Testimony of our Rabbi
Now little about me. My name is Eugene Emet Banak, during the circumcision in 2006 I received the covenantal name Emet. This covenantal name Emet in Hebrew means “truth”. This name was given to me as a witness to the calling that is found in me from Adonai. As it was from my very beginning walking with God that I was continually searching to find the pure way of faith that would be according to HaDerech (Hebrew: the Way). For clarification it means The Way of Yeshua HaMashiach. For in the Book of Acts His talmidim (disciples) were recognized as people of The Way.
<– My photo from 2006 while conducting the Mikra Kadesh (Holy Convocation) in Beit HaMashiach in London Ontario Canada.
Due to the calling of Adonai in 2006 I was able to be the founder of Beit HaMashiach; the first ever Messianic Jewish congregation in London Ontario Canada.
In 2009 the name of that congregation was changed to Eitz Chaim Messianic Fellowship, and now in 2024 after a few years of my brake in being active in the ministries we came to conclusion to form a new community under the name Messianic Judaism.
Now lets go back to my origins? I was born and raised in Poland in a catholic family. Not knowing about my Jewish roots. In the year of 1989 my ex wife, with our daughter Daria Anna Banak we arrived to Canada. From the very first days in London Ontario, Adonai started calling me to come to know Him. Since my heart was always open and interested for the knowledge about God it was the best appointed time in my life to reach to me out and bring me closer to Him. At that time of my very beginning walk with God, Adonai manifested Himself to me in many miracles and visions. That caused me very quickly to start adopting principles of HaDerech (The Way) of Yeshua into my life. Soon after those days we joined home fellowship with post-seven Day Adventist group.
Growing spiritually in that home fellowship was very important in my spiritual growth. At the same time it was my time to learn English language. But as the years were passing having at that time my flooring business, I founded that the fellowship with very beautiful brothers and sisters was not interested to be fully submitted to the pure Way of how Yeshua walked in obedience with God. That situation started to cause only tension within the home fellowship. At that time in about 1995 Adonai opened for me doors to find in USA believers who had the some desire as me. They were well advanced in the HaDerech Of Yeshua. That was my next new beginning of discovering Torah and the practical Way Of Yeshua HaMashiach. That year 1995 was also the time where with the blessing of Adonai I had opened in polish language Home Page to share online the messianic faith to polish people. By the end of 1998 we founded that in Toronto were few messianic congregations. So we went to see them. At my first entry to the congregation of Melech Israel Messianic Kehila, before anybody showed up for the Shabbat service I knew from Adonai within my soul, that finally I have arrived to the destiny of my faith, yet not knowing anything about Messianic Judaism.
In the mean time our family received to us three brothers: Dominique/David, Dezmon/Yaakov, and Brandon/Benyamin.
In September 2005, I enrolled to the Messianic Jewish school at Light of Messiah Ministries International in Toronto led by Rabbi, Dr. Don Meecha. Half a year latter we opened in London Ontario our first messianic Jewish home fellowship.
In September of 2006 by the grace of Adonai i became the founder of first ever in London Ontario public Messianic Jewish congregation Beit HaMashiach Messianic Fellowship as a mission congregation of Light of Messiah Ministries International. 
<— This picture is from September 2006 where Rabbi Dr. Don Meecha after my first year in the messianic Jewish school at Light of Messiah Ministries International is granting me title mvaser (hebrew : proclaimer) and license to lead Beit HaMashiach Messianic Congregation.
Further at the end of my school program and after completing initial practical experience of leading public congregation, in July 2008 in a public gathering; 
<— Rabbi, Dr. Don Meecha transfer on me his סְמִיכָה Smicha which is a (Transition of spiritual authority) as a public sign of transferring full authority of leading messianic Jewish Congregation.
Then at the end of 2009 our congregation become independent and have changed our previous name from Beit HaMashiach to Eitz Chaim Messianic Fellowship.
In 2019 my first marriage came to an end first to separation and in 2020 divorce. The divorce was first religiously done and then in 2021 by civil court. In the turbulence of this event i ceased leading our congregation as our community had divided and separated in two groups. This was a necessary time for me to take a brake in local religious activity as that was very difficult time in my life.
As the time have passed with the blessings of our Elohim 
in 2023 I have married Chayah. Our marriage was happening in India, as Chayah has large family in India. With that Adonai has opened for us a door to start Messianic Jewish mission in India.
For more info on the mission in India please look to the link at our main page where there is more info what is happening at this mission in India.
Now The Latest News!
Currently in February 2025, we opened this website as our mission in the area of London Ontario Canada. This website serves for the purpose to form Messianic Jewish community here in the area of London Ontario.
Shalom – Welcome to our Messianic Jewish Community.
On the Shabbat December 28, 2024, we decided that our mission will be going public, and then at the begining of February 2025 we were able to release this website to the public domain.
To all who are interested to get to know us we recommend at the beginning to meet us online live at Mikra Kodesh (Holy Convocation) on every Shabbat Day at 3:00 pm EST as we advertise this in all details on our main page.
Our goal is that at the time while you can join us online for Mikra Kodesh (Holy Convocation), we hope to meet also in person with brothers and sisters who would become part of our messianic fellowship.
Our Shabbat gathering in person is happening in our house in Melbourne Ontario. But our hope is to reestablish our public gathering in London Ontario once we will gather small community of believers dedicated to the HaDerech (The Way) of Yeshua HaMashiach.
Our gathering starts 3:00 pm.
Why so late?
Because in the morning at 9:00 – 11:00 am EST I am leading live Mikra Kodesh online in polish language for the polish Messianic Jewish believers.
Invitation
Invitation to join us in our Mikra Kodesh is open to the public to every person who is already Messianic Jewish or Gentiles believer and to those who wishes to discover and or would like to return to the Messianic Jewish faith of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach.
שָׁלוֹם שָׁלוֹם Shalom, shalom

About us
Shalom Chaverim
(Welcome Friends)
What we can say about us? We are right now in the year 2025 and it is the year of our beginning of restoring in the area of London Ontario conservative Messianic Jewish community that is modelled on the faith of Yeshua the Messiah of Israel. When we say faith of Yeshua it means both the obedience to the voice of Ruach HaKodesh( The Holy Spirit) and all applicable Mitzvot(commandments) of the Torah . In summary the scripture calles this HaDerech ( The Way). Our Messianic Jewish Scriptures of the New Covenant present the disciples of Yeshua as “the people of the way” (Acts 24:14).
What does this mean? It means that we are Torah conformed, Yeshua centred and Ruach HaKodesh filled believers.
Torah conformed– means that we pay attention to observe the mitzvot – commandments from the Tora which are applicable to our daily living and walk with Adonai our Elohim – God
Yeshua centred – means that we pay attention to learn from the life of Yeshua how to observe Adonai’s mitzvot and how to approach to people that we meet in our life.
Ruach HaKodesh filled – means that we very carefully pay attention how the Ruach Elohim is guiding us every day in our life in every matters of our daily life.
At the same time we preserve many elements of Jewish traditions that generally characterize all varieties of Judaism as we are part of jewish religion; yet at the same time we are focusing on restoring in our life the pure walk in faith and faithfulness of Yeshua our Jewish Messiah as it is shown to us in the writing of the Besora – Good News of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach. Thus, as we go through our life, we imitate the HaDerech shel Yeshua – The Way of Yeshua.
In our community we are open to welcome Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Yeshua HaMashiach. People who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah of Israel and who would like to share with us the same vision, values, and mission as we do.
We believe that Yeshua is our Redeemer and through His sacrifice on behalf of us He has redeemed us from condemnation of our sins.
We would like to form a community that is focusing in brotherly love and truth and continually discovering the heritage and legacy of the Messianic Jewish believers from 1th century CE. By doing so we are celebrating our spiritual life and Messianic Jewish culture that is given to us by our Lord and Master of HaDerech – The Way; Yeshua HaMashiach.
In our community at the appointed times by our Elohim we have Mikra Kodesh (holy convocation). Our worship is in the likeness of traditional Jewish synagogue which is similar in its character to the first century Messianic Jewish congregation.
In our gathering we experience not only like-minded community, but also in our midst we share by testimonies how our Heavenly Father works in our life.
We understand that from birth to death, life should be lived in the fullness of God’s grace and His presence. And the only acceptable worship to Him is to be done in the Ruach VeEmet – In the Spirit and the Truth.
Walking through our lives in this way, we have the assurance that Yeshua is always with us through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), offering to us life where our walk with God is ever richer, fuller and deeper than we could ever imagine.
From Passover to Sukkot, from our birth to death, the entire Messianic Jewish life cycle reminds us of God’s love towards us and His promises to be with us and redeem us His people.
Why Our Faith is Messianic Jewish?
The Bible is written by Jewish believers that were practicing Judaism . The entire Sacred Scriptures teaches us that Adonai builds His relationship and delivers all His promises in His covenants that He made only with Israel. He invites every person to join to Him in His covenants. Yeshua taught in His teachings that Salvation comes from the Jews. He is The promised Jewish Messiah. From Moses onwards He was promised to Israel and came to Israel, and He will return to Israel. Yehudim – Jewish people are His people, and every one who is from the Goyim (Gentiles) who wishes to be part of His covenants and His people is welcomed through the faith in Yeshua HaMashiach who is the only One Shepherd of only one flock.
We also understand that He did not found or establish Christianity, but showed to His people the Messianic Jewish Way for how perfectly to walk with God the Elohim of Israel. Yeshua commanded His talmidim/disciples to follow His Way. We are also his talmidim/disciples. He is the Way He is our Way to the Heavenly Father and to Olam Haba – world to come.
Our focus is on the Jewish people, as well as on all other nations to form community in unity of HaDerech – The Way of Yeshua.
From our prayers and our offerings we support Messianic Jewish soldiers that stand up to defend Israel. We also pray and support messianic families in Israel. We stand against every aspect of Anti-Semitism.
Above all we present to every human being the Good News of Salvation in Yeshua. We do that in the form and fashion which was originally presented to the Jewish people and further to the converts in the first century CE. From that time Messianic Judaism was practised by both jewish and non jewish believers in Yeshua until they were heavily oppressed and persecuted first by the Roman empire and then by the proto- catholic christian church.
Our mission goes further
Our goasl is not only to build here local Messianic Jewish community, but also help those who have no community in their locations and who wants to particpiate online in live worship and fellowship with like minded people around the word. Perhaps we can also help them to form their own local Messianic Jewish home fellowship?
As we will grow we will develop programs that will be suitable for learning Hebrew, and to offer program for conversion to Messianic Jewish faith.
Shalom shalom!
Messianic Rabbi
