YAAKOV BEN YEHOSHUA

Founder and Spiritual leader Yaakov Brown spent seven years under the tutelage of Rabbi Michael Terret of B'nai Chayim, our sister congregation in Alberta, Canada. During that time Yaakov Brown chanted the Torah prayer service as chazan, expounded Dvar Torah and studied in the B'nai Chayim Yeshivah at the feet of Rebbe Michael ben Yochanan. Yaakov Ben Yehoshua Brown is a descendant of the Israel and Isaacs families, some of Aotearoa, New Zealand's first Jewish immigrants,  founding members of the Sha'arei Tikvah synagogue in Auckland during the mid eighteen hundreds, and later members of Beth Israel (now Auckland Hebrew Congregation).  Yaakov Brown's family continue to seek to perpetuate a Messianic Jewish tradition for future generations. A tradition that acknowledges and advocates for the authenticity of the promised, present and coming  Jewish Messiah Yeshua Ha-Mashiyach. ​
