Congregation Beth El of Manhattan

Congregation Beth El of Manhattan We are an "unaffiliated Conservative" Two-Testament Synagogue in New York City's Upper East Side since 1993. It is in this sense our Judaism is "Messianic."

Jewish people, along with "People of Calling" not born Jewish, and InterFaith marriages, have come together in Manhattan to observe and celebrate, pray and worship. We embrace historic Scriptural Judaism, inclusive of New Testament faith in Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth as the Suffering Messiah.

As Shavu’ot 5786 begins at sundown Thursday, May 21, 2026 - why not reacquaint yourself with the actual Biblical meaning of the holiday, and the path by which it was morphed across time into an entirely different focus (the Mount Sinai giving of the Torah, or “Matan Torah" – a meaning Jewish scholarly leaders freely admit, it is given NOWHERE in the entire Bible. It is actually the holiday of the “Bikkurim” (First-Fruits). 🙂

A clear history & explanation for this substitution on this can be found on our webpage (bethelnyc.org) at the link below. Enjoy!
