Shabbat day outline
As a Kehilla (community / congregation) we gather together every Shabbat morning and welcome all those who wish to join us for Shacharit and Torah Service, followed by a light fellowship lunch and then our Torah study.
Our Torah Service
Our Torah service follows the yearly reading cycle based on the calendar that mainstream Judaism uses. We read and study the Torah Parashah that millions of others (both Jew and Grafted-In Gentile) study every week. This is an opportunity to learn G-d’s Word through teaching and respectful discussion.
Shabbat Day Fellowship
Shacharit and Torah Service
Shacharit (Morning Prayers) and Torah Service
This is a liturgical prayer service based on the first (morning) prayer of the three daily prayers of Judaism, which typically line up with the Temple services (if it were still standing). The Morning Prayers are followed by the Torah Service, which includes reading from the Torah, the Haftarah (the Prophets) and the Brit Chasdashah (the Renewed Testament).Light Meal
Kiddusha Raba and Breaking of Bread
We follow the tradition that Yeshua also followed when He said the Bracha (Blessing) over the bread before eating. The light fellowship meal starts with Kiddusha Raba, which means “the great sanctification” to set this day and meal apart for HaShem. (Due to current Covid restrictions, participants are asked to please bring their own light meal).
Torah Study
We follow the annual Torah reading cycle and study the Parashah (Torah Portion) for that week.
Fellowship
We finish off the day with fellowship over afternoon tea and coffee.
Our Approach
Our service times are specifically tailored for those who have, or are, embracing the walk of Messianic Judaism, and wish to join us on this exciting journey, and visitors are always welcome. We are establishing a unique environment with a mix of Hebrew and English that will allow everyone to participate and draw closer to G-d individually and as well as a community.
