## Resource

We just participated in our first TikTok livestream with @hellomrsrachel She has us on to discuss FAQ’s for Messianic Jews after the amazing response to her video explaining that she is a Messianic Jew. That video now has over 246,000 views! Here is the recording! If you have TikTok, we encourage you to follow her channel !

Note: For clarification, our view and the view of the Messianic Jewish community is that you are Jewish if you have a mother or a father who is Jewish. We emphasized matrilineal descent in this video because each of our mothers are Jewish.
