Tuvya Zaretsky from Jewish-Gentiles Couples on Spiritual Harmony in Cross-Cultural Relationships

Tuvya and his wife Ellen have been married for 41 years. Both are from traditional Jewish backgrounds but identify as Messianic Jews for Jesus (Jews who believe in Jesus). They have 3 adult children, two daughters and a son, and one daughter who is intermarried.

Tuvya holds a Doctorate in Intercultural Studies from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He is the founder of JewishGentileCouples.com, a free counseling service for intercultural couples. JGC ministry helps people who are in Jewish-Gentile relationships (dating, engaged, married, together with or without children) create greater cross-cultural understanding.

Jewish Gentile Couples is a collective of ministers who offer free of charge resources and support to help couples find spiritual harmony. You can listen to couples' stories on the Jewish Gentile Couples Podcast. There are also a great many resources shared on their website, one being a workbook Tuvya created to help a couple come to the understanding that Yeshua can bring them spiritual harmony, when one or both don’t yet know Him as Messiah. That workbook is available for purchase here.
