"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

(Matthew 7:24)

How Did HaYesod Start?

First Fruits of Zion originally created HaYesod in 1998 to address the growing interest in the Jewish origins of the Christian faith. Over the last fifteen years, thousands of Christians and Jewish believers have reconnected with the Land, the People, and the Scriptures of Israel through the HaYesod program. In 2010 the entire program was redeveloped and is now used on a continual basis by many groups to learn about the Jewish foundation of Christianity.
