Beth Ariel Congregation’s Messianic Leader is Jacques Isaac Gabizon, a Sephardic Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus). Born in Casablanca, Morocco and hailing from a long line of rabbinical ancestry, Pastor Gabizon came to faith in 1976 after investigating and accepting the claims of the Old Testament prophets as to who the Messiah is. His teaching of the Scriptures emphasizes the Jewish perspective, incorporating the cultural, social, and rabbinical teaching to help draw a more accurate understanding of the Scriptures as a whole. J. Isaac and his wife Sharon have 4 children and ten grandchildren.
