(Re)Introducing Krystal Hustead, Assistant Director

Shalom, friend!

For many years, I have carried a passion for the Jewish roots of our Christian faith and the reconciliation of the Church with the Jewish people. Stepping into this role is not just a job; it is an opportunity to steward that passion into action.

As a pastor in the Anglican church, I have seen firsthand how understanding the context of Scripture transforms lives. I am passionate about bridging the gap between the Church and its Hebraic heritage. I believe that when Christians understand the Jewish context of Yeshua (Jesus), their faith is deepened and their witness is emboldened.

I look forward to working alongside the Rev. Cariño Casas, our Executive Director, and the entire team to strengthen our educational resources, support our colleagues at CMJ Israel, and proclaim the Gospel.

I am eager to meet you, pray with you, and partner with you in this vital work.

I believe that some of the best conversations happen over a good book. As your new Assistant Director, I am thrilled to invite you to join our very first CMJ USA Book Club!

We’re kicking things off this February by diving into Bari Weiss’s timely and essential book, How to Fight Antisemitism.

Let’s spend the month reading, reflecting, and preparing for a meaningful dialogue. We will gather virtually to share our thoughts, questions, and takeaways on Thursday, March 5. I can’t wait to learn alongside you!

Shalom,

Rev. Krystal Hustead

Assistant Director
