Ministries

HaEmet BeAhava congregation works hard to make a difference in Haifa and its surrounding regions. The congregation of 50-60 members shares the light of Messiah to the Ethiopian Jewish community and guides and helps its members to grow as believers. We also helps to develop our congregants as productive members of Israeli society. It is estimated that nearly 90% of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) in Israel live below the poverty line. Unfortunately, many HaEmet BeAhava Congregation members share the poverty that is common to their people group in Israel.

HaEmet BeAhava congregation meets as a congregation as well as in home fellowship groups. Almost none of the members have cars, meaning that most members take the bus to meetings. This "transportation problem” not only reduces the number of people who can attend meetings, but also places a financial hardship on the majority of congregational members. We have several projects that seek to address our great needs in small, practical, and important ways.

“And Yeshua came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”

— Matthew 28:18-20 ESV

  • Shabbat Weekend

    Once a month, to help congregants overcome the difficulty of getting to meetings, we have a Shabbat together on Friday evenings to share a meal, have a fun–filled evening of fellowship, games for the children, singing, and a message from the Word of God.

  • Our Special Service

    We come to celebrate together the various holidays that our members can enjoy in community: including Purim, Hanukkah, Yom Ha'tz'maut . We provide food, gifts for children and transportation.

  • Private Social Worker

    A special need of our people is their inability to properly navigate the social service system in Israel. As a result, they often suffer unnecessary financial hardship and violation of their rights as citizens of Israel. A great problem is their poor language skills. this project supplies home visits by knowledgeable and understanding social workers who will advise and educate the Beta Israel to improve their situation.

  • Distribution Center

    Our distribution center works 3 days a week. We distribute food, clothing, and books.
