Bet Shalom is a Messianic congregation in Fresno, California, where Jewish and Gentile believers worship Yeshua together. It gathers every Shabbat at 11:00 AM. The morning brings worship in Hebrew and English, the shofar, Messianic dance, and a Torah reading that follows the traditional Jewish cycle. A Messianic Lifestyle Class meets at 9:00 AM beforehand. Oneg follows at 1:00 PM with a shared meal, kept free of pork and shellfish. Havdalah and Seudat Ha'Adon, the Lord's Supper, are each observed monthly.
The congregation holds that Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel and is God, and that salvation comes by grace through faith. Jewish believers in Yeshua, it teaches, remain Jewish. Gentile believers are understood as "grafted into" the Jewish olive tree of faith, becoming spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham. Bet Shalom observes the biblical feasts, from Passover to Sukkot, and affirms the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel. Its mission includes proclaiming the good news "to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile."
Rabbi Amnon Shor leads the congregation with Rebbetzin Lynette Shor. Born in Israel to an Orthodox Jewish family, he fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War while serving in the Israeli Army. Each Shabbat he teaches the Scriptures from a Hebrew and Jewish perspective. Beginner Messianic dance classes meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Feast days bring special services and meals throughout the year.
