ABOUT THIS GROUP

This meetup group is the New-York City branch of the Order Of The Essenes, founded by Rabbi Desiree Ntolo, the direct descendant of an Essene follower of Yeshua (Jesus).

We believe in, and follow the teachings of Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth. But we are not Christians.
We are people from many religious denominations, coming from all nations of the Earth, who are interested in knowing all about the historical Yeshua (Jesus). On that account, this is the group to join, because the teachings imparted in this group are based on the legacy of the experiences of one Hebrew Essene who walked with Jesus, as his follower and childhood friend.
All are welcome to join, provided they want to live the Essene lifestyle of our Master Yeshua and his disciples, and practize what they practized, not the version that later presented to Humanity by the Church of Rome.

                                                           HERE'S A BIT MORE ABOUT US

The Essenes were a mystical branch of Judaism, steeped in knowledge of the Qabalah.

The Order of the Essenes is a spiritual path, an occult Kabbala community for people of all races and colors who are interested in the Historical Jesus/Yeshua of Nazareth. You not only want to know who he was, but also want to practice the original faith he set up. Thus, those who have become disillusioned with Christianity and want to worship like Jesus worshipped, without criticizing, judging, or imposing themselves on other creeds are invited to join. This is also for the Jewish person who recognizes that Jesus has something special to offer.

Yeshua Bar Joseph of Nazareth was raised both in the Essene Wisdom of the Ancient Rabbinical Mysteries, as well as in the Pharisaic Synagogue of his village, in which he underwent his Bar-Mitzvah. His faith was one of tolerance, knowledge, and wisdom. He deeply believed in, as well as practiced the ancient Kabbalistic traditions of the Hebrews. He was the FIRST Jew that declared that Kabbalah was for, and should be taught, to everyone who seeks it.

Therefore, we worship like he did, follow his original teachings, not the falsified ones that were given to humanity by the Church of Rome, and that have now been spread through Christendom.

So, while worshipping, we actively seek our Divine Realization while we live. We fast, and follow the path he followed, and we emulate what he did as he explained CLEARLY: "Everything I do now, you too can do, and more..."

We consider Yeshua to be our Teacher, our Rabbi, and our Prophet. However, we worship GOD, as he did, as he exclaimed.."Our father, who art in heaven..."

In other words...to us, Jesus is NOT GOD. He did NOT ask to be worshipped, though in his time he was indeed "A" Messiah, like those who have been, and those who will come now, and in the future...

We believe in spiritual enlightenment and actively seek it. We practice the ancient kabbalistic rituals of the Essenes and are tolerant of other religions, faiths, and creeds. Aside from educating people about what Jesus really said and taught, and what really happened to him, we do not spend our time and energy reviling other groups, claiming that we are right, and we are the only WAY. Simply, we let others BE. If you are one who is NOT a member of a Christian or Jewish organization who has contempt for other groups, please join us! We can offer you an opportunity to learn what Jesus wanted us all to learn and to be.

Those aspirants who feel inclined will have the opportunity to become Essene Monks and Nuns, living on the community premises on a permanent basis, in the old-fashioned Essene way. We intend to have worldwide branches, and they will become immediately active when there are a minimum of 5 members.

There are no fees to attend the meet-ups, but donations will be requested at meetings.

As Essenes, we encourage people to live fully and joyfully, albeit in a dignified, honest, and lawful manner. Essene monks and nuns have the right to marry and have families...

Members who seek training in the MYSTERIES of the Qabalah, as it was transmitted to Abraham, Moses, Solomon, and Jesus, must join the Order of the Essenes.
