Congregation Tsemach Adonai

Congregation Tsemach Adonai The Messianic Jewish Community of the Bay Area, California Messianic Judaism is a Torah-based Judaism grounded in the Bible.

Our congregation's name, "Tsemach Adonai," is Hebrew for "Branch (or shoot) of the Lord," as referred to in Isaiah 4:2:

"In that day the Branch of the L-rd shall be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped." Kehilat Tsemach Adonai is one of a growing worldwide family of Messianic Jewish kehilot that serve Yeshua HaMas

hiach (Hebrew name for Jesus, the Messiah). Messianic Judaism rekindles the spirit of the first century Jewish community of Nazarenes, who followed Yeshua and believed in him as the long-awaited One. Our Core Values

The Tanakh and B'rit Chadashah contain all we need for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. Our traditions are based on and conform to the Scriptures
We recognize the Jewishness of our faith and seek to practice our Judaism in such a way as to be a light in our community and to the world. We seek to identify with the remnant of Israel throughout time and into eternity. We desire to share the Messianic Hope with all humankind and will, therefore, avoid divisiveness in minor issues, seeking to discuss rather than debate. The whole of G-d's plan for humankind is redemptive in purpose. The atoning work of Yeshua is the basis for G-d's grace towards us which is entirely unmerited. Congregational Life

You can tell a lot about a congregation not only by reading about it, but by observing it. That way, you can discern what its values are. At Kehilat Tsemach Adonai, we place an emphasis on "kehilah" (Hebrew for congregation). We enjoy getting together not only for Shabbatot, festivals and other holidays, but for lifecycle events, birthdays and other social activities. We even like getting together informally when there's no particular reason! UMJC

Our congregation is a member of the United Messianic Jewish Congregations, an organization whose mission is “Uniting and strengthening Jewish congregations that honor Yeshua the Messiah of Israel.” Learn more at: http://www.umjc.org/

This week we are blessed to be visited by the Christian Mountain Children's Choir from the mountains of Taiwan. The choir, which has performed all over the world, consists of 48 young people from Taiwan, ages 12-17, who are brothers and sisters from the Christian Mountain Children's Home. The director of the home, Pastor Joseph Yang, is my good friend from college days. His sister, Pastor Grace Hamelin will be here to oversee the choir, along with Mr. Yang's associate, Pastor Paul Lee.

The choir will be performing in our Shabbat Morning service this Saturday, August 10th. They have prepared songs like "Tefilat" (My Prayer, from Psalm 55), "Haduda'im" (The Mandrakes, from Song of Songs), and Hallelujah (from Handel's Messiah). And a few more!

Their web site is here: http://www.cmchtw.org.tw/Default_En.aspx if you'd like a little background.

Here they are in Israel by invitation of the Friends of Israel Fund, Karen HaYesod:
