Meet our Rabbi,
"I was raised in a very strict religious home. Like so many I wandered from my faith in my youth and I had struggled with my faith until 2010 when I came into "Messianic" Judaism (Yeshua believing Judaism) and I had found my soul (neshama) and inner longing within Yeshua. I grew up all over the world, raised in a military family and then retired from the military and Department of Defense myself. After years of soul searching, I answered God's call and began my ministry founded Beit haSha’ar Messianic Fellowship in June 2015. Previously served as a Zahken (Elder) and Moreh (Teacher)."
Rabbi Lehtimaki received his s'micha (ordination) as a Ro'eh from the United Messianic Jewish Assembly (UMJA) in 2015 and s'micha as a Rabbi from Y'Sharim USA/International in 2016.
Rabbi Lehtimaki was honored to serve as the Vice President of the Beit Din of the UMJA from 2022-2026.
Rabbi Lehtimaki has written and published two books; "Let's talk Messianic" & "Death & Dimensions".
Rabbi Lehtimaki has been happily married to his b'shert (soulmate), Lois for 43 years, they have 2 children and 12 grandchildren. They live a Torah observant life to the glory of God and pray that their ministry will build up HaShem's kingdom to accomplish His will and purposes.
