Messianic Jewish congregations in Ohio

Beth Messiah Congregation
Loveland, OHBeth Messiah is a Messianic Jewish congregation in Loveland, Ohio, in the Greater Cincinnati area. It also goes by Beth Messiah Synagogue. Every Saturday at 11:00 AM, the community gathers for its weekly Torah Service. The congregation holds that Yeshua is the promised Jewish Messiah. His death provides a permanent kipporah, or atonement, for sin, and his coming will bring peace to the earth. Jews here embrace and strengthen their Jewish identity and heritage as believers in Yeshua. Non-Jews embrace Israel, prioritize a Jewish expression of their faith, and serve alongside Jewish believers. Together, Beth Messiah teaches, they have been made echad (one) in Messiah. Its mission rests on a lifestyle of faith called Biblical Judaism. The community seeks to reveal Yeshua first to the people of Israel and to stand with Israel against hatred. Services blend traditional Jewish liturgy with what the congregation calls "Davidic Worship." Israeli dancing, clapping and raised hands are part of a typical service. Jewish holidays and festivals are celebrated, and families raise their children in a Messianic Jewish lifestyle. Rabbi Michael Wolf leads Beth Messiah. Raised in a traditional Jewish home, he came to faith in Messiah in his twenties. He is also an author and filmmaker. The congregation is a member of the International Alliance of the Messianic Congregations and Synagogues, connected with the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America.IAMCSMJAA

Tikvat Yisrael
Chesterland, OHTikvat Yisrael Messianic Synagogue gathers in Chesterland, Ohio, every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. for Shabbat worship, in person and by livestream. Its roots go back to 1975, when a small group of Messianic Jews met weekly in home groups in Cleveland. The congregation was incorporated in Ohio on April 4, 1978. Rabbi Eric David Lakatos leads the community. He came as a candidate in early 2008. Tikvat Yisrael describes itself as a community of Jewish and Gentile believers committed to faith in Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. It teaches that Jewish people who believe in Yeshua remain Jewish and are called to keep Shabbat as a covenant sign. Gentile believers are understood as grafted into the olive tree. They join as full members without converting, and may keep Jewish customs and holidays without being required to. The congregation holds that salvation has always been by faith, and it affirms the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel. It categorically rejects Hebrew Roots, Two-House and Ephraimite theology. Services run about an hour and a half. They include Messianic worship music, Davidic dance, an abbreviated Torah service and a 30-minute shiur from the rabbi. Children may join the Torah procession. A nursery serves ages 0 to 4, and Shabbat School meets during the shiur. Every other week, teens ages 13 to 18 gather for an afternoon Youth Shabbaton. Challah and coffee follow the service, and beginner's classes are offered in 10-week sessions.IAMCSMJAA
