About Our Service Structure

For millennia, the map of the Jewish service has been modeled on entering ever more deeply into The Jerusalem Temple. Services take us in progressing stages, leaving behind what is hol (commonplace) and moving into what is kadosh (holy). The Book of Acts 21:18-24 makes clear from a New Testament perspective, Jewish Two-Testament congregations and individuals are to hold their weekly worship on The Shabbat, and to embrace what is Jewish in custom and ethnic identity, within the bounds of Scriptural soundness (Isaiah 8:20).

In our services, we hope to give to God the worship He rightly deserves as our Creator and Lord (Exodus 6:13 & Luke 4:8), and also to receive from God truth and spiritual contact with Him that transforms our lives into greater rightful alignment and understanding. (James 1:21) To be rightly God-following, truth-governed human beings is our highest ambition. At the heart of our service, rooted in Jewish historic tradition and filled with Two-Testament content, is hope of fulfilling “the Shema” שמע – to “hear and heed” God, however God chooses to “speak.” We seek to experience God’s “Shechinah” (Tangible Presence) as Psalm 22:3 holds forth is made possible by worship. John 17:3 sums these aims best, and our bedrock reason for our faith: “This is eternal life: to know You, The One True God, and Yeshua, the Messiah whom You have sent.”

We hope you will come and join us to experience this life-giving balance in person or via our broadcast.

Who knows? Maybe this synagogue is the spiritual home you have been praying for. So - L’hitra’ot – “until we see you.”
