Chosen People Ministries was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1894 by a Hungarian rabbi named Leopold Cohn, who became a believer. Rabbi Cohn saw physical and spiritual needs in the Jewish community around him, and he responded!  Since then, Chosen People Ministries has grown to work in 17 countries globally.

His passion has never ceased. Chosen People Ministries has workers who creatively evangelize and disciple Jewish seekers on the streets, university campuses, in congregations, and around a friend’s dining table.

Chosen People Ministries loves to invest in young people for the growth of the next generation, to lead our Messianic Jewish Movement in reaching those who don’t yet know Yeshua. That is why we happily sponsor the Muchan Conference. If you are coming to the conference, be sure to send Chosen People Ministries a thank you and even a little description of how the conferences have impacted your life!

The Charles Feinberg Messianic Center offers a Master of Divinity in Messianic Jewish Studies, as well as a certificate program to equip young people with the tools to be educators, outreach workers, and congregational leaders.

Short-term service opportunities include Outreach Israel, Shalom New York, and outreach to Israeli backpackers in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia at our “Zula” lodges. We also have a one-year internship through the House of Living Waters campus evangelism program in New York City. These provide ways to step out and dedicate some time to ministry and service (and a bit of travel!) in Israel, New York City, and beyond!
