Beth Messiah

Beth Messiah Synagogue of Cincinnati is a part of a spontaneous growing worldwide movement known as Messianic Judaism. Messianic Jews believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Jewish Messiah whose death fulfills Hebrew scripture in providing a permanent kipporah (atonement) for sin, and whose coming at the end of days (see Isaiah 2, Micah 4) will end a period of great tribulation and bring peace to the earth. Messianic Jews believe that maintaining a strongly Jewish lifestyle is an important aspect of living out their faith. Beth Messiah Synagogue enables them to fulfill this calling in their lives.

At Beth Messiah, Jews and Gentiles alike can worship the God of Israel in a Jewish environment, celebrating the Jewish holidays and festivals in a meaningful way and raising their children in a Messianic Jewish lifestyle. A typical service at Beth Messiah includes many avenues through which individuals can worship God, expressing their love with all their heart, soul, and strength. These avenues include traditional Jewish liturgy and also what we call "Davidic Worship". Messianic songs are joy-filled and a typical service might include Israeli dancing and wholehearted praise expressions such as clapping and raising of hands, etc. (See Psalm 63:4) Beth Messiah encourages whole family involvement. There is teaching for the children, a dance workshop, prayer meeting etc.

Beth Messiah is a member of the International Alliance of the Messianic Congregations and Synagogues, a congregational organization connected with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America.
