Messianic Jewish congregations in Massachusetts

Congregation Ruach Israel
Needham, MACongregation Ruach Israel is a Messianic Jewish synagogue in Needham, Massachusetts. It calls itself a community "where Jewish life and love for Messiah Yeshua go hand in hand." Its focus is Jewish families and singles who believe the historical Yeshua is the promised Messiah of the Jewish people. Its vision also reaches intermarried families in New England who want to raise their children within Jewish life. Shabbat morning services run Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and are also offered by Zoom. The liturgy follows familiar synagogue prayers, from Ma Tovu through the Shema and Amidah to Aleinu and Adon Olam. Within the Shema section, the congregation exalts Yeshua as God's agent of creation, revelation and redemption. Torah, Haftarah and Besorah are read in both Hebrew and English. Children gather under a raised tallit for the traditional blessings before going to Shabbat School. A dairy oneg follows the service. Afterward there are adult classes and healing prayer from the Tefillah Team. A Friday morning Shacharit service also meets. Rabbi Nathan Joiner serves as Senior Rabbi after eight years as Associate Rabbi. Rabbi Dr. Richard C. Nichol, Senior Rabbi for almost 40 years, now serves as Rabbi Emeritus. Through the year the community keeps the holy days, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot in the sukkah, a congregational Passover Seder, Shavuot and Tisha B'Av.UMJC
Sha'ar HaShamayim Messianic Congregation
Stoughton, MASha'ar Hashamayim Messianic Congregation gathers in the center of Stoughton, Massachusetts, on Boston's South Shore. Shabbat service is held Friday evenings at 7:30. Gatherings bring together Biblical teaching, music and worship, dancing, fellowship and shared nosh. Rabbi Henry Morse leads the community, which belongs to the Association of Messianic Congregations. The congregation exists so that Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua can worship, study and grow in faith together. It also reaches out to the Jewish community with a message of hope through Yeshua. Another aim is to teach the wider church "the Jewish nature of the Gospel." Scripture, in their understanding, includes both the Tanach and the Brit Chadashah. They affirm the deity of the Messiah and hold that salvation comes by grace through faith in Yeshua. God remains in covenant relationship with Israel, they believe, and will keep His promise of the land. In congregational life, they teach, there is no division between Jew and Gentile. The Biblical feasts are kept by the Karaite calendar, a conviction the congregation places on no one else. The fall festivals include Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur with a break-the-fast meal, Sukkot and Shimini Atzeret. An adult Bible study meets Tuesdays at 7 pm. Bible and Bagels meets on the first and third Saturday of each month at 11 am. Men's and women's groups meet on Saturdays, and the community runs homeless and prison ministries.MessianicAMC
