Rabbi Michael Shorb
Update: 2025-09-27
Description
Rabbi Michael Shorb is a third generation Messianic Jew. Even though he was raised in a believing home, his own personal faith and commitment to the L-rd didn’t come until much later. While in the service, he became friends with a believer and while visiting his friend’s farm, he heard the friend’s mother, a devout believer, praying for him and calling out his name before the Lord. God began to place people in Shorb’s life who would pray for him, minister to him, and eventually he surrendered to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The Lord called him to reach Russian speaking Jews. He went to Kyiv and he traveled to Ukraine four times a year, where he became a member of the world's largest Messianic congregation in Kyiv. While in Ukraine, Rabbi Michael went into prisons and to rehab centers. He experienced the casting out of demons and those who were instantly healed from drug addiction. But the Lord showed him that his true calling was to be in his own home, near Baltimore, Maryland.
Rabbi Michael had visited Israel and had pondered making Aliyah, but he clearly heard the Lord tell him to go home to his people in Maryland, where there are approximately 250,000 Russian-speaking Jews. The Lord impressed on him that if all the believing Jews left, who would teach his people?
Rabbi Michael's Congregation, Beit Chesed (House of Mercy), is located in Baltimore County in Reisterstown, Maryland.
