Out of this World!
Synopsis:
Hey all you 10-15 year-olds! Y’shua’s Youth is a program designed just for you.

Did you know that you’re also existing, right now, in an invisible dimension held together with its own set of absolutes? Join us as we explore the unchanging laws of the dimension of the kingdom of our Heavenly Father. This class is guaranteed to impact your view of this world and your relationship with our amazing Messiah. Join us for games, campfires, art projects, dancing, thought-provoking classroom discussions, and more.

Daniel Campau
Title:
It’s All About Relationship
Synopsis:
How is your relationship with the Messiah? Interestingly, our opinion of our relationship is not what matters, but Messiah’s relationship with us. I plan to discuss the importance of Messiah’s relationship with us, showing from scripture how this perspective is important to our savior, but also what His requirements are for a proper relationship as we walk our walk in faithfulness.
Title:
Our Words are Important
Synopsis:
Too often we as followers of Messiah are not careful with the words we speak. Too often we offend or hurt others unintentionally and sometimes intentionally. I plan on showing how the authors of scripture viewed and taught how we should use our words carefully to build up and not tear down. Our lives are filled with problems, we do not need to add to our troubles by careless words.
Bio:
We, myself and family, live in Fennville Michigan. we have been blessed with 5 children, 2 adopted, and are still learning and growing in our walk with Messiah. I have worked for the same Company for 40 years now and have walked with Messiah even longer. I work for Besser as an electrical engineer and I walk with Messiah as a student.

Mildred “Milly” Crawmer
Title:
Bat Mitzvah
Synopsis:
You may be asking, “what is a Bar Mitzvah or a Bat Mitzvah?” (It literally means Son or Daughter of the commandments.)
Or What does this mean for believers in Yeshua?
Yeshua tells us if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. (John 14:15) What does our Heavenly Father think of Bar & Bat Mitzvahs or a coming of age? His own son (Yeshua) had a coming of age. At the age of 12 Yeshua went to the temple for 3 days teaching on the scriptures. (Luke 2:41-52) Later we see the Heavens open at Yeshua’s Mikveh with the Father’s voice from heaven “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased!” (Matthew 3:17) Revelation 12:17 speaks of “Those who keep God’s commandments and hold Yeshua’s testimony.” These are the ones who trust in Yeshua and keep His commandments. When the accuser comes and accuses them, Yeshua testifies on their behalf!
As believers our love for Yeshua should produce fruit and make us strive to follow in Yeshua’s footsteps. This special coming of age tradition allows young adults to share their spiritual journey while exalting the Father, the scriptures and their personal walk with Yeshua! Plan for worship, Hebrew dance, the tradition of parents giving of the Hebraic prayer shawl, and the young adult’s birthday Torah portion teaching.
We encourage anyone to attend. Families, singles, seasoned believers, new to the faith or event those searching will find new challenges to strengthen their walk with Yeshua.
Milly has been preparing over the last year. Her faith has grown with a love and knowledge for Torah. She is excited to share the many insights she has discovered through her daily reading. It is our prayer this next generation of young adults will be inspired to continue this wonderful tradition! “Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)
Bio:
Milly is 14 years old and comes from McGregor, Iowa currently. She moved three years ago from Oregon where her family lived for 9 generations. Milly accepted Yeshua as her savior when she was 4 years old both at home and the next day while at Shabbat. Her family came to Torah when she was 5 years of age. She is the youngest child of Russ and Ruth Crawmer, the 5th and last child in the family of mostly adult brothers and sisters. Milly naturally loves to create humor in any situation and enjoys looking for how the Hebrew can make the English Biblical text show the deeper meaning through the original text. Over the past 4 years, Milly has read through the Bible four times and has spent time working closely with trained Hebrew teacher Kevin Wells and taken instruction under her Father Russ Crawmer. Milly has enjoyed the challenge this year of preparation has presented and is keen to share what she has learned from the passage.
During the school week, Milly has attended Home school for the past 4 years and recently moved over to private Christian School. As the youngest, she is passionate about all things out doors, animals, hard work, BMX biking, intense hikes/mountain climbing and getting into the dirt/mud. For fun, Milly practices push-ups, burpies and pull-ups and loves to engage friends in competitions of endurance. Friends find her conversation light and her thoughts kavod.
Josephine Davis
Title:
Clues In Colossians (2 Young Adults Sessions)
Synopsis:
Hey Y’all, I’m so excited to lead a young adult bible study! A bible study for young adults lead by young adults, to dive into the word to learn more about how to be young adults in the faith. The basis of this study is the book of Colossians and from the book of Psalms, chapters 45, 52, and 56. We want to focus on how young men and women are supposed to act and the way to walk in the faith. My goal is to get Young Adults to talk to one another about how they show their faith in their lives and what are other ways we can all share the gospel.

Now that she is older, Josephine has started leading worship herself at their Sabbath gatherings. If you can’t find her in the basement singing and playing piano, she’s probably with her family telling jokes or with her friends hanging out by the lake.
Gary Dose
Title:
The Sounding of the Shofar
Synopsis:
The Shofar is a biblical instrument, usually made from a ram’s horn, but sometimes from a goat, antelope or kudu. The Shofar is mentioned over 70 times in Scripture. It is used in announcing, warning, celebrations, and the coronation of kings. The ram’s horn represents the ram caught by its horns when Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. Likewise, it represents Yeshua, our substitute and deliverer, the Horn of our Salvation. The sounding of the shofar calls Yahweh’s people to repentance, faith and devotion.
If you would like to use your shofar as a tool of worship during this feast, it will be helpful to come to this training session! Join us as we learn about the basics of the shofar, various calls and their functions, and shofar protocol. Bring your shofars along!

Kevin Wells
Title:
Disciples Prayer: Hebrew Insights
Synopsis:
If your spirit always has trouble accepting a few sections of the English translations for the Disciples Prayer… this Darash offers a translation from Hebrew consistent with TaNaKh & will provide Shalom for your soul. Use of Hebrew to show what Yeshua was saying in the disciples prayer. He did not violate Torah & He did not tell his Talmudim to ask Adonai:
1.a) “Don’t lead us into temptation” Or 1.b) “Don’t put us to hard testing” And 2.) “Deliver us from evil”
More Hebrew content, however very accessible insights for all. No prior knowledge of Hebrew is required for you to benefit from this class.
Title:
Panorama of the Ages from Aleph-Beit
Synopsis:
Considering noun/verb images in each Hebrew character to build & display a brief summary of His plan for the ages. Even for talmudim taking a first look at Hebrew, the “heavy lifting” will turn out to be manageable & enjoyable. No prior knowledge of Hebrew is required for you to benefit from this class.
Premises: By faith & evidence we have each come to know: Torah is living & active, sharper than any double-edged kerev… and we realize Torah is designed & built by Yeshua from the letters of Hebrew. Thus, Aleph-Beit is perhaps legit to consider as both a supply of materials & a kit of tools… custom-made by Yeshua… deployed to serve His delight, for speaking & fashioning all devarim into existence… creating, recording & displaying miracles. Therefore we might not be surprised to find each character of Aleph-Beit as also designed with purpose, meaning & attributes. Many clearly being revealed in Torah, illustrated by consistent use, tied to familiar images & concepts, providing insights that resonate in our faith toward Oseh Shalom.
Bio:
Congregation: Beit Brit Messianic. Bend, OR. Believer in Yeshua 1980. Married over 50yrs to my HS beauty Donna. 2 kids, 8 grand, 1 great. Still enjoying working with a commercial sign company. We are blessed having the covering & testimony of Yeshua & opportunity to share the marvels of Oseh Shalom. Always a joy studying Torah portions with family in the morning, using a lens of Hebrew & Jewish insights. We look for treasures He arranges & conceals for us in advance.
Ryan White
Title:
The Uncontrollable God
Synopsis:
In “The Uncontrollable God,” we delve into the profound mystery of God’s self-revelation to Moses as “I am who I am,” highlighting His resistance to human attempts at control and definition throughout the Hebrew Bible. By examining Jesus’ refusal of limiting titles and His powerful “I Am” statements, we uncover a divine identity that transcends human expectations and invites us into a deeper understanding of His nature. This teaching challenges us to embrace the awe-inspiring mystery of a God who defies constraints and calls us to a faith beyond boundaries.
Bio:
Ryan White utilizes evidence-based research to teach the Scriptures in its original historical context. He has a Masters in Biblical Studies degree focusing on the Biblical languages, Biblical history, and ancient culture. Ryan focuses on the sacrificial system, honor and shame, the equity of Torah, the Gospels, and other key areas in order to bring a message of unification to the body of Messiah.
He will challenge you to look at the Bible in many new and exciting ways.
The Rehearsal desires to provide messages that encourage and exhort the body to a greater relationship with our Heavenly Father. While we believe that all of the selected speakers also share this goal, we do realize that not everyone has the same understanding of the scriptures. The messages may not reflect the exact beliefs held by the board but may provide an opportunity for study and introspection. We ask that grace and mercy rule our conversations and questions while discussing various topics and ideas that may or may not agree with your understanding.
