Gathering the scattered sheep of the House of Israel.
A network of Ephraimite believers with elders who counsel, a directory of fellowships, and a table with a seat kept for you.
B’ney Yosef North America proudly supports Israel, the Land of our forefathers.
“Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit” Jeremiah 31:5
“For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree” Romans 11:24
You are not the only one. Welcome Home!
You may have felt it before you had words for it, a quiet sense that you belong to something bigger than your own story. A pull toward Israel, toward the Sabbath, toward the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that you couldn’t quite explain.
You’re not alone. And you may not be who you thought you were.
B’ney Yosef North America is a family. Not a church, not a denomination, but a network of people who have awakened to a shared identity: we are the scattered children of the House of Israel, gathered from the nations, finding our way home to one another and to our covenant family in Judah.
We come together to study the Scriptures with fresh eyes, to pray as a family reunited, to encourage one another across the miles, and to prepare, with hope rather than fear, for the promised reunion of Ephraim and Judah into one whole House of Israel.
We don’t ask you to sign a doctrinal statement to belong here. We ask you to come as you are, ready to discover who you might really be.
Find your people. Find your family. Find your way home.

In a sense, we existed before we started.

B‘ney Yosef North America was established in 2016, but the Ephraimite awakening that gave birth to it was in motion long before. If we must pick a place and time, a good candidate would be Galilee around the year 30, when Messiah Yeshua sent His disciples out with the instruction to go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
What has happened in recent years is a refinement of that message. Many Christians are hearing a little more clearly what our Messiah has been saying: that His lost sheep are the scattered tribes of Israel, and that the church has been carrying them home without knowing their name.
We exist to study, to pray, to encourage, to find family, and to await and facilitate the reconstitution of Ephraim, then ultimately the reunion of Ephraim with Judah. We are not a church and we are not a denomination. We are a family.
Vision and Mission
Vision
The regathering and reconciliation of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel in North America.
Mission
Nurturing those of Hebraic identity in Messiah’s body by fostering reconciliation.
Family first
Mishpacha is the Hebrew word for family. Unity here is relational, not doctrinal. There is a seat at the table for you.
Shepherds, not gatekeepers
Affiliates stay autonomous. The elders counsel, mentor and mediate. They serve; they do not govern.
One stick
Everything we do is preparation for Ephraim and Judah to become one stick in the Father’s hand.
Four things, done slowly and well.
Since 2016 we have endeavored to follow the leading of Hashem. Moving slowly has allowed us to develop roots that go deep, which will ultimately prepare us for the coming reunion with our brother Judah.
