HaYesod in Detail

Program Development

"HaYesod / הַיְסוֹד" is a Hebrew word meaning, The Foundation. This discipleship program was designed for large groups, small groups, or individuals.

The program was originally developed and published in Jerusalem, Israel, by believers in the Messiah Yeshua. It was later further developed and enhanced by creating 14 video lessons.

Our trained and professional video teachers will graciously share how we all are uniquely united with the Land, the People, and the Scriptures of Israel.
