Who we are

A Jewish community, with Yeshua.

Benei Avraham is a Messianic Jewish congregation in the Dallas area, a Torah-observant, Traditional Jewish Chavurah, inspired by Mashiach. A chavurah is a close-knit fellowship. We keep Shabbat and the festivals, study Torah, and follow Yeshua (Jesus) as Mashiach, the Messiah of Israel.

  • For Jews who follow Yeshua
    Come home to Torah, the siddur and Jewish life, with support for a formal return to Judaism.
  • For believers drawn to Torah
    Learn what Yeshua kept: Shabbat, the feasts, the commandments. A path to formal conversion is available when you're ready.
  • For the simply curious
    No commitment and no pressure. Come see what a Shabbat morning looks like.

Very kind and genuine people. A real love for the Torah.
BatyaGoogle review
Every time my wife and I have visited Benei Avraham, we have been greeted with hospitality. The Rabbi and Rebettzin are very friendly and they love discussing Torah, Halacha, and Yehoshua with those willing to do so.
Gordon “Conya” HayesGoogle review
I have only participated online, but feel a part of the family even from Alabama. My Hebrew has improved and I've learned halacha in such a gentle way. Our family has been able to absorb it and walk in the new things we have learned. I hope to be able to meet them in person someday!

About our congregation

What is a Messianic Jewish congregation?

A Messianic Jewish congregation is a Jewish community that keeps Shabbat, the biblical feasts and the Torah, and believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah of Israel. At Benei Avraham, Jews and non-Jews pray together from the siddur in Hebrew and English, read the Torah every Shabbat, and study it in light of Yeshua’s teaching.

Where can I find a traditional Messianic Jewish congregation in Dallas?

Benei Avraham is a traditional, Torah-observant Messianic Jewish congregation in Dallas County, Texas, meeting every Shabbat (Saturday) at 10 am, in person and on Zoom. We are a chavurah serving the Dallas Metroplex and the broader Jewish and Messianic Jewish community. Our services emphasize traditional liturgy, deep Torah study, and a faithful exploration of Yeshua within the context of Jewish heritage. Whether you are a lifelong Jewish believer, exploring conversion, or returning to your ancestral roots, you are welcome. We gather every Shabbat and for the biblical holidays.

Why do people choose Benei Avraham?

We have cultivated a vibrant and deeply spiritual space: a Torah-observant environment where both Jewish and non-Jewish believers can grow. Our families appreciate how we blend traditional Jewish liturgy with faith in Yeshua, and our Hebrew instruction and educational resources give deep biblical roots. We are more than a place of worship; we are a warm chavurah where everyone is welcomed.

What educational resources are available for learning Biblical Hebrew and studying the Torah?

We offer Biblical Hebrew instruction, Torah lessons and in-depth articles. We also explore Jewish history, Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah and halachah, showing how they connect with faith in Yeshua, and we provide our own Messianic Jewish Siddur for prayer. Our materials are designed for both beginners and advanced students.

How can non-Jews learn about Judaism or pursue a formal conversion?

We warmly welcome non-Jews who are drawn to the Torah. You can study Jewish tradition, learn Biblical Hebrew, and discover the deep connection between the Torah and faith in Yeshua. For those seeking a deeper commitment, we offer guidance, resources and personal mentorship through a formal conversion process. Reach out to learn how to join our classes and community life.

What support is available for people with Jewish ancestry seeking to return to Judaism?

We are committed to helping people with Jewish ancestry, including Benei Anusim, make a formal return to Judaism. We understand that discovering and reclaiming your heritage can be a complex journey. We offer a welcoming, non-judgmental environment with personal guidance, halachic resources and educational support, and a spiritual family to walk alongside you.

Does the congregation take part in community outreach and ministries?

Yes. We are involved in local community outreach, global initiatives and prison ministries, because living out our faith means serving those in need. To get involved, ask about Spanish translation, or connect with us, call or text (469) 608-9944 or email connect@beneiavraham.com. You can also watch our latest teachings on YouTube.
