B’rit Hadasha

B'rit Hadasha Messianic Jewish Synagogue gathers in Memphis, Tennessee, where Jewish and non-Jewish followers of Yeshua worship together. The name is Hebrew for "New Covenant." Shabbat morning service begins at 10:30 on Saturdays and is also streamed live. At 9:00, a group studies the weekly parashah, with a Zoom option, while a prayer team meets.

The congregation holds that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel and the whole earth, and it affirms his deity. Its Scriptures are the Tanakh together with the Apostolic Writings. All believers in Yeshua, it teaches, are "partakers of the spiritual inheritance of Israel." It believes Israel is chosen by God, and it understands the return of the Jewish people to the land as fulfillment of prophecy. The community seeks to keep the Sabbath and the Feasts and to embrace a Jewish life and identity "rooted in Torah, expressed in tradition." It also trains churches in the Jewish roots of the faith.

Children age 4 to 11 attend Shabbat School after the worship and Torah service, and nursery care covers those 4 and under. A community oneg follows the service once a month, normally on the second Shabbat. The calendar also includes Erev Rosh Chodesh services, a monthly Kaddish, Zichron Mashiach, game nights and a Sunday afternoon women's Bible study.
