Connect with usWho We Are
We are a traditional Jerusalem community that strives to promote a sensitive, justice-seeking, and multifaceted Judaism; a Judaism that connects man to his fellow man, and connects people to the roots of their lives. The community and synagogue is open to adults and youth, immigrants and veterans, families and individuals and those with special needs. Under the leadership of the community's rabbis, Rabba Amirit Rosen and Rabbi David Goodman, and a wide network of friends and volunteers, we create a space of prayer, study, song, creativity, kindness, and a significant spiritual search.
AboutOur Values in Action
Chessed
Tikkun olam is an integral part of our religious world. We lead initiatives of charity and assistance to the needy in Jerusalem.
Study
Learning together is an important component of the community experience at Moreshet Avraham. We offer frameworks for studying, deepening, and getting to know the richness of the sources.
Community
We respond and support our friends in times of joy and sorrow, and accompany each other in times of crisis.
Prayer
Prayer is a way to connect to the Creator of the world, to ourselves and to those around us, and an opportunity to express intentionally and in song what is in our hearts. Prayer is the opportunity for the community to gather, rejoice, and mourn together. Prayer at KMA is egalitarian and the yeshiva is shared. The synagogue is accessible to wheelchairs, children, and families.
Connect with us
A community is a place of connections. Connection to the Creator, connection to ourselves, connection to those around us. The value of friendship is the foundation of our community experience. Just as Abraham was known for his hospitality, we strive to follow in his footsteps and accept one another with love and kindness.
Your Events with us
Our synagogue is bright and spacious; host your event with us! Family events, bar mitzvah meals, sheva brachot, brit milah, and life ceremonies. Come share the exciting moment of the covenant and the giving of the name with Kehilat Moreshet Avraham. A bar and bat mitzvah is an exciting point in the process of our children's maturation. B. Mitzvah events are held at KMA on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The rabbis are happy to accompany the process and the event. For those interested in the process of preparing for the b. mitzvah – please see the programs.
