What shapes our worship
תּוֹרָה
Torah
We worship according to the instructions given in Torah.
יֵשׁוּעַ
Yeshua
We hold that Yeshua is the promised Messiah.
שַׁבָּת
Shabbat
We gather each Shabbat morning for worship and fellowship, and afterwards we share a meal together, a time called עֹנֶג Oneg.
Who we are
We began in 2022 with four families who wanted to worship according to the instructions given in תּוֹרָה Torah and through the life and teaching of יֵשׁוּעַ Yeshua.
We use liturgy from a Jewish סִדּוּר Siddur while holding that Yeshua is the promised Messiah. We gather each שַׁבָּת Shabbat morning for worship and fellowship, and afterwards we share a meal together, a time called עֹנֶג Oneg.
One of the highlights of our congregation is our own kosher Torah scroll, written by hand roughly two centuries ago and carried here from a synagogue in Kiev.
Our Torah scroll
Written by hand, two centuries ago
It is the work of a skilled scribe, and it carries the legacy of Rabbi Jay's own family. The ark that houses it was built by two members of this congregation.
The Torah Pathway
נֵר־לְרַגְלִי דְבָרֶךָ וְאוֹר לִנְתִיבָתִי
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
A path for anyone curious about Torah and unsure where to begin. Walk it at your own pace.
