Does Beth Yeshua try to make everyone a Jew?

No. It must be understood, however, from Ephesians 2 that non-Jewish believers in Yeshua, who were “formerly far off” (verse 13) and estranged “from the national life of Israel,” (verse 12) are now “fellow-citizens with the people of God”(Israel)(verse 19). In other words, they are now a “grafted-in” part of the people of Israel (both physical and spiritual (Romans 11)), but they are not “Jews” (meaning: from Judah, a specific tribe of Israel). It is also understood that, given the calling of God upon Beth Yeshua to a distinctly Jewish expression, those committed to this congregation should have a desire to live out their lives in a manner keeping with that calling. This is implied in Acts 15:21, where the new non-Jewish believers would congregate in the synagogues on the Sabbath and hear Moshe (Law).
