Tree of Life Messianic Congregation
Messianic Judaism is a biblically based movement of Jewish people who have come to believe in Yeshua as the promised Jewish Messiah of Israel. Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus, which means Salvation. Today there are tens of thousands of Messianic Jews in the United States alone – some have estimated the number to be as high as 150,000. Messianic Congregations and Synagogues are springing up in almost every major city across the country including San Diego. Other nations such as Canada, England, France, Israel, and Argentina are experiencing a growing movement of Messianic Jews as well.

Simchat Torah, the annual rolling back of the Torah scroll, is a time-honored celebration.
The holiday of Sukkot is followed by an independent holiday called Shemini Atzeret. In Israel, this is a one-day holiday; in the Diaspora it is a two-day holiday, and the second day is known as Simchat Torah. This holiday is characterized by utterly unbridled joy, which reaches its climax on Simchat Torah when we celebrate the conclusion—and restart—of the annual Torah-reading cycle.
Rabbi Joel shares information and invites the congregation to view, up close, the Torah scroll on this day and shares information about the parts of the scroll and their importance.
For the story Rabbi Joel shares about the boys in the gas chamber, please go here: Dancing with G-d. For more information about our congregation please see Tree of Life
