JOYOUS ACADEMY OF MUSIC (J.A.M.)
Music Classes for Youth
JAM was established in 2012 under the leadership of Rabbi Steve Weiler. The vision of JAM Leaders, Louis & Janet Torres, is to teach music and the love of worship to youth, in light of raising up future Praise & Worship leaders in our community.
Free classes are held every other Saturday after Shabbat Service, and each student has the opportunity to learn multiple instruments including, Guitar (acoustic & electric); Ukulele; Bass Guitar; Drums; Percussion; and, on occasion, Piano.
JAM has raised up several students who have went on to join worship teams at Services. Beyond learning music, JAM is a tight-knit group willing to help each other learn while becoming a family who shares the love of music, with each other and within our Messianic Community.

MEN'S FELLOWSHIP
Our Men’s Ministry is purposed to help equip men to fulfill the responsibilities God has given us as leaders in our household, community, workplace, and congregation. We bond as men as we build trust, accountability and transparency by coming together in monthly meetings at the Congregation, in local small groups during the month, and by mentoring younger men and boys through a new congregation-mentoring program.
The Men’s Ministry in Tampa meets at 2:00 PM on the first Saturday of each month following Shabbat Service and Oneg (light lunch). We enjoy a Bible-based study, discuss issues that challenge us as men, pray, and encourage and empower each other to be the Kingdom Men whom God has called us to be. All men and teen boys are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you there!

WOMEN'S SISTERHOOD
The Shoresh David “Sisterhood” is the Women’s Ministry of Shoresh David Messianic Synagogue in Tampa. Our desire is to create an atmosphere that fosters trust between the women (Sisters!) of our Shoresh David congregation, so we are free to pursue and enjoy meaningful and fulfilling relationships with one another, and enjoy the security that comes with having real Mishpocha (family) to encourage and support each other in our walk with Messiah.
The Sisterhood meets on the first Saturday of the month. In addition to monthly gatherings, we encourage each other to do good works (Matthew 5:16), such as visiting the grieving, those in the hospital, new mothers, etc. And we encourage friendships outside of weekly Shabbat Services. Our Shoresh David Sisters share with each other their wisdom, their experiences, their knowledge, and their skills.

GARMENT OF PRAISE
Intermediate & Advanced Israeli Dance
Dance is an outward expression of worship and love to Yeshua our Messiah. We believe that it is an essential ingredient of worship that is powerful in the breaking down of spiritual strongholds. It also fulfills the command in Psalms 149 and 150 to “Praise His name with dancing!”.
Dance classes are held regularly at Shoresh David as one of our goals is to glorify God in unity unto Him; to allow for the anointing of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) to minister to those at Services
Our Intermediate and Advanced Dance Teams also minister during the Spring Feasts, High Holy Days, and at community outreach events. Their heart is to bring God’s anointing and joy; and to create an awareness of what God is doing in relation to Israel and the Jewish people.

INTERFAITH COUPLES
You have arrived at this page perhaps because you are a partner in an interfaith relationship, or are contemplating an interfaith marriage. You most likely have questions, so we will do our best to try and answer them for you.
For many Jewish and Christian interfaith couples, merging two diverse cultural and spiritual traditions can be a bit complicated. Some couples would like to honor both traditions but are not sure how. While this may be a concern throughout the year, it can become particularly pressing at high holiday seasons and during “life cycle” events. There are pressures, questions, concerns. We want to help you explore all that interfaith means.
A Messianic Jewish Synagogue provides the ideal bridge for a Jewish and Gentile couple as it doesn’t require either to abandon his or her own faith. The Jewish person can express their Jewishness while the Christian can more fully appreciate the roots of their faith.
