Tell me, is the language, hebrew or German?How the traditional Jews see Messianic Jews?

On the CD Jerushalaim, everything is in Hebrew. On the other CDs, there are also German songs. But our Messinic Jews in Germany don't sing in Hebrew or German. They sing in Russia. Many Jews are returning from Russia, either to Israel or to Germany. So most of our Messianic Jews in Germany speak Russian actually. I am currently working on the homepage of our Messianic church, you can get more information there when it is ready. The traditional Jews of course sneer at the Messianic Jews. But you have to also understand their position. They suffered so much under Christian people who claimed to live by the name of Jesus and under the symbol of the cross. So, there is a big averseness to everything that looks Christians. Still, many recognize that Jesus - Yeshua HaMashiach - is their savior, and their number is increasing. They also reestablished old Jewish traditions in the light of Jesus. Many of our Christian traditions and holidays have actually pagan origin, they have only been newly interpreted (which is not necessarily wrong). The Messianic Jews are doing this with old Jewish traditions, which is much better. For instance, they celebrate Hanukah instead of Christmas. See related article in Christian magazine. I believe there will be a revival among the Jews one day, maybe soon.

Everything in life need not have a destination,IMHO.

You are right, sometimes we need to do something which is simply recreating and sportful. But I think this can be done without wasting so much money and risking your life in such a silly way. For instance, by jogging or playing chess ;-)
