Beth Yeshua is organized as a Messianic Synagogue reflecting the Jewish character of Yeshua (Jesus) and his first generation followers, exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes.
We are not a "Sacred Name Only" or a "Lunar Sabbath" Congregation. We are also not a "Two House" congregation.
We are unashamedly and unapologetically a "Torah Pursuant " Messianic Congregation believing that Yeshua (Jesus) did NOT abolish the Torah ("Law") and neither did His original disciples.
We also believe that the Torah is the standard of holiness to BOTH the Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Him (Romans 7:12)! This means that though we do NOT obtain our righteousness from the Torah, the Torah DOES show us how to walk a sanctified (holy) and spiritual (Romans 7:14) walk, empowered by the Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) as did Yeshua.
Please see our Statement of Faith.
We have had, on occasion, those who come into our Congregation with the intent to be contentious or attempt to cause division by proselytizing our congregants. Our desire in stating the above is NOT to turn people away at the door simply because they may disagree with us on these points.
No doubt, there are points of belief and practice that we may disagree with each other over, yet in probably well over 90% of our doctrine and practice we can still find fellowship together as brethren.
We welcome all who would join with us to worship the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and put aside their personal preferences and differences as we join together in the commonality of our mutual faith in Him.
We are affiliated with the United Messianic Jewish Assembly (UMJA)
Please Note: The views held below may not reflect those of the entire membership of Beth Yeshua Messianic Congregation, but are reflective of those held by Rabbi Booker. I am a "sheepdog."
There is only one way to live by the declaration "Never Again": gun-hating Jews must repent of their naive foolishness. We must encourage all Righteous Americans, Jew and Gentile alike, religious or not, to exercise their right to firearms ownership. And we must somberly embrace the resolve to use those arms in righteous defense should that horrific day ever come, G-d forbid.
- Rabbi Dovid Bendory, Rabbinic Director, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
Self defense is a Biblical principle found in the Torah and Jewish thought: Under Jewish Law there is an absolute obligation for a private citizen to assist another in trouble: "You shall not stand by [the shedding of] your fellow's blood. I am the Lord (Leviticus 19:16)" and as Rashi comments, quoting the legal texts of the Talmud "You shall not stand by [the shedding of] your fellow's blood. [I.e., do not stand by,] watching your fellow's death, when you are able to save him; for example, if he is drowning in the river or if a wild beast or robbers come upon him. - Torath Kohanim 19:41; Sanh. 73a]"
Being prepared to defend oneself and others is not contrary to Scripture or to Jewish thought. Sadly, there are bad people out there that like to hurt others. I wish that I could say we live in a perfect world and didn't have to defend ourselves or our loved ones.
But, and this cannot be overemphasized, if you DO carry a firearm, you should be well trained to use it properly. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is a premier firearms and self-defense training institution.

The United States Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Orders that violate the Constitution are "UnConstitutional" and are thus "Unlawful Orders" that MUST BE DISOBEYED, even if they come from Constitutionally established offices, such as the Presidency of the United States.
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a "state of emergency" on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to "keep the peace" or to "maintain control."
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
In Addition, we have added a NEW page for you to prepare for hard times.
