No reservation is needed. Visitors are always welcome.
Come as you are. There’s no need to worry about knowing what to do or say—this is a place to learn and grow. We’re glad you’re here and are always happy to answer questions or help.
Many of our members choose to dress in business casual or dressier attire as a way of honoring Shabbat. We simply ask that clothing be modest and respectful. If you're visiting for the first time, don't worry about having the "right" outfit—we're much more interested in meeting you than in what you're wearing. And modest jeans are welcome!
You may notice that some men wear a kippah (yarmulke) and a tallit (prayer shawl). These are personal expressions of devotion and are not required.
At Tikkun Olam, we believe that true growth begins in the heart. As Yeshua taught, “These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me” (Matthew 15:8). Our desire is to cultivate a genuine faith that starts with inward reflection.
What to Expect
✓ Introduction to Traditional Jewish liturgy
✓ Worship in Hebrew and English
✓ Torah reading from a scroll
✓ Practical biblical teaching
✓ Children's classes
✓ Prayer
✓ Fellowship
Our service includes liturgical prayer—often expressed through song—along with praise and worship, Torah reading from a scroll, and a message. Some of our songs are sung in Hebrew, with English translations provided so all can participate.
After the service, we continue in fellowship with an oneg (a Hebrew word meaning “delight”). This shared meal is a time to connect—celebrating victories, supporting one another through challenges, and enjoying food together. We also gather for Shabbat Table Talk, where we discuss the week’s Torah portion, ask questions, and grow together through meaningful conversation.
As it is written by Rabbi Shimon:
“Three who eat at one table and speak words of Torah, it is as if they have eaten at God’s table, as it is stated, ‘And he said to me: This is the table that is before God’ (Ezekiel 41:22).”
We believe that studying and walking in God’s Word brings healing—healing for ourselves, our families, our communities, and a broken world. As Proverbs 4:22 says, “For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole being.” (CJB)
Visitor FAQs
What do you believe about Yeshua?
We believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Our community is centered on following Him while remaining faithful to the Jewish heritage and traditions He walked in.
Do I have to be Jewish?
No. While we embrace the Jewish context of the Bible and Messiah Yeshua, our congregation welcomes both Jews and Gentiles. Your family heritage doesn't determine whether you belong here—your desire to know God does.
Are there programs for my children?
Absolutely! Children are a vital part of our community life. We offer classes during the service where they can learn about the Torah and Yeshua in an age-appropriate, engaging way. Families stay together during prayer and worship time.
Can I ask questions?
Please do! Questions are encouraged and often solicited.
Will I be asked for money?
No.
I've never been to a Messianic congregation. Will any part of the service be familiar?
Yes! No matter your background, you'll find both familiar and unfamiliar elements in our service. That's part of the beauty of Messianic worship. The familiar helps you feel at home, while the new often opens the door to a deeper appreciation of God's Word. For many, the parts that once seemed different are now the parts they treasure most.
