Welcoming the Sabbath: A Lumbroso Family Tradition
Looking for a way to join the worldwide Messianic Jewish community in bringing the biblical Sabbath into your own home? It can be hard to know where to start; most siddur books are long, complicated, or not Messianic. Get these easy-to-use books to guide you through some simple traditions to welcome the weekly Sabbath at your table. Perfect for families, singles, and congregations! There is a wealth of Jewish culture that is expressed through its abundance of applications. This publication is by no means intended to be an exhaustive, dogmatic tutorial, but rather, a sharing of personal traditions from Messianic Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso’s table to yours. Rabbi Gabriel derives his messianic Kabbalat Shabbat (welcoming of the sabbath) tradition from Jewish traditional prayer books, supplemented with early Jewish believers’ traditions, and seasoned with the Tunisian-Sephardic customs of his family. We hope you will enjoy this Shabbat siddur as much as we do. Hebrew, English, and English transliteration. Books open from right to left.
Ethics of the Sons: Turning the Children to the Fathers
by Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso

The prophet Malachi in the Tanach and the angel Gabriel in the Gospel of Luke both speak prophetically of a time when the hearts of the children will be turned to the fathers (Malachi 4:6; Luke 1:17). Although in this generation we may long for children to learn at the feet of their own wise fathers, in his longing for a better world, the prophet was foreseeing something much deeper. He saw a time in the future when students of the Scriptures would learn at the feet of the elders of Israel. Through a series of reflections based on the weekly synagogue’s Torah readings, Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso takes you on a journey to discover the teachings of the Jewish messiah and how, aided by his disciples, he taught the world to sit at the feet of the fathers – Israel’s sages.
The Temple Presented by God to Ezekiel
by John W. Schmitt

​The temple described by the prophet Ezekiel stands as one of the most enigmatic and thought-provoking structures in Scripture. Unlike any other, this temple has never been built, and its design diverges significantly from the temple guidelines given to Moses. Some argue that Ezekiel may have fabricated it, while others believe it symbolizes a profound spiritual truth or foretells a future physical temple yet to come.
Join author John W. Schmitt as he takes you on a journey to uncover the mystery of Ezekiel’s temple, exploring the importance to today’s believer with a fresh perspective that will deepen your understanding.
Yemei Ratzon, Days of Favor: A 40-Day Devotional for the Season of Teshuvah
By Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso & E. L. Wickstrom

There is a unique window of time known to Judaism that spans the 40-day period from the first day of the Hebrew month of Elul through Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Many practitioners of Judaism, as well as those who cling to the tzitzit fringe of Messiah Yeshua (Zechariah 8:23; Matthew 9:20-22), observe this time of personal introspection in preparation for that final week of Sukkot, or Tabernacles, which is said to be the marriage supper of the Lamb. This devotional contains reflections on the 48 Middot commonly meditated on during this time. The word middot/מידות is the plural form of the word middah/מידה. Middot are traits of moral character or virtues that are cultivated through personal growth and life’s natural maturation process. Like many Hebrew words, the word middot has a dualistic meaning. Along with referring to moral character, it also refers to measurements and values, like finding the measure of a person by evaluating their character and dedication to virtue. This book aims to inspire virtue and moral character through reflection, that as we approach the time of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, each page will be an internal and intimate fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah repeated by John the Immerser: The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Adonai in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. Adonai’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of HaShem has spoken it.” (Isaiah 40:3-5; Luke 3:4-5)

Yochanan Presents the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah:
A Messianic Commentary by Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso

As a Jew studying these writings, I have often felt uncomfortable with the fact that most of the assumptions concerning this prophecy are based on Christian “Replacement Theology,” an idea that might have been conceived in the days of Yochanan but had not even budded, much less, birthed. My first question was, “Since Christianity hadn’t really been born at that time, why couldn’t the Book of the Revelation be a Jewish book, understood through the texts of the Torah and its Jewish midrashic interpretations?” My next question was, “Why aren’t Jewish interpretations at least part of this conversation?” As unconventional as it may seem, this book is an attempt to answer these questions.

To present the Book of Revelation from a Jewish perspective is a daunting task. It requires rethinking much of what has been written for two millennia. It feels to me a little bit like Copernicus who tried to convince people that the earth revolved around the sun at a time when most people were convinced that it was the other way around. I will therefore ask the reader to give it a charitable read and an honest hearing, patiently waiting for the “jury” to return. I know you’ll find what I have written to be interesting and revelatory.​ - Rabbi Gabriel Lumbroso
