B'nei Mitzvah Program
The B'nei Mitzvah program is led by Dr. Stephanie Caracelo, a 4th generation Messianic Jew and a Doctor of Education. She has a passion for teaching the foundations of the Jewish faith and inspiring the minds of our B'nei Mitzvah candidates.
This program prepares candidates to become independent, faithful followers of G-d and responsible members of the Messianic Jewish community. Students are offered full and well-rounded Messianic Jewish education courses to assist them along their path.
Curriculum
The B'nei Mitzvah program is a multi-year program open to members' children, ages 10 to 13. Our curriculum includes in-depth studies in the following areas: the cycle of Biblical Feasts, Jewish traditions, culture, and history, Messianic Jewish theology, a Torah survey, prophets, writings, and B’rit Chadashah, prophesies of Messiah and their fulfillment in Yeshua, the history of the Jewish people, the importance of G-d’s timetable for Israel, and the character of G-d.
Hebrew Study and Practical Application
This program includes intensive instruction in Hebrew taught by Israelis Yoel & Eva Ratz. They moved to Atlanta from Tel Aviv a number of years ago and have a love for teaching Hebrew. Our candidates are instructed how to read the Torah portions directly from the Torah scroll and the Haftarah portions in Hebrew without transliteration. An understanding and application of G-d’s Word is presented by the candidates as they deliver a drasha (speech) of their Torah, Haftarah, and B’rit Chadashah portions.
In the B'nei Mitzvah Program at Congregation Beth Hallel, we see the fruit of our efforts in raising our children as 100% Jewish and 100% Messianic: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” –Proverbs 22:6

Men's Group
G-d said to Moses, “I AM who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”
– Exodus 3:14
We are committed to providing every man at Congregation Beth Hallel, and within our community, a group with whom they can grow and develop their relationship with the L-rd.
We provide an environment to interact with other men, who like you, face daily challenges which become just a bit easier when shared with mishpacha (family) and with the L-rd.
We enjoy our time together sharing with friends, learning and growing in Messiah and praying for each other.
The Men's Group meets regularly for the best breakfast in town at Beth Hallel's Messianic Jewish Community Center on the second Sunday of most months.

Worship Ministry
“Make a joyful noise all ye lands.” Psalm 100:1
Judaism is a rich heritage with a call and an invitation to exalt Elohim, the Most High G-d. We are commanded in the Tenakh to praise Him and to “proclaim His salvation (literally Yeshua) day after day” 1 Chronicles 16:23. At Congregation Beth Hallel, we join our mishpacha around the world in our liturgical exaltation. In addition to this, we follow after the pattern of Melech David (King David) in praising and worshiping our G-d, who Scripture says, “rejoices over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17).
We do this with music infusing modern Israeli and American worship styles with traditional Israeli and Klezmer styles. Expect guitars, drums, keyboard, percussion and vocalists all lifting up HaShem. Messianic congregations are known for their unique musical expressions about and toward the G-d of Israel. Congregation Beth Hallel, whose very name means House of Praise, is among the premiere congregations in adding to the Messianic catalogue of G-d centered music. Come join us in lifting up the name of Yeshua and proclaiming the one G-d of Israel through Messianic Jewish liturgy and song.

Homeless Shelter Ministry
“…sharing your food with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your house, clothing the naked when you see them, fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!” -Isaiah 58:7
Times can be difficult. Many people are struggling to find work and pay their bills. Must Ministries in Marietta provides a place for people to live when they have no home of their own. Since the early 1990's, once a month, Congregation Beth Hallel has volunteers serve breakfast to the individuals and families staying there. It is an honor to be able to assist our brothers and sisters in their time of need.
Our Beth Hallel volunteers arrive at the shelter at 5:30 a.m. on the 3rd Sunday of each month to cook and serve a delicious breakfast. The volunteers lead the residents in singing songs of praise to the L-rd, and deliver a message of hope from G-d’s Word that touches their hearts.
