Liturgy

 

Our service will likely be a new experience for many, combining both old and new forms of Jewish worship.  Though some of the melodies are preserved from our tradition, many are reinterpreted in more contemporary genres intended to engage the modern worshiper. We have endeavored to interact with and preserve the original intent and historical understandings of these treasured prayers, while being true to the Jewish heritage of artistic freedom and dynamic interpretation.

 

Our siddur follows the traditional order and the wording of the prayers is preserved in Hebrew with a dynamic English translation.  In addition, most of the Hebrew portions are transliterated for those who are less familiar with this sacred language. The service is designed to be easily followed page by page and in order.

 

 Several of the prayers are unique to Messianic Jewish liturgy and are based upon the Brit Chadashah (Renewed Covenant Scriptures). These prayers focus on the life, teachings, and person of Yeshua, the Divine Messiah.  Though these additions are selective, they emphasize that Yeshua is the Ohr Chadash, the “New Light” that has and will shine upon Zion.
