About Netivyah
‘Netivyah’ means ‘the way of the Lord’ in Hebrew and resonates Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” We believe in the God of Israel and that Yeshua is the Messiah promised in God's Word, Who “saves His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
First Century Faith In Twenty-First Century Jerusalem
Netivyah aims to be faithful to the Word of God and looks to the first century community of followers of Yeshua the Messiah. Netivyah’s primary goals are to:
-
Restore the Jewish roots of the New Testament by providing teachings from within its Jewish context, as a natural continuation of the ‘Old Testament.’
-
Provide resources and tutorials that explain how we can live our Biblical faith (such as the holidays) in a practical way.
-
Update with news from Israel, and also teach about the Land of Israel from within its biblically appropriate setting.
-
Provide humanitarian aid as if we serve the King Himself (see Mathew 25).
We fulfill these goals through developing teachings and publications, building community, and providing humanitarian aid.
Teachings
Our vision is to build up the Body of Messiah by developing educational materials such as our printed Teaching from Zion magazine and books, weekly ‘Netivyah News’ emails, video tutorials, audio recordings, step-by-step guides for celebrating the Biblical holidays, and other resources which can be found on our website.
Online Resources
Our YouTube channel and website resources present rich and applicable teachings from a Messianic Jewish perspective on the weekly Torah Portions, New Testament, how to celebrate Biblical holidays, and other relevant topics. We also share news updates directly from Israel so that people can be informed and pray in specific ways for the needs and events of the Land of Israel.

Serving the Community
Roeh Israel Congregation
Gathering every Shabbat at 10:00 a.m. in the heart of Jerusalem, we worship in the name of Yeshua and in timeless Jewish tradition, “as was His custom” (Luke 4:16). Rooted in traditional prayer and weekly Torah portions, our community life centers on building up our youth, celebrating the biblical feasts together, and discovering the Land through guided trips.
Messianic Student Scholarships
For over 25 years, Netivyah has empowered young Israeli believers through student scholarships. Partnering with local congregations, we equip the next generation to pursue higher education, building a strong Messianic presence and light throughout every sphere of society.
Supporting the IDF: Magen Israel
Standing with those who protect the Land of Israel, Netivyah puts faith into action by equipping IDF reservists defending Israel’s borders. We deliver life-saving tactical gear—including ceramic vests, helmets, and essential field equipment—while providing warm meals for soldiers and weary families. We extend tangible help where it’s needed most, ensuring that those guarding the Land never stand alone.
Humanitarian Aid
In Matthew 25, Yeshua is asked on judgment day, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?” The King answers, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”
Please join us in caring for the needy of Israel as if serving Yeshua Himself.
Food Bank
Hamotzi
Hamotzi provides essential food security to Jerusalem’s most vulnerable families. What began as a small soup kitchen in 2001 is now a vital network delivering tailored weekly food packages and fresh produce. Partnering with local social services and congregations, we restore dignity and hope—living out Yeshua’s call to feed the hungry (Matthew 25:35–36).
Medical Housing
Houses for Healing
Standing with families facing medical crises, Netivyah provides free housing through Houses for Healing Jerusalem. Centrally located near major hospitals, our furnished apartment offers a peaceful sanctuary, practical support, and warm care—ensuring no family walks through illness alone.
