They have an active forum and it looks like they have a book by Craig Winn called Yada YHWH: A Conversation with God.
It seems like they are Messianic, referring to the Messiah as "Yeshua" at times. But they seem to have mixed up their terms for Yeshua. I would give you their website, but I know that you discourage linking to unverified websites.
May I please ask if there are other significant, decent Messianic forums like this one (Ahavat Elohim) that come to your mind?

Other forums- the ones I've seen were more Hebrew Roots than Messianic. One really active one is a sub-forum on a Christian forum. But they had all kinds of people posting, including one EO guy. Every thread was so disjointed with everyone giving their competing views. Then every once in a while the dispensational Christians from some of the other sub-forums would all come at once and take over. The moderator was a bit vindictive as well. Not all forums, in fact almost all forums are not as well moderated as this one!  I looked all over the net before finding this forum. And in spite of the fact an old moderator had left and not told anyone this was by far the bet forum I've seen. (There was another moderator just before me who did a credible job as well.) A lot of good info in the archives even back then. We had a few wierdos come on and caused some trouble. But when I was made moderator I cleaned up a lot of that. We're ok with people like you who are honest about who you are and who follow the rules. Sadly, everyone isn't like that. But that's ok, 'cause I can make the hard calls when I have to. I had to kick one friend off once, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if they didn't straighten up their act. You also have to be careful with Messianic forums, blogs, etc. Not all are true Messianics. A lot of strange groups have tried to fly our flag and lure people in. And a lot of strange doctrines and ideas. But to answer your question, no. No forums anywhere come close to this one unless you are looking for a large volume and a lot of posters. Then we come in close to last for that. Qualiy over quantity is what we seek (though a little more quantity wouldn't hurt). 
Yada- not sure if it is the same group, but I attended a Yada conference near here once, before I became Messianic. They sponsored some interesting people, but one stood out. He was a twin born in a Nazi concentration camp and he and his brother ere experimented on. He was the "control," which is why he survived. After liberation the Russians took him east, and he was treated worse by them than by the Nazis. He talked on forgiveness, and it made an impression. No way you could argue with someone like that about forgiveness! But like the term "Messianic," there are a lot of people and groups calling themselves "Yada" these days. So be careful. Be like the Beeans and check everything against scripture, especially against  . Dan C |

Dan, I think that you do a good job yourself keeping this forum active and you are very attentive and thoughtful. Was the Yada conference Messianic? I have trouble understanding what kind of group "Yada" is.

Thanks for the compliment. I try.
Like I said, there are a lot of groups that now use the name "Yada." You'll have to judge them on a case-by-case basis.
I'm not sure what that particular group was, but I don't think they were Messianic. Definitely Jewish though, and if Messianic they were Jewish by birth Messianics. Back then I was still looking. I was seeing problems in Christian doctrines, but still didn't know about MJ. So I was not even trying to figure their affiliation. They did have a very good conference though.
