You’ll also find a link below to download the full annual Bible reading plan, so you can walk with us through the Scriptures all year long.
Our Beliefs
At Beth Israel Messianic Synagogue, we believe that the God of Israel has revealed Himself as “Echad”—One in a perfect unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We affirm the Scriptures, both the Tanach and the B’rit Hadasha (Old and New Testaments), as the inspired and authoritative Word of God that points us to Yeshua, the promised Messiah of Israel.
Yeshua came as the atoning sacrifice for sin, rose again in victory, and will return to redeem and restore His people. Through Him, both Jews and Gentiles are invited into a restored relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
We honor the ongoing calling of the Jewish people, recognizing that faith in Yeshua does not cancel Jewish identity but fulfills it. Gentile believers are “grafted in” to Israel’s olive tree of faith, becoming part of God’s covenant family (Romans 11). Together, we form one body, worshiping the Lord in unity and experiencing the indwelling presence and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, who leads, seals, and equips us for godly living and service.
As a Messianic Jewish community, we joyfully celebrate the appointed times and traditions given to Israel, embracing their fullness in Messiah Yeshua. Shabbat, Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot, and all the holy days find their ultimate meaning in Him, deepening our worship and discipleship.

Ministries and Programs for All Ages
Children, Youth, & Families
At Beth Israel, we believe that children and youth are a vital part of our mishpocha (family). Every Shabbat morning, children enjoy Shabbat School classes designed to teach the Bible, Hebrew, and Jewish traditions in ways that are engaging and formative. For older kids and teens, we offer youth group gatherings that build friendships, nurture faith, and encourage community life.
Families who desire Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation will find a supportive environment that helps children grow in both Jewish identity and Messianic faith as they take this important step in their spiritual journey.
We also welcome our youngest members! A toddler room and infant care are available during all Shabbat services, allowing parents to participate in worship while knowing their little ones are safe and cared for.
At Beth Israel, families of every stage are embraced, and children are encouraged to grow in their love for God, His Word, and their Jewish heritage. We are an inter-generational community.
Adult Programs & Community Life
Beth Israel Messianic Synagogue is a place where everyone can grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and experience the joy of serving together. Our primary time of fellowship is on Saturday mornings at our Shabbat service, where we worship through Hebrew prayers, study God’s Word, and share in vibrant music and teaching. Shabbat is not only a time to receive, but also a time to serve the Lord and one another as mishpocha (family).
After every Shabbat service, everyone is invited to join us for Oneg at the Beth Israel Shalom Center. Oneg means “delight,” and it truly is a delight to gather together over a delicious community lunch. This meal is provided free of charge, with both indoor restaurant-style seating and outdoor seating on the deck overlooking Baymeadows Lake—a beautiful setting for fellowship and conversation.
Our community also gathers for a biweekly online prayer meeting, lifting up one another’s needs as well as important events in Israel and around the world. This virtual prayer time is a powerful way to stay connected and support each other during the week.
Throughout the year, Beth Israel hosts special celebrations that bring our community closer together and deepen our joy in the Lord. These include Passover seders, High Holiday services, Hanukkah parties, Sukkot picnics, and other festive gatherings. Each event is an opportunity to worship, learn, and delight in God’s appointed times together.
At Beth Israel, adults of all ages are welcomed into a vibrant, multi-generational community where faith, fellowship, and joy go hand in hand.
