This is a truly amazing place of worship, prayer and great teachings! Kehilath Haderekh - Congregation of The Way has been and continues to be such a wonderful community of faith, where believers of all backgrounds come together and are lifted in the spirit with anointed services each Sabbath. What a blessing!
During a visit to NYC for a convention I needed a place to go for Shabbat. Someone told me of this synagogue that I was on the plane with. I went in and everything looked Jewish until I heard them talking about Yeshua....this parsha wasnt about Joshua so I asked the guy next to me and he said thats Jesus....we call him by his Hebrew name. I quickly learned that I was at a church and I was in the wrong place; I asked outside and someone sent me to a beautiful Jewish Synagogue close by ......it made a great story for the family at home. Anyway just in case you miss it this isnt a Normal Jewish Synagogue. They follow Jewish literature but also follow the Christian New Testament with Jesus and all so I would say this is more of a Evangelical Church.
When I visited Kehilath HaDerekh THE WAY for the first time , I knew in my heart that I was home, that I have found my roots, my family and since that day I fell in love with the reverence that they have for God at The Way. Ive never seen people of God so humble, and I thank God for the leaders and all that beautiful family that He put in my life. Yeshua (Jesus) is here in a powerful way. Come, visit and experience this amazing place for yourself.
A place to call home. The worship music is amazing! The messages are outstanding. They quote Tanakh, but also the Sages, The Apostles and even modern great thinkers to help you find practical advice for everyday living. Even the children are at home here, blessed by the whole assembly before running off to study together.
Kehilath haderekh The Way Congregation is a congregation that combines traditional Judaism, Messianism, and the move of the Spirit into a beautiful and powerful spiritual experience. The community and leadership along with the spiritual dynamic brings me great joy and has contributed to my own growth and progress. Come and see for yourself!
When all flights, trains, & rental cars were cancelled/sold out, I had the privilege of spending Shabbat with this home away from home. Everyone made me feel right at home and the teaching is wonderful.The Rabbi talked about how the Bible/Torah is the Bread of Life and correlated this to divinity of Yeshua. Some can be confused after saying the Shema given G-d is echad. However, Bersheet clearly depicts a plurality yet singular G-d. Thankfully Yeshua makes it even more clear in John chapter 1. HalleluYah!!!I encourage anyone seeking truth to visit.
Ive been attending Kehilath HaDerekh and have found as a Messanic Jew their Shabbats are a complete expression of what a day of rest is supposed to be.......which is praising Yeshua and be reminded of his word. The warmth of the fellowship of believers is just another reason I feel The Lord has profoundly lifted this congregation.
Kehilath Haderekh is a completely different, beautiful experience, with a teaching of the Messiah and the first very biblical covenant. the praises help you to connect with the spiritual in such a way that you rejuvenate in your faith. Be part of this great movement of love and service.
The Way Shul - Kehilath Haderekh is a Great shul! I have never felt at home in a congregation before as I do here. I love these people so much. Come and join us ... you will see. Have a blessed day and be a blessing always 🙏🏻❤️
A small friendly community of Messianic Jews who worship from all over the NYC area. They are warm and family friendly with great music and liturgy. Children are blessed each week and enjoy study together.
True servant of Yeshua and precious family of God. True witness of the Jewish Messiah - Our congregation The Glory of Christ was blessed by this true servant of the Lord. I truly hope to visit this Messianic Jewish Synagogue soon.
Wonderful Messianic congregation, welcoming, joyful, great worship service! Reb Benzi is Scripturally insightful and wise, balanced with a great sense of humor. Its the Lords home, and my home away from home when visiting New York.
Synagogue is very small and theres only 1 bathroom. I was very uncomfortable there but liked their beliefs & worship. Some people seemed friendly but others I wasnt so sure... Wish there were more messianic synagogues in NY. :(
Welcoming! Loving!I miss my beloved Congregation so much!I had to move from NYC.Reb. Benzi is the best Bible teacher I have had so far. Honest, humble man of God.Maharat Erika is so full of love. Reb. Emmanuel, Reb. Andy, so kind and caring.Miss you all!
For those of you attacking the Rabbi by whining about this not being a real Jewish synagogue should grow up and get a life. This is definitely not a Christian place of worship, it’s rather a Messianic JEWISH synagogue, so get your facts right before making false accusations .
I’ve had the honor to share in their worship of the living God, and I sure you that it is a blessed experience! I highly recommend anyone visit and truly enjoy the presence of HaShem that definitely is present there.
Kehilath ha Derek is a messianic synagogue is delightful with spiritual connection with the lord the Rabbi Ben is a dynamic true servant leader
I love this congregation. Is a beautiful family and the message about Torah is deep. I wanna see you soon. Thank you, Lord.
Had a great time this past weekend. The Christian Style of Worship at this Church is great. They are zealous followers of the Christian Bible
The belief that jesus is the mesiah and the new testament is legitamite is a Christian belief and anyone who believes this cannot say they practice Judaism and definitely cant be a rabbi!!!!!
I listen to Rabbi Ben Tzion every Saturday and his messages .Everyone needs to support him and get behind their Rabbi and encourage him as he seeks to build people up in YShua with the Word of G-d .
Better off going to an Orthodox Synagogue if you want to learn authentic Judaism.....this is more like Evangelical Christianity.
I was very upset when I walked into this place being new to NYC. They advertise as a Jewish Synagogue but they are actually a Christian Church / Missionary. They dont have Jewish Services at all here. If you are looking for a Jewish Service this isnt it.
This place is wonderful. If you truly want to worship the God of Israel, this is the place to go in NY City.
The Pastor at this Missionary Church is terrific. If youre looking to convert to Christianity this is the place to be!!!
Great place! Wonderful fellowship! ALL are and feel welcome!
This is very great group of people whos doors are open to everybody and welcome all people from all backgrounds.
Great messianic congregation everyone very friendly and a diverse congregation.
Had friend who went there said there is almost nothing Jewish about the place
Pastor Benzion is grounded on the word and a blessing.

2019-11-07I attended Sabbath worship in this place when I visited New York in February 2018, and it was such amazing. Everyone was so welcoming and Great message on salvation was shared by the speakers of the day. I look forward to visit again when I get the opportunity. We love you all and be always a Holy Blessing to this wicked world.

2022-04-12If your search for a true and real relationship with Yahshua has brought you to read our comments, then come visit us. If you seek fellowship with others who are not bound by race, gender, or judgement but an eternal loving relationship with the one and only true God, please come and visit us, you won’t regret it.Update 4/15/2022. I and my family are no longer members of KHD. We began to feel very uncomfortable because of offensive remarks thinly veiled in humor, and although the commandment to forgive is essential in our relationship with Yahshua; to remain in a position to be offended again is not. We pray for continued growth and blessings to KHD in the matchless name of Yahshua. Shalom.

2018-09-05After visiting several other Messianic synagogues in the city, I found Kehilath HaDerekh The Way. I was so glad I did. This congregation is a group of people who radiate the light of Torah, truth, and Messiah. A blend of old and new testament in a way that makes me feel that this is something like the way that the Messiah Himself may have viewed the expression of the faith. When in the standard Jewish synagogue, it feels cold, absent the Spirit, and devoid of Messiah, and when in the church, it feels good in many ways, but strangely as if it has taken a wrong turn to the Roman or Greek path, having left the foundations of Messiah faith. Where other Messianic congregations seem like a Christian church meeting on Sabbath, or just weird in their teachings or leadership, this congregation rings of Truth, Spirit and Goodness. I feel the presence of God in this place!

2018-09-04This place is the best Messianic congregation I have ever visited. There were only about 30 people but the worship was off the hook, and took me to a spiritual connection I had never experienced before. The prayers in Hebrew were chanted it was beautiful and they had a prayer book with English translation as well as a transliteration so I could read the prayers in Hebrew using English letters. The sermon knocked my socks off. The people were warm, welcoming and friendly. I left feeling I had a spiritual 7 course meal, and the bagels and coffee were top notch too. I made new friends and cant wait to visit again the next time Im in NYC. My real rating is AWESOME.

2018-06-21I visited this congregation in June 2018 and I was really blessed with the powerful words of the Rabi. At first I was a little concerned with one of the comments in the internet, but the response of the synagogue to it was enlightening and I copy it here: “As the Torah expressly forbids same gender marriage, our faith reflects the same. We do not condone nor support same gender marriage nor LGBT in our congregation.”I highly recommend the place. People are friendly and we are really blessed with the presence of the Holy Spirit.

2018-09-05We recently made this Congregation our home.In here we found great and truth teaching of the Lord Yeshua in Hebrew perspective. Every Saturday is always a day to look forward to as I learn more about my Messiah. Also, our children enjoys their kids class too. Since we came, we always want to come. Great worship service, great people, great teachings.

2019-11-08Kehilath HaDerekh is an amazing Messianic synagogue. I think its a perfect place for those who are looking for the Root of biblical faith. I am learning so many things on every Shabbat. What I realized one thing in this Shul, most importantly, the biblical teaching and fellowship in Yeshua have godly changed my heart and lifestyle. Thank God, I feel so much blessing in this Messianic community that I have never felt before!

2019-11-07I visited this congregation several times this past summer while in NYC. I found it to be a delightful shul with warm, welcoming people, and a very Jewish expression of faith. They have beautiful Jewish Liturgy, from the MaTovu and the Vshamru, to the Shema, Half Kaddish, and Aaronic Benediction, as well as other prayer, in Hebrew, English and Aramaic. They have a Torah service with processional, a Torah Reading in Hebrew and English with a Shiur/Drash, and also a lovely worship set with songs in Hebrew and English. The have Hebrew Classes, Bar & Bat Mitzvah Training classes, and a Beit Midrash. They have Bagels and coffee before the service and a Kiddish afterward. I was overwhelmed in a good way with the amazing things this little shul does. So Jewish, so beautiful. The rabbi, I met, has 4 ordinations, including his first, by an Orthodox rabbi. I was impressed by this congregation, and more than that, I left feeling elevated in spirit, knowledge, truth, and having made new friends. This shul is a diamond in the rough and a must visit for anyone looking for authentic Messianic Jewish Torah and New Covenant Faith. I experienced Messiah Yeshua there like never before.

2018-09-05Kehilath HaDerekh Messianic Synagogue (The Way Congregation) exemplifies the best of the Messianic Jewish experience. Their use of Jewish liturgy, and sprit filled worship as well as deep impact sermons, and in a wholesome, brotherly community. Having visited virtually every Messianic shul in NYC, this congregation is, in my opinion, the best expression of Messianic Judaism in the city. It is in fact one of the best I have seen anywhere. While small in size with about 40 people, the feeling of being served with the spirit, word, and love of God, really inspired me. What this congregation lacks in size it more than compensates for in the quality of the service, sermon and in the warm, welcoming manner of the people. The Good News of Messiah Yeshua is being taught here and well. Shabbat Shalom Indeed!

2018-09-09I love Rabbi Benzi and his beautiful family and congregation! Anytime we’re in New York we make Kehilat HaDerekh our stomping ground for Shabbat. There’s no place I would rather be when I’m in New York, but to enjoy a Shabbat Service with my dear friends! The worship is lively, passionate and filled with the Ruach HaKodesh! The Torah Teaching is rich in revelation and inspiring in its relevance and real application for daily living! They really love HaShem and His people!
