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.
Our temporary home is in
Wallace Hall
at Brighton Presbyterian Church
1775 East Avenue
Rochester, NY 14610
We are now open for Service!
There is socially distanced seating, and masks are required. There is a section in the back designated 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. Although there will be no Shabbat School, children will be provided with an entertainment packet.

The Joy of the World
Why do we reap what we sow? Why did G-d give us free will? Why does evil exist? How did G-d make a way for us to be forgiven by Him when we have sinned? Rabbi Jim answers these questions and more in this teaching given on August 8, 2020, the 18th day of Av 5780.
