About Faith and Community
Shalom and a Warm Welcome to All
Key Elements of the Ministry
- The Name: "Anaf Tivi" (ענף טבעי) translates to "Natural Branch" from Hebrew. This is a direct reference to the biblical theology found in the New Testament (Romans 11), regarding the grafting of Gentiles into the "One New Man."
- Leadership Background: The ministry is the result of a major transition. For more than 30 years, Gil Burgos had once operated Gil Burgos Ministries, an independent evangelical organization based out of The Bronx, where he served as a Christian pastor. He then subsequently transitioned into a Messianic Jewish rabbi, and describes himself as a "Ba'al Teshuva," which is a Jewish person from a secular or non-Orthodox background, who has returned to traditionally observant roots.
