THE SOCIETY FOR DISTRIBUTING HEBREW SCRIPTURES |

Click here for Southern California Representatives. The Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, came to us by the Jewish people. The world, therefore, is indebted to the Jews because wherever these Scriptures have come, they brought the blessings of light, joy, and peace. Out of gratitude to the Jewish people for their gift of the Bible to us, and in partial repayment of our debt, we desire to make the Holy Scriptures available to every Jewish home. After many centuries of anti-Semitism, whatever man says is suspect and inadequate. Therefore, we believe the only way we can approach our Jewish friends is by giving them what has been given to us - The Word of God. In consequence, this Society was founded in 1940 with the aim of providing Jewish people with a FREE copy of the Holy Scriptures in bilingual form i.e. in Hebrew and the reader’s daily tongue. Since that time, over one million copies have been given to Jewish people all over the world. At first, the New Testament was produced in Hebrew and English. However, as these Testaments were received by Jewish people, requests came for other languages and the T’Nach (Old Testament). In response to this demand, the Society now publishes the T’Nach in Hebrew alone and in Hebrew-English. The New Testament is also published in eleven bilingual formats. Since the beginning of the work, the Holy Scriptures have gone from our offices to more than 100 countries where Jewish people live. Every day requests are received either from or for Jewish people, and it is our pleasure to respond by sending them the Word of God. We believe the Word of God is indeed a “lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.” On this account, we have no hesitation in offering it to Jewish people. The sole ministry of this Society is to print and publish the Word of God; nothing more can be done, and everything less than this is a waste of time and energy. We are in existence by the grace of God to provide the bilingual Holy Scriptures to every Jewish home throughout the world and without cost to the recipient. The work is prayerfully supported by people who have a sincere and genuine love for Israel and the Jewish people. We call upon believers of the Lord Jesus Christ everywhere, who also love His ancient and beloved people, to consider His work amongst them through the free distribution of His Word. “I have given them Thy Word.” “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth.” (John 17:14, 17) Every two months the Society publishes a magazine called the “Lamp and Light.” In each issue a report is given on the latest news of the work. There are two Bible studies, and at least two pages are taken up with letters we receive from Jewish people or Christians seeking the Society’s Scripture. At the beginning of the year, a list of Jewish festivals is included, and as conferences take place, reports are included. We also regularly publish personal accounts of Jewish people who have become believers upon the Lord Jesus Christ. If you wish to receive it, please contact our Head Office.
