Tikkun America® - Restoring Five-Fold Ministry Within A Network of Messianic Jewish Congregations [Congregations+]

Ira Brawer was born in New York, April 20, 1950. His family attended an Orthodox synagogue and he was Bar Mitzvahed at the age of thirteen. Like many, Ira strayed from his traditional Jewish upbringing during his teenage years. In 1984, after a search through the Tenach (esp. Isaiah 53) he came to believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah.

Ira attended UMJC's Yeshiva Institute and was ordained as a Messianic Rabbi by the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations in 1991. Later that year he answered G-d's call to plant a Messianic synagogue in South Florida. Rabbi Ira and his family moved to South Florida and established Ayts Chayim Messianic Synagogue in Boca Raton.
In 2006 the congregation established Beit Moreshet, a Messianic discipleship center. This is a vision that was birthed out of the burden to train up the next generation of young Messianic believers, and especially our future leaders.
Rabbi Ira's vision to establish a loving community where Yeshua is at the center, and Jewish life is celebrated in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and strong friendships has been growing strong for nearly 20 years now.
