Kehilat Ari Yehudah was formed in 1995 when the L-rd raised up a community of individuals to bring Messianic Judaism and revival to the Yardley, PA, area. This area, midway between New York City and Philadelphia, is home to one of the fastest growing Jewish communities. Ari Yehudah is a Messianic synagogue comprised of both Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), the Promised Re
deemer of Israel. We believe that Yeshua broke down the m’chitzah (middle wall of partition) between Jew and non-Jew and brought both together in one faith in Yeshua the Messiah. Together we become the One New Man as spoken of in Ephesians 2. Ari Yehudah is a congregation committed to worship of Adonai. As we become one with the Father (Yochanan [John] 17:21) and each other through worship, we are better equipped to carry forth the great commission to make talmidim (disciples) of all men. Our vision is to bring the good news of salvation to the Jewish and non-Jewish people who do not yet know their Messiah, and to bring understanding of the Jewish roots of the faith to the greater Body of Messiah. We are committed to the teaching of the Word with the understanding of both the Tanakh and the B’rit Chadasha (the Old and New Covenants) in their proper Hebraic context. We view both covenants as equally important for the teaching and instruction for living out our faith. The synagogue is a member of the IAMCS (INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE OF MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS AND SYNAGOGUES).
