Adat Shalom-Emanuel is one of Israel’s most active Masorti congregations. Founded in Rehovot in 1970, Adat Shalom-Emanuel is today the spiritual home of nearly 200 families. We offer a pluralistic approach to Judaism that is attractive to Jews from all religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

The congregation offers its guests and members prayers on Shabbat and Jewish holidays, classes and lectures, preparations for Bar / Bat Mitzvah, celebration of Simchat (Shabbat / wedding ceremony, the joy of the birth of their son and more).

These services include:

The program also includes a trip to the Western Wall for the morning prayers with tefillin.
