Jewish & Arab Young Adults Worshipping Together Provokes New Faith

A few months ago Dor Haba (a Jerusalem based, youth focused, worship and prayer ministry) held a conference for young adults (18-26) at a hostel in the centre of Tel Aviv. Many of the Jewish and Arab followers of Yeshua (Jesus) who came, said it was such an amazing time of refreshing for them to be in the presence of God and to come together with other Believers.

Some of the attendees were doing their national service and had been called up to serve in the war - they expressed how it was the first time they had been able to receive prayer or worship together for months.

There were about 100 other guests in the hostel and many of them sat in on the meetings, bought Dor Haba T-Shirts and most importantly, asked who these people were and why they were worshipping together as Jews and Arabs. (Especially as the IDF soldiers could be seen worshipping and praying hand in hand with the Arab Believers.)

“We were able to tell so many of them about Yeshua, and about the dividing walls He has broken down through His work on the cross. It was so cool,” shared Tal, Director of Dor Haba.

“The manager told me after we left that guests were still talking about our group — that we brought so much joy to the hostel through the music.

“Our kitchen staff got to share the Lord with a young lady who was displaced to Tel Aviv from kibbutz Be’eri in the South (after the October 7th massacre). She told them how over 200 people she knew personally were either kidnapped or killed on October 7th.

She spoke with us for four hours on the first day, and was with us the whole day the next day. Someone on our kitchen staff gave her a New Testament, and she read the first seven chapters of Matthew that night.

A week later she called to tell us she had read the whole New Testament and now wanted to re-read the Old Testament in light of that, and also come to Succat Hallel.

“People are hungry. People are hurting. And people are searching. We are blessed that we got to be a light together in that hostel in the centre of Tel Aviv. What an opportunity!”
