Shame on them, the conservative movement of actual Judaism doesn’t claim them because this “synagogue” is not practicing Judaism. One of the most deceitful churches out there. Two testament conservative Judaism doesn’t exist. Their whole thing is a lie.
Edit: they also don’t know their Talmud, nor their tanakh. The suffering servant is about Israel, not about the messiah, and Bavli Sukkah 52a is about Zechariah, not about Isaiah. It’s clear this “rabbi” only learns things out of context that he think can help convert people

Having grown up in this synagogue my entire life, I am proud to be a part of this life-changing, enlightening, and inclusive community of my people and a part of this synagogue that has been run by my parents for even before I was born. With sound and *fully-informed* logic, a heart-warming and *ever-welcoming* atmosphere, and a sacred and unconditionally profound environment, I always have been and always will be honored, humbled and happy to forever be a part of the Messianic community of Congregation Beth El of Manhattan. So, if you’re truly curious and/or eager to learn more *facts* about us, do not, I repeat, *do not* be afraid to visit our website homepage and see for yourself what could change your life as much as it still is mine.

I have been a member since October 1996. I have also been to several other Messianic synagogues here in the City. Yet, I keep coming back to my “home” shul. Why? Because I feel it is the most authentic, sane, vibrant 2Testament Jewish form of worship and teaching in NYC.

Messianic, meaning: Christian, church that pretends to be Jewish. If you are looking for a authentic synagogue where an authentic form of Judaism is practiced, look elsewhere. There are plenty of options in Manhattan. This is not one of them.
It should be obvious: any person or institution professing believe in Jesus and the New Testament is NOT Jewish by definition but Christian.

I have been attending Congregation Beth El for a few years now and appreciate the close fellowship with fellow members as well as Rabbi Bruce Cohen’s availability, willingness and passion to answer and address Biblical and spiritual questions.

A place to worship, love, learn, and grow.
Spiritually vibrant and authentically Jewish observance. Balanced scholarly Biblical teaching of both Testaments reveals truth about God, Messiah, and healthy spirituality. New Testament writings taught within original Jewish context brings depth and accuracy of understanding.

I have been attending this shul for over 20 years now. It is my spiritual home.
The musical worship is vibrant and the teaching on 2 Testament Conservative Judasim is solid and very well balanced. Come check it out if you are curious!😊
