Messianic Jewish congregations in Alabama

Beit Israel
Bayou LaBatre, ALBeit Israel is a Messianic Jewish synagogue in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. It began in 2002 in Escatawpa, Mississippi, and moved to the Mobile area after Hurricane Katrina. In 2011 the congregation settled in its permanent location in Bayou La Batre. Rabbi Paul Collins has led Beit Israel since its inception, with his wife, Rebbetzin Sally. It is a member of the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues and is associated with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America. Jews and Gentiles worship together here. The community holds that Yeshua is the promised Mashiach of Israel, and that believers are transformed by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh. Both the Tanakh and the Brit Chadashah are central to its services and its common life. Beit Israel describes itself as dedicated to bringing the Message of Messiah to the Jewish people and to the Nations. Shabbat services begin Saturday at 11:00 and usually run between an hour and a half and two hours. Traditional Jewish liturgy in Hebrew and English sits beside modern Messianic worship, a full Torah service and the rabbi's message. Some worshippers join in Davidic dance during praise. Children stay with their families during the service, and a nursery is available with a parent present. Before the service, Rabbi Paul holds an "Ask the Rabbi" session. Afterward comes Oneg Shabbat, a covered-dish meal shared each week. A Bible study meets Tuesday evenings at 7:00.IAMCSMJAA
Beth Hallel
Birmingham, ALBeth Hallel Messianic Jewish Congregation gathers in Hoover, Alabama, in the Birmingham area. Its name is Hebrew for house of praise. Founded in 2007, it belongs to the International Association of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues and the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America. Erev Shabbat services are held Friday nights at 7:00 pm, and Shabbat morning services on Saturdays at 11:00 am. Twenty minutes of prayer come before each. Services are chanted in Hebrew and English. They include the shofar, prayers from the Second Temple era, song, and dancing with the Torah around the sanctuary. Rosh Chodesh is marked with a potluck meal. Classes for young children run during the service, with a nursery for newborns to age 3. Jews and Gentiles worship together here, and many married couples are one Jewish and one Gentile spouse. The congregation teaches that both worship together while retaining "their distinct identities." Gentiles may become members, and no conversion is required. Beth Hallel teaches from Genesis through Revelation and brings the good news of Yeshua "to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles." Rabbi David and Rebbetzin Leslye Schneier have led the congregation since November 8, 2013. They earlier led Gates of Zion Congregation in Odessa, Ukraine, from 1996 to 2007. David has served as the IAMCS representative for Europe since 2007.IAMCSMJAA
Huntsville Messianic Fellowship
Huntsville, ALHuntsville Messianic Fellowship describes itself as a Messianic Jewish congregation made up of Jews and non-Jews. They gather to worship the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the name of Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. Shabbat is celebrated with modern music and traditional Jewish liturgy. Readings come from both the Tanakh and the B'rit Chadashah, and the community keeps the Holy Appointed Times of the Bible. The congregation holds that Yeshua is the promised Mashiach of Israel and that the Son is God, existing eternally. Salvation, it teaches, has always been by faith, and works of law have never saved anyone. Jewish people who trust in Yeshua remain Jewish, in its understanding. Gentile believers are "grafted into" the Jewish olive tree of faith, becoming spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham. Jews and Gentiles worship the God of Israel together. The fellowship affirms the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel and sees the rebirth of the State of Israel as fulfilled prophecy. Out of respect for the holy names of God, members use HaShem and ADONAI in the traditional Jewish way. Scott Lawrence serves as Senior Congregational Leader. The community has a Hebrew instructor, youth ministers and a children's director.MessianicIAMCSMJAA

Incorporated in 1992, the congregation belongs to the International Association of Messianic Congregations & Synagogues. Jack Morgan serves as Congregational Leader and Torah Teacher, a role he took on in 2007. The community seeks to put the Messiah "back within His biblically Jewish context." It holds that being Jewish and believing in Yeshua are in harmony, with Torah observed from the heart. The congregation affirms the deity of Yeshua, His atoning death and resurrection, and salvation as a free gift for Jew and non-Jew. All believers, it teaches, should observe the Appointed Times of ADONAI even today. Services combine traditional Jewish liturgy with contemporary Messianic music, Israeli circle dance and the sound of the shofar. Part of the service is in Hebrew, and nearly all of it is repeated in English. Torah Teachers follow the weekly portion through the annual cycle. After the service come Kiddush and a kosher oneg, where each family brings a dish to share. A Bible Study Hour follows from 1:00 to 2:30 PM.IAMCSMJAA
