Congregation Beth Yeshua Competitors

The Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) is the largest association of Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua (Jesus) in the world. Established in 1915, the ministry of the MJAA four-fold: * to promote a clear and visible testimony to the fact there is a large and growing movement of Jewish people who have come to believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Jewish Messiah and Savior of the world * to bring together Jewish and Gentile people of like faith and mind, with a shared vision for Jewish revival * to provide humanitarian aid and support to Jewish people in Israel, Ethiopia and around the world * to introduce Jewish people to their Messiah

First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ) is a Messianic Jewish educational ministry dedicated to proclaiming the Torah and its way of life, fully centered on Messiah, to today’s people of God. A non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization with offices in North America and Israel, FFOZ has both Jewish and Gentile staff and contributors. We are on a mission to restore the original faith and practice of the apostles and first followers of Yeshua of Nazareth. We rejoice in our rootedness in Judaism as well as our relationship with Christianity. We specialize in teaching Scripture from a historical, linguistic, and cultural context using ancient biblical and extra-biblical sources. Our teachings are not infallible, but they are birthed out of our personal convictions and honest understanding of the Bible. We live out those convictions as Torah-observant followers of Yeshua. We are a voice for a Torah-observant Messianic Judaism, and we regard Messianic Judaism as both a legitimate sect of greater Judaism and as a solid member of the broad community of the body of Messiah. Conventional thinking may regard this as an impossible theological position to occupy, but that conventional thought is the very paradigm we challenge.

Netivot Shalom began in 1989 and grew out of our founding members’ collective commitment to create an egalitarian spiritual home for Conservative/Masorti Jews. Netivot Shalom is based in Berkeley, California, and is allied with the world of Jewish community. This participatory egalitarian community is defined by the values of: 1) connectedness; 2) learning; 3) justice; and 4) Jewish ritual. Netivot Shalom welcomes members who are Jewish and not, Jews-by-choice, interfaith families, multiracial, multicultural, married, single, families and individuals, LGBTQI, straight, old, and young. We explicitly recognize and cherish each other as teachers and students. For more information, please visit our website www.netivotshalom.org
