Bio of Messianic Rabbi Ed and Rebbetsen Alberta Rothman

In April of 1971 Rabbi Ed heard the L-RD speak to him audibly at a Kathryn Kuhlman service and received Jesus as Savior. Jesus appeared to Alberta as she was trying to go to sleep one night and eventually she accepted Him while riding a bus in December of 1972.

In 1976, G-d asked Rabbi Ed to assist in beginning the 1st Messianic Congregation in the Twin Cities. It was during that time that he got to know Alberta, and they were married November 26, 1977.

In 1982 G-d spoke to Rabbi Ed and Alberta to begin the Seed of Abraham Messianic Congregation. As the Rebbetsen, Alberta has been by his side assisting every step of the way.

In 1997, Rabbi Ed helped to put on the 1st One New Man citywide celebration of Shavuot (Pentecost) since the Book of Acts and he assisted in starting the biblical feast-honoring ministry called Feasts of the L-RD.

Rabbi Ed has traveled to/and ministered in Israel, Argentina, Russia and the Ukraine. Rebbetsen Alberta has traveled to/and ministered in London, England, Israel & Argentina.

Rabbi Ed has served on the boards of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations & Synagogues, The Minnesota Prophetic Conference, and Good News for Israel.

He currently is serving on the boards of Feasts of the L-RD, Heart of the Cities, International Ministerial Fellowship, and Midwest Hebrew Ministries.

Rabbi Ed & Rebbetsen Alberta have two sons, Shane Benjamin & Justin Josiah. They reside in St. Louis Park.

Their life message has been to encourage all New Covenant believers to understand their Olive Tree Connection (the Jewish roots of their faith in Jesus the Messiah). They believe that should inevitably lead the Church to pray for, share their faith with, and to show G-d’s love to the Jewish people and the nation of Israel (Romans 1:16 & chapters 9-11).
