At Shuvah Yisrael we believe that healthy community prays together and plays together! Since collectively we bear the image of the One Creator it is incumbent upon us to also be creative and to encourage and enable the creative instincts of others. So we offer a wide array of activities that are meant to foster this creative spirit and to help celebrate one another’s accomplishments. But we also think it is important to just plain have fun and express a joy born out of gratitude for life’s goodness. We also value the intellect as a gift given by God, so we offer many opportunities for education and growth.  And since it is our conviction that personal growth will lead to greater community awareness, we also offer opportunities to get involved, both within the synagogue and in the broader community, helping to foster Tikkun Olam (reparation of the broken world).

Seminar with Rabbi Mark Kinzer PhD
05/22/2012

Paul’s letter to the Romans has had an explosive impact on the life of  the Christian church through the centuries. Its transformative potential is equaled by its ambiguity, and the difficulty it poses for all interpreters who attempt to unlock its meaning.

In this series of four teachings Messianic Jewish theologian Mark Kinzer will present his own translation of the letter, and will argue that Romans is best understood as Paul’s attempt to defend himself against misunderstandings of his mission and message. 

Rabbi Mark S. Kinzer (PhD, University of Michigan) is Senior Scholar and President-Emeritus of Messianic Jewish Theological Institute. He is the author ofPostmissionary Messianic Judaism: Redefining Christian Engagement with the Jewish People (Brazos 2005) and Israel’s Messiah and the People of God (Cascade 2011). He is also the Spiritual Leader of Congregation Zera Avraham in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Torah Club meets every Saturday at 2PM 

The Torah Club is  a multi-faceted study group that incorporates a weekly live study that meets every Saturday at 2PM, one-on-one study partners (chevruta), as well as a private Forum for Torah Club members. 

Each week we study the Torah portion from the Jewish lexionary cycle. This will cover the entire five books of Moses over the course of one year.  Each participant will receive a set of commentaries monthly from First Fruit of Zion and an access code to the Torah Forum. The Shuvah Torah Forum includes four audio teachings each week as well as stimulating questions and scholarly interaction.

This is class is Torah 101 for everyone, introducing students to Hebrew Roots of faith in Jesus, as well as the world of Judaism. These studies are filled with new insights and practical implications which exhort us toward righteous living while developing a deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father.
