the world.
