I love going to Beth Messiah and have been for 8+ years. It is a very warm and inviting congregation!
The adult learning branch, Messianic Studies Institute, is an INVALUABLE RESOURCE. I've studied biblical Greek, Hebrew, hermeneutics (biblical interpretation), the Jewish essence of the faith and much more.
I'm deeply indebted to these wonderful people who have taught me about the Master of the Universe. Rabbi Howard Silverman is both very funny and real, as well as an amazing intellectual. The congregation itself is multi-ethnic and intergenerational but worship in a Jewish context. There are readings in Hebrew during the service (just like in traditional synagogues) from the Torah and other traditional Jewish liturgy such as the Amidah and the Shema.
I'm grateful to be welcomed as a gentile and experience Jewish worship space. At Beth Messiah they teach how to read the Bible from left to right, getting the richest understanding of the text I've ever come across. Come and see for yourself!
