Jews for Jesus Invites You to Worship with Us for the High Holidays

Join us for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and other Jewish holidays as we worship the God of Israel. Through music, liturgy, and word, we will celebrate together His provision of Y'shua (Jesus), who gives us new life and who is the atonement for our sins.

Admission is free and these services are a wonderful opportunity to invite a Jewish friend - or if you are Jewish yourself, an opportunity to come and learn more about why we believe that Y'shua is our promised Messiah. An offering for the work of Jews for Jesus will be received among those who are believers in Jesus. (If you are not a believer in Jesus, no financial involvement is asked.)

Though unseeded, Pe’er advanced to the semi-finals, where she fell to eventual champion Venus Williams.

If Jewish athletes seem rare, what about those who believe in Jesus? In this edition we profile three—a major league baseball player, an Olympic cyclist, and an aspiring basketball player—with religious backgrounds as diverse as their chosen sports. But their common faith has helped them overcome some formidable obstacles, both athletic and personal.
