About Yarden L.
Yarden is a Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus) who desires to share Messiah’s transformative power with the Jewish people and equip the Church to do likewise.
Yarden lived the life of a child prodigy growing up, performing for world leaders and with major orchestras, playing on radio and TV, and touring throughout prestigious concert halls in Europe and the US. Building on his musical training and performance career, he went on to earn a doctorate and entered an academic career.
Despite professional successes, none provided the sense of fulfillment Yarden was seeking. And over the course of his early adulthood, mental health battles took over every area of his life. While doing doctoral research, Yarden, then an atheist, said a prayer that started a transformation of his mind and emotions, freeing him from years of anxiety and depression, and sending him on a journey that soon culminated in recognizing Yeshua (Jesus) as his Lord and Savior.
Currently completing his Master of Divinity at Talbot School of Theology’s Feinberg Center, Yarden serves with Chosen People Ministries, where he engages in outreach to the Jewish people of New York, the most unreached people group in North America.
