It is our calling to be a bridge between Jew and Gentile, and to be a witness to the Jew first and equally to the Gentile (Goyim/Nations/Non-Jews). We must teach the relevance of the Tanakh, or Hebrew Scriptures (“Old Testament”) and the B’rit Chadashah (New Testament) as one continuous revelation. Our desire is to teach the rich Hebraic roots of our faith, and the Good News of Yeshua, the Messiah. He came to gather the lost sheep of Israel, and the nations of the world to know the God of Israel through His finished work as our Mediator. Our goal is to present Him in truth that we may all come to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior, and to provide an environment where Jewish people can remain Jewish and still seek the Messiah. (1 Timothy 2:1-5, Romans 1:16-17; 1 Cor. 7:17-20; 10:32-33)

Simchat Yeshua is a congregation of Jews and Non-Jews, gathering to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and His Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), in a mix of traditional and modern worship forms. The congregation name is Hebrew, and means 'Joy of Salvation,' which is based on Isaiah 12.3, and characterizes our reaction upon finding our Messiah.

Simchat Yisrael is a Messianic Jewish synagogue founded to assist Jewish individuals, families, and intermarried couples in worshipping the G-d of Israel and His Messiah Yeshua as Jews. We teach the history, language, culture, and traditions of our Jewish people to the congregants of Simchat Yisrael, and assist them and their families in leading Jewish lives centered in the worship of the G-d of Israel and His Messiah Yeshua.

We at Simhat Yeshua believe that :

• Yeshua (Jesus) is the long-awaited Jewish Messiah.
• There is no conflict between the Torah/Tenakh and The New Testament.
• There is a valid Jewish expressing of faith in Yeshua. Because Israel has an ongoing role in the plan of God, Jewish people must maintain a Jewish Identity, especially in light of Yeshua's Messiahship.

We believe in One God:
Yeshua (Jesus Christ) said in John 10:30: "I and My Father are one".

Yeshua (Jesus Christ)

We believe that Yeshua is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Eternal One in Whom all the fullness of the God-head dwells in bodily form. He is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the uniquely begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth. (John 1: 1-14; Colossians 2:9)
