Yarden Levine is a Jewish follower of Jesus who desires to share Messiah’s transformative power with the Jewish people and equip the Church to do likewise.

A classically trained violinist and composer, Yarden grew up practicing music many hours each day, going on to win numerous competitions, perform for radio and TV broadcasts, solo with major orchestras at halls throughout Europe and America, and perform for a President and First Lady. Building on his conservatory training and performance career, he went on to earn a doctorate, researching the history of musical listening practices and authoring a book-length study on the topic.

Despite these and other professional successes, none provided the sense of fulfillment Yarden was seeking. Over the course of his early adulthood, mental health battles gradually took over every area of his life. While doing doctoral research in Oxford, Yarden, then an atheist, said a prayer on a whim that began transforming his mind and emotions, freeing him from years of anxiety and depression, and sending him on a journey that soon culminated in recognizing Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Currently completing his Master of Divinity at the Feinberg Center, Yarden serves with Chosen People Ministries’ Brooklyn branch, where he lead worship and makes disciples of Jesus among the Jewish community.
