 Messianic Jewish Publishers & Resources


🕊️ A Legacy of Faith, Teaching, and Outreach

Messianic Jewish Publishers & Resources has a long-standing history of reaching Jewish people with the message of the Messiah and providing high-quality biblical resources for global readers.

📜 Our Beginning

December 7, 1941 marked a significant moment in history as the United States entered World War II. During this same year, Dr. Henry Einspruch published the Yiddish New Testament — a groundbreaking work that brought God’s Word to Jewish people in their native language.

Even during times of global hardship and suffering, this publication became a source of hope and spiritual life for many who encountered the message of Scripture.

📚 Our Mission Over the Years

Over the decades, the publications of Lederer / Messianic Jewish Publishers & Resources have impacted thousands of Jewish people worldwide. Through books, Bibles, and tracts, the message of Messiah has been shared across Orthodox Jewish communities, Messianic congregations, and global outreach ministries.

Our ministry continues to focus on three core purposes:

  • Reaching Jewish people with the message of the Messiah
  • Teaching non-Jewish believers about the Jewish roots of their faith
  • Strengthening the global Messianic movement with quality resources

✡️ A Dedicated Publishing House

Messianic Jewish Publishers remains a dedicated publishing house focused on producing high-quality Messianic literature. We support authors in bringing their works to print and ensure that meaningful biblical resources are available to readers worldwide.
