Beth Messiah Messianic Synagogue

At Beth Messiah, we as Messianic Jews believe Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew) is the Messiah, live a Jewish lifestyle, raise our children to be Jewish, and worship the G-d of Israel in Jewish manner. Messianic Synagogues are the heart of the Messianic Movement. Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people from all walks of life who believe that Yeshua... is the promised Messiah and the Savior for Israel and the world.

Today there are more than 300,000 Jewish believers in Yeshua in the U.S. alone. Messianic Synagogues are found all over the world including over 40 in Israel alone.
