About us

We are dedicated to more engaged Torah observance, to the love of Israel, the homeland of the Israelites and we try to develop and maintain a spiritually vibrant and mutually supportive community.

Our History

Formerly a Christian congregation, we decided to embrace judaism in 1998 after reading the bBible carefully and discovering the many inconsistencies in the New Testament and total contradiction with the Old Testament.

Our vision

We wish to :
- Build a supportive and inclusive community, concerned and caring for one another, where people enjoy the celebration of Jewish life, as well as they deepen their spiritual and intellectual growth through learning, practice and prayer, and work for the continuity of the Jewish people.
- Follow Judaism’s passionate concern for Tikkun Olam, making a better world for all human beings.
- Share an unconditional love for Israel, the homeland of the Jews through praying for it and supporting it.

Torah and Mitzvot

We try to build an environment where everyone can find a wide-range of Torah study, educational and cultural opportunities, an environment that encourages the observance of mitzvot (commandments), that helps anyone improve himself and fulfill his mission.

Prayer and services

We strive for prayer services that are engaging, inspirational, joyful, spiritual and accessible for all.

Education

We educate and celebrate our children so they continue the cultural, spiritual and ethical values of our People.

Social action

We provide many opportunities and resources for social action. We model and create opportunities for doing acts of loving kindness.

Youth

Instilling a solid foundation of Torah connection in our young people, and empowering them to be a positive force in the world.

Interfaith

Tikkun Olam (repairing the world)

We encourage and support our members to serve worthwhile causes within our congregation, our local community, and the wider society and to always try to grow in their ability to care for our environment and to assist the people in it.

Inclusion

Beth Yeshourun offers a place for all Israelites - no labels and no affiliations - to develop a sense of community, to enhance the experience of learning and practicing Torah. We embrace all families and individuals, regardless of their level of religious knowledge, background, and beliefs, by offering formal and informal educational opportunities for learning and prayer.
