City of David Messianic Synagogue

Messianic Jewish congregation · Thornhill, Ontario, Canada

About

City of David Messianic Synagogue gathers in Thornhill, in the Greater Toronto Area, for Shabbat service on Saturdays at 11:00am. Jewish and non-Jewish believers worship together and describe themselves as "dedicated to following Yeshua and living a Jewish lifestyle." Each week's service is recorded and posted to YouTube that afternoon, usually by 4:00pm.

Rabbi Jeff Forman and his wife Janet founded the synagogue in 1995. Before that, he served about six years as Assistant Messianic Rabbi of Congregation Beth Yeshua in Philadelphia. The family moved to Canada in September 1995 to begin the work. City of David is a member synagogue of the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues, which ordained Rabbi Jeff.

The congregation holds that Yeshua is the promised Jewish Messiah of Israel. It teaches that the foundation of Messianic Judaism is the person of Messiah, rather than the Oral Law of the rabbis. Thirteen Articles of Faith set out its doctrine, including water immersion (tavilah). Jewish and Gentile believers, in its understanding, are together the "seed of Abraham" by faith. Guided by the phrase L'dor V'dor, it offers activities for children, youth and young adults. A series of short Jewish Life videos explores the feasts, history and practice from a Messianic Jewish perspective.
