Shuvah Yisrael

Shuvah Yisrael is a Messianic Jewish congregation in Irvine, California, gathering every Saturday morning at 10:00. Its name means "Return, O Israel," taken from Hosea 14:1. That call to turn back to God shapes the congregation's focus, which seeks to bring the Jewish people back into relationship with Him. Services are also streamed online.

The community sees itself as a Messianic Jewish family. Its members commit to one another's growth while sharing the message of Yeshua with the Jewish people. It holds that Yeshua of Nazareth is the promised Messiah of Israel, fully God and fully human. Forgiveness of sin comes through faith in Him, not through human effort or merit. Jewish and Gentile believers are united as equal members of one body of Messiah. The congregation affirms that God's promises to the Jewish people in the covenants of the Tenach remain in effect. It also believes that Israel as a nation will one day recognize Yeshua as Messiah.

Children attend Shabbat School, which teaches from the Tenakh and B'rit Chadasha through Bible study, biblical holidays and age-appropriate activities. Lessons trace the gospel from creation through the Patriarchs, the feasts and the prophets to Yeshua. The congregation also has chavurahs. A worship team of musicians and vocalists leads praise together with a cantor.
