Congregation Shema Yisrael is a congregation of Jews and Gentiles who believe in the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), and who worship the God of Israel in a Jewish way. We are committed to restoring the Jewish Roots of our faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Our purpose is to proclaim Messiah Yeshua to Jewish and non-Jewish people, connect them personally with the God of Israel through prayer and worship, draw them into fellowship, lead them to spiritual maturity, equip them to serve, and inspire believers everywhere to reconnect with their Jewish roots.
We have moved into our new home at:
250 Edgewood Avenue
Rochester, NY 14618!
Please join us for our Saturday Shabbat Service at 10:00 AM!
There is plenty of socially distanced seating, and masks are required. We do have a designated section for those who are unable to wear a mask for medical reasons. All children are welcome, and are required to wear a mask over the age of two. Shabbat school is available for all children who wish to attend.
We will still be having ONLINE Shabbat services. Click here to join us live on Facebook at 10:00 am on Shabbat, or here to join us live on YouTube.

Purim Today
How is the pattern of persecution that is described in the Book of Esther repeating itself in the US today? Why didn't Mordecai bow to Haman? Why did Esther invite the King to a banquet instead of immediately accusing Haman? Rabbi Jim answers these questions and five others about Esther in this teaching given on Shushan Purim, February 27, 2021, the 15th day of Adar 5781.
