Hebrew church?
I'm interested in the Hebrew religion. I would like to attend a Hebrew church to learn more about it and ask questions and hopefully be baptized. But I live in a small community. What would be the closest church to Hebrew? (I.e Nazarene, Baptist....?)
Thanks in advance :)
Ok, my question seemed to have upset some people..... So lets reword it. If someone wishes to learn more about Hebrew beliefs where should one go? Thanks in advance for your understanding and holding off on the rude remarks. Wow

Normative usage (outside of some neo-Nazi cults) is that the word "Hebrews" is synonymous with "Jews"
So -- presuming you are asking about Jews --
The word "church" has strong Christian connotations.
The normal English term for a Jewish house of gathering is Synagogue.
None of the Christian denominations are in any manner "close" to anything Jewish.
The separation came almost two thousand years ago, and the past two millenia were often a very tense relationship.
In fact, while Catholic scholars study Judaism, the Protestant preachers seem to just make stuff up -- much of it completely outlandish.
If you want to study Judaism and Jewish culture you should find some Jewish communal organization.
The best and most aproachable would be a Jewish college student organization -- they generaly have scholars who are used to answering questions from very diverse people and points of view.
Another good option, if you can find it, would be a Jewish Community House, which may have some cultural education classes.
If neither of these are available, then you can find a local synagogue.
Don't just go during services -- you wont understand a thing.
Call and make an appointment with the rabbi and start by taking with him.
This is an organization that is dedicated to teaching about Judaism to Jews who were raised outside of Jewish culture. It should be a good start for you as well.

JEWISH answer: there are no Hebrew beliefs, there are Jewish beliefs and Christian beliefs - they are separate and incompatible. Are you wanting to learn more about Christianity or Judaism?
Ignore the ignorant bird - "messianics" are NOT connected to Judaism. They pervert both religions.

Messianic Judaism - which is nothing more that Christianity with observance of Jewish holy days to one degree or another
