"Understanding Your Hebraic Heritage"

 

Are you complacent in your relationship with G-D to the point that you're just not sure anymore?

Do you feel the need for a deeper understanding of your faith and how all the Bible is intertwined?

  Are you a restless G-D fearer who knows there has to be more than what appears on the surface?

"There are 'Hidden Words' in the Bible fully
understood when you learn their Jewish Hebraic roots.  As Jews and G-D Fearers we teach you how to unlock these mysteries."

Yeshua Is The Fullness Of Torah

The Torah was given Moshe by G-d at Mt. Sinai.  But, Yeshua was more than a latter born Moshe. He is the Word who was in the Beginning, through whom the world was created. The commandments of the Torah are Yeshua's commandments, not an arbitrary set of rules or rituals. They are a revelation of the heart of HaShem. They are a reflection of Yeshua's heart. They cannot be understood to be HaShem's lesser commands. Yeshua's teachings do not permit such a view. Those who wish to be more like Him must follow the Torah's teachings because they are His very heart.

Our goal should be to follow a Torah lifestyle, having faith and a desire to connect with HaShem through the act of following. This was the life Yeshua lived and the life He desires His people to live. Every act of observance is an opportunity to connect to HaShem through Yeshua's renewing committment to us. He is the fullness of Torah. Our lives should be so full.

The richness of the Jewish tradition
is a valuable part of our heritage.

We embrace traditions derived from both Torah Shebikhtav (the Written Torah) and Torah Shebe'al Peh (the Oral Torah). We rejoice at the privilege of drinking from our own wells, the wells from which our fathers, and from which Yeshua and the Apostles also drank and were sustained. Beside these wells we meet with Yeshua today, and here, He speaks with us anew.

Because all people are created in the image of HaShem, how we treat them is a reflection of our respect and love for Him. Therefore, true piety cannot exist apart from human decency.

Yeshua did not speak against ritual and tradition but against the wrong attitudes of those who taught and practiced them with improper motives. When people treat people poorly, whether for religious reasons or non-religious reasons, the value of their religious practice becomes nullified.

Religious people easily become preoccupied
with words, presuming
to become the voice of HaShem to those around them.

But it is far more fulfilling to be the hands of HaShem in the world, as Yeshua and the prophets taught.  Yeshua stated "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve," and "He who wishes to be the greatest among you must become the servant of all."                                     
 
Congregation Baruch HaShem Messianic Synagogue  affirms the messiahship of Yeshua ben Yoseph.  We gather for Torah “Instruction”, Avodah “Worship”, and Gemilut Aasadim “Deeds of Lovingkindness”.  In this way, we are very much like congregations you would find in any Jewish community. And like any Synagogue we are a “Bet Knesset”, a place where we pray together, a “Bet Tefillah”, a place where we pray together, and a “Bet Midrash”, where we study our heritage and transmit it to the next generation.

Those who have visited or participated in the wider Jewish community find much that is familiar at Congregation Baruch HaShem— our liturgy, our ritual objects, and our festival observances.  Congregation Baruch HaShem provides a genuine Synagogue atmosphere for the messianic community and fertile learning ground for all G-d fearers.

As a messianic synagogue, we affirm our confidence that Yeshua is the Messiah promised in the Tenakh (Old Testament), and our acceptance of the Renewed Covenant Scriptures (New Testament) in addition to the Tenakh as HaShem's revelation to Israel and the nations.
