Rabbi Ted Simon is a Jewish man who loves Jesus. Rabbi Simon is the co-host of the nationally syndicated radio program Messianic Minutes. He has traveled nationally and internationally bringing encouraging messages of hope in the Jewish Messiah and teaching the Christian Church about its Jewish roots. He has spoken at Promise Keepers and in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Mexico, and he often speaks on the prophetic role of Israel and the Church in the Last Days.

Rabbi Simon has served as a congregational teacher, deacon, and elder. In 1989 he joined Asher Intrater as an assistant pastor, and in 1992 assumed the full-time senior leadership of El Shaddai Congregation, when Asher was commissioned as an emissary to Israel. Rabbi Simon is also a past president of the Frederick Evangelical Ministers Fellowship.

Raised in a traditional Jewish home, Ted completed New York State Regents in Hebrew. He graduated from Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in Manhattan, and Oberlin College in Ohio. After attending Messiah Biblical Institute, Ted was granted Smicha (ordination) through Tikkun Ministries.

Rabbi Simon is married to Diane, an artist and pioneer in the use of sacred dance in worship and evangelism. They have four children living with them in Myersville Maryland.

Rabbi Simon's dynamic ministry is based around one fundamental concept:

The goals of this ministry include:

• To effectively bring the prophetic message of Israel and the Church to the Evangelical Community.
• To gather prayer support for Jewish Believers and Evangelism in Israel.
• To demonstrate (with Ramzi Hishmeh from Ramallah) that Peace is possible for Jews and Arabs, not through a road map, accords, a piece of paper, or partitioning, but through a Person -- Yeshuah the Messiah.
• To use the media, TV, radio, and print to raise awareness of vast numbers of people.
• To encourage Believers in Israel through hands-on ministry and prayer. Rabbi and Mrs. Simon bring encouragement and comfort to those on the front lines in Israel.
• To distribute money and resources. To raise very substantial amounts of money to give directly to needy Believers in the Land.
