Dr. Dinah Dye
Dr. Dinah Dye was raised in a Conservative Jewish home in Ottawa Canada. At the same time she lived in a predominantly “Gentile” neighborhood where she was exposed to the world of the Christian faith. These experiences influenced her to search for truth which she decided would be based on 3 things: easy to understand, for everyone, and based on love. She met the truth in Yeshua the Messiah in the late ’70s. She immediately began to teach the Hebrew roots of the faith. Today her passion is to help believers learn to study and research the Hebrew roots of Christianity for themselves and to begin to incorporate the prayer services into their personal lives.
