As believers we are constantly examining history, taking stock of current situations and prayerfully setting direction for the future. This is true for movements as well.

We are interested in possibly Semitic etyma. Among 156 the other things, we consider controversies not just concerning individual etymologies, but also concerning approaches.

  • Publishing Literature for the Future of Jewish Evangelism
    Publishing Literature for the Future of Jewish Evangelism Barry Rubin Messianic Jewish Communications Steve Cohen‟s paper on tract passing was persuasive. Broadsides have influenced many people. In fact, I myself received some broadsides in 1972, which got my attention enough that I ultimately came to believe that Yeshua was the Messiah. I also wrote a few broadsides in my days with Jews for Jesus and handed out what seems like millions of these tracts in six years with Jews for Jesus, while serving in several other capacities. There is a place for this method of evangelism. Yet, it took more than broadsides to convince me to believe, as is true with most Jewish people. Broadsides get attention, but more is needed, something more substantial. Before I trusted Yeshua in 1973, at The Lederer Foundation building in Baltimore, I was given some of the books published by this organization, many of which you have seen. I have no statistics, but I know many Jews were brought closer to Yeshua through these books. From 1980-1982, I served as director of a small Jewish mission in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and then joined what was then, the American Board of Missions to the Jews, now CPM, until 1988. Toward the end of my time with CPM, I met Einspruch, the widow of Dr. Henry Einspruch, director of The Lederer Foundation, at a Passover Seder. Marie asked me to consider taking over this ministry. In fact, she had previously talked to Steve Cohen, since Lederer had been a Lutheran ministry and her board thought a Lutheran should be the director.

  • Letter from the Editors
    Here is the updated cover!! LETTER FROM THE EDITORS In Leviathan’s 43rd year of publication, we decided to take a publishing hiatus. In light of our leadership transition this academic year, the organization reevaluated Leviathan’s purpose, mission, and legacy at UCSC. Tis transformative undertaking started simply, during our weekly meetings. We decided to frame each meeting around a discussion topic that pertained to relevant issues of identity and experience, but were also grounded in journalistic ethics. Opening up the space to all voices provided much insight into the diversity of opinions and backgrounds of our collaborators. Taking the time to restructure our meetings initially led to more steps backward into Leviathan’s past than forward into its future. Our website was slowly decaying, our outreach had ended in missed connections, and members felt uprooted by the structural changes of the organization. So, we put the Fall 2015 issue on hold and sat down together. First as a leadership board to rewrite our mission, then as a group to ask how we could better serve Jewish and non-Jewish students in our space. And by doing so, we transformed the chain of command into active collaboration which led to a more inspired work environment. Trough a more democratic decision-making process, we were able to bring problems to the table and leave each meeting with hopeful solutions. When the website lef us at dead ends, Eva took on the great task of renovating it beyond our expectations. Jason and Lior both brought thoughtful and insightful conversation points to the table.
