"Synagogue of Satan": Confronting Hateful Rhetoric

from Simchat Yisrael · host Simchat Yisrael

In the wake of the devastating arson attack on Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, this message confronts how New Testament verses — especially the phrase “synagogue of Satan” — have been misused throughout history to justify hatred against the Jewish people. Drawing on scholarship and first‑century context, we explore why these passages were never directed at Jews and how reading the New Testament *within Judaism* restores its meaning and counters antisemitic interpretations. The teaching calls our community to stand boldly against rising antisemitism, to be lights in the darkness, and to embody the New Testament’s call to defend the oppressed and bring hope through Messiah.
