Speakers/Teachers - Season of Our Joy is not a
convention, nor is it a seminar. It's more like a Family Reunion .
. . those who come, do so because they want to be there - they
want to keep the festival with those of like mind. And because we
want this to be more of a "family" thing, we generally do not
solicit
speakers. Instead, we select them from amongst those in the
Hebraic movement who we know will be keeping the festival anyway, and
with whom we are familiar. In most cases, these are the same
people who have attended SOOJ in the past.
SOOJ has two "litmus test" requirements for their speakers:
- they must believe and teach that Yeshua (Jesus) is Israel's
Messiah, the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecies, and
- they must believe and teach that the Law of Moses, the Torah,
teaches the walk that the people of God should subscribe to.
There are actually a number of other requirements that pertain to
protocol, delivery, and content, but these are the two MAJOR ones.
To accept anything less from the speakers would do nothing but cause
confusion.
If you would like to teach at the festival, or if you know someone
who is looking for a place to observe the festival and they might be a
good teacher, be sure to
contact us.
The sooner the better . . . speaking slots fill quickly!
