"For I am Adonai, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed -- Malachi 3:6

Yeshiva Beth HaShem is a free online authentic, monotheistic, Messianic Jewish Yeshiva ("school"). Our Seeker Level (1) lessons are open to everyone regardless of education, religious background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or any other considerations. If you want to learn the authentic Jewish teachings of Rebbe Y'shua (better known as Jesus the Christ) you are welcome here! We are a tax deductible, member supported ministry of Temple Beth HaShem.

Our primary goal is to introduce interested people to authentic Messianic Judaism and to assist them in walking Derech HaShem ("the Way of God"). We are completely non-missionary and affirm that Jews have no religion to convert into. Our teachings are strictly monotheistic (and non-trinitarian) and Zionist (i.e. we stand with Israel always and affirm the Jewish birthright to the entire land of Israel and to our eternal capitol Jerusalem, undivided).

Our Chief Rebbe ("lead Torah teacher") is Cohen Gadol Y'shua ben David ("High Priest Y'shua, descendent of David"). We affirm that there is but God and one Cohen Gadol between HaShem and humanity, the man Y'shua the Anointed (I Timothy 2:5) and that the acceptance or rejection of this belief in no way separates People Israel from the God of Israel. The Covenant with Israel is eternal and unbreakable (Malachi 3:6). Jews simply differ in our views.

The lessons of Yeshiva Beth HaShem are intended to be viewed as svora l'halacha (or interpretations of Jewish Law) not as Jewish law. As Meshiykhiyyim (authentic Messianic Jews) we embrace the reforms of Rebbe Y'shua, who did not accept the complete body of Orthodox psak din, (or the Orthodox rulings in matters of the Law). As his talmidim we seek to be Torah observant in terms of our rebbe's reform teachings. These teachings are in the main harmonious with Conservative Jewish thought and interpretation and stress the important of personal freedom and practice.

If you are ready to learn authentic Messianic Judaism, the Derech HaShem of Rebbe Y'shua the Nazarene, then Yeshiva Beth HaShem is for you! Whoever you are and no matter where you are along your personal journey through life YOU are welcome here!

Please Note: Neither admission into Yeshiva Beth HaShem nor the successful completion of the lessons guarantee, suggests nor implies that the conversion ceremony into authentic Messianic Judaism will be offered. Formal conversion as well as the issuing of ordinations are based upon theological and religious considerations as well as successful course completion (regardless of the level of study). Our various ceremonies -- bestowals of certificates, issuing of ordinations, formal bar/bat mitzvot recognitions, marriage rites and so on – are conducted by the rabbis and/or hakhamim of Temple Beth HaShem according to our traditions, requirements and the leading of the Ruach of HaShem.

Please Note: One who is a member of the Jewish Covenant is eternally Jewish. This includes all true converts as the rabbis have consistently affirmed. Not all movements accept the conversions of the other movements.

Not all Jews practice the religion of Judaism (they should). Those Jews who abandon Torah observance will answer to HaShem in due course. This is outside the range of any beit din's authority to manage. All Jews are Jews regardless of religious observance.

A Note to Potential Converts: Battei din ("religious courts") reserve the authority to remove their recognition of conversions should the person cease to practice Judaism, especially if they embrace another religion or are disingenuous in their conversions. This is important to understand as a potential convert. Only HaShem determines Jewishness and battei din bestow their blessings upon those they feel are qualified to enter the Covenant. HaShem covenants with whom He will. While all conversions are to "Judaism" rather than to the individual movement(s), maintaining the blessings of ones movement is very important as HaShem authorizes the battei din to determine these matters.

Please Note: Admission into any Jewish Movement is dependent upon the considerations and requirements of that Movement's beit din ("religious court"). Since non-Messianic Jews do not accept Rebbe Y'shua as Cohen Gadol (High Priest and Mediator) and haMoshiach (the Messiah) converts to Judaism through this or any other Messianic Jewish battei din should understand that Messianic conversions will not be recognized by non-Messianic Jewish Movements and/or congregations whether Rabbinic or Karaite.

Persons seeking to formally convert to Judaism through Temple Beth HaShem should complete the Level One (Seekers) course at a minimum. Near the successful completion of the course ones mentor will discuss conversion possibilities with those who are interested. If you are interested in conversion feel free to contact us at any point during this process with questions etc. Potential conversion is not required in order to take the first level course work. We are not seeking converts. We are merely offering free assistance to those who wish to discover authentic Messianic Judaism, including those who may be considering conversion.

In the Seeker Level we offer a basic introduction to authentic Messianic Judaism. This level offers the possibility of conversion/adoption into people Israel as a Meshiykhiyyim.
Prerequisites: Willingness to study the material and answer exam questions.

In the Talmidim Level we take a deeper look at authentic Messianic Judaism with those who are sincere about walking the Way of God.
Prerequisites: Completion of all Seeker Level coursework and formal conversion into authentic Messianic Judaism if one is not already Jewish (exceptions to the later will be considered for serious students not yet ready for formal conversion).

After that... We plan to eventually offer two levels of Messianic ordination however this has been placed on hold for the time being due to time and resource constraints. Those who are ready to begin an authentic Messianic Ministry and need ordinations for this purpose should contact Rabbi Yochanan to discuss various ordination options.
