Hey, it’s a mini-Temple B’nai Torah!
This week’s topic for Israel Seminar was “Progressive Judaism in Israel”. The class split into three groups, each of which went to visit a different progressive synagogue that is affiliated with the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism.
Molly went to visit the synagogue in Mevasseret Zion (a suburb of Jerusalem where really important people like Dave Mendelsson live). Rabbi Maya Leibovitch, the first Israeli born woman rabbi (everyone has a first here), gave us a tour of the kindergarten and spoke about her very moving personal story.
Thanks to Lara Regev for the photo of Kehilat Mevasseret Zion!
