Temple Aviv Judea values Prayer, Proclamation, and People. These three principles (the "Three P's") reflect the ministry of Yeshua.

​

• "For He [Yeshua] is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall … that in Himself He made the two into one new man, thus establishing peace." (Eph. 2:14-15)

• Jewish people do not convert to Christianity; they make whole their Jewish faith when they accept Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Jewish Messiah) as their Lord and Savior.

• Temple Aviv Judea is a place where every person can worship Him, YHWH (the L-RD G-d), together. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1)

• As we worship the G-d of our Fathers, we pledge to always remember the Jewish roots of our faith. Temple Aviv Judea is "… not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of G-d for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Nations." (Rom. 1:16)

​​

1. PRAYER (Tefillah)

• We value the power of tefillah (prayer). We have the blessed assurance that if we ask, He will hear us (1 Yochanan 5:14-15).

• In praying, we:

  • Praise Him.

  • Practice Repentance.

  • Await with an expectant heart.

  • Yield to the heart of the Father, the mind of Yeshua, and the power of the Ruach HaKodesh.

​

2. PROCLAMATION

• Worship:

  • Temple Aviv Judea is a synagogue committed to authentic Jewish worship on the Biblical Shabbat (Sabbath). We observe all the Moedim (Feasts) of the L-rd as set forth in Vayikra (Leviticus) 23.

  • As a Messianic Jewish Fellowship, we provide worship through the doctrinally pure message of the Bible in a manner culturally relevant to the Jew.

  • Our ministry includes traditional Jewish liturgy, prayer, Messianic Jewish music, praise, Davidic dancing, creative arts, and theatrical drama, practiced in His Biblically appointed ways and times, within our Messianic Jewish identity. [Deut 6:5; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27; Yochanan (John) 4:23-24; Lev. 23:2]

• Biblical Truths:

  • Temple Aviv Judea is a "Torah-conforming" congregation committed to the Biblical truth of the covenant between YHVH and Israel as unconditional, irrevocable, and absolute.

  • We teach the relevance of both the Tanakh (Original Covenant) and Brit Chadashah (Renewed Covenant) as one continuous revelation. Biblical teaching takes precedence over tradition or human opinion.

  • We embrace the rich Hebraic roots of our faith in Yeshua the Messiah.

  • Our purpose is to present Yeshua as the final, sinless sacrificial Lamb, leading people to a saving knowledge of Him, and providing an environment where Jewish people can remain in their culture while worshipping in liberty in Messiah. [1 Timothy 2:3-6; Romans 1:16-17; 1 Cor. 7:17-20; 10:32-33]

• Proclaiming The Message:

  • Temple Aviv Judea is committed to the B’sorat HaMashiach (Good News of the Messiah) by effectively and lovingly proclaiming the fullness and Jewishness of Yeshua Ha’Maschiach – to the Jew first, and also to the Nations.

  • We serve as a bridge, educating believers about their Jewish roots through Hebraic teaching and Messianic worship, working toward reconciliation between the Body of Messiah and Traditional Judaism. [Romans 11:16-24]

• Administering The Ordinances:

  • The two main Biblical ordinances commanded by Yeshua are Messianic Immersion and the Shulchan Adonai (Table of the L-rd).

  • Immersion: A public sign of faith in Yeshua. [Luke 3:16; Acts 8:38–39]

  • Shulchan Adonai: An act of remembrance of Messiah Yeshua and His sacrifice, observed by His followers. [Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30]
