Congregation Ruach Israel to Celebrate 40th Birthday

NEEDHAM, Mass. - Nov. 13, 2019 - PRLog -- In anticipation of its 40^th birthday in 2020, Congregation Ruach Israel (www.ruachisrael.com), a warm, caring and joyful community where Jewish life and love for Messiah Yeshua go hand in hand, will celebrate with a full day of events on December 7^th and is presently raising funds for a new Ark to house its Torah.

The celebration will begin at 10:30 a.m. on December 7^th with Shabbat morning services.  The day long activities will include a luncheon, afternoon sessions and a catered dinner.  The festivities will conclude with an evening concert performance by Paul Wilbur, an internationally acclaimed Messianic Jewish guitarist/singer/song writer.

Ruach Israel, led by Senior Rabbi Dr. Richard Nichol and Associate Rabbi Nathan Joiner,  was established in 1979 by a small group of Jewish people whose belief is that Yeshua (Jesus) and Judaism go together organically.

The unique synagogue was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1980 and is a member of the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations; it has grown from its humble beginnings to serve a devoted congregation of families and welcomes interfaith couples looking to cultivate a Jewish family identity.

Ruach Israel seeks to empower the next generations of congregants through a number of programs, including Camp Or L'Dor for teens and an extensive Shabbat School and Hebrew School program. The congregation also established Ruach House in Brighton, a resource for Boston area college students and young professionals in search of a supportive environment in which to explore and practice their faith.
