Rating: 3/5 — Typical American Conservative service, with participation in the service likewise.
One of Israel’s few fully egalitarian Masorti (Conservative) congregations. The Friday evening service begins at 6:45pm with no mechitza, allowing men and women to sit together and participate equally.
The physical space impressed aesthetically, though it suffered from acoustic limitations. Attendance numbered approximately 30 people, which diminished spiritual energy.
The service mirrored American Conservative synagogue experiences. Musicians incorporated guitar and tambourine during Kabbalat Shabbat but removed these for Ma’ariv.
For those seeking a place that resembles a service back home where men and women participate equally and can sit together.
Location: 4 Agron Street, Jerusalem, within the Fuchsberg Center Complex.
