Connect with usWho we are
We are a traditional Jerusalem community that strives to promote a sensitive, justice-seeking, and multi-faceted Judaism – a Judaism that connects man to his fellow man, and connects people to the roots of their lives.
The community and synagogue are open to adults and youth, immigrants and veterans, families and individuals and those with special needs.
Under the leadership of the community's rabbis, Raba Amirit Rosen and Rabbi David Goodman, and a wide network of neighborhood friends and volunteers, we create a space for prayer, study, poetry, creativity, kindness, and meaningful spirituality.
AboutCommunity Activities
Chessed
Social involvement and tikkun olam are an integral part of our religious world, and accompany each other in times of crisis. We lead initiatives of social justice and assistance to the needy in Jerusalem.
Study
Joint study 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 a way to express intentionally and in poetry 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 sanctuary is shared. The synagogue is accessible to wheelchairs, children and families.
Connect with us
Community is a place of connections. Connection to the Creator, connection to ourselves, connection to those around us. The value of membership is the infrastructure for our community experience. Just as Abraham was known for his hospitality, we strive to follow his path and receive each other with love.
Your Events with Us
Our synagogue is bright and spacious – come visit us! Family events, Mitzvah feasts, Sheva Barachot, Zeved Bat, circumcision, and life ceremonies. Come share the exciting moment of the covenant and the giving of the name at Kehilat Moreshet Avraham. Bar and Bat Mitzvah is an exciting point in the growing up process of our children. Bnei Mitzvot are held in the heichal on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The rabbis of the community are happy to accompany the process and the event. For those interested in the B. Mitzva preparation process, please refer to the Programs page.

Preparation for Bar and Bat Mitzvah
A journey of acquaintance and encounter with the Jewish bookcase, the prayer, the tallit and the tefillin, and the values of kindness and morality to which the Jewish tradition aspires. The rabbis accompany the family before and during the ceremony and build the sermon together with the bar/bat mitzvah.
