Overview

The congregation was established in 1963 by a group of people, mainly Jewish immigrants from Germany and Central Europe, who sought a more liberal form of Judaism. Emet veShalom is one of the oldest Reform communities in Israel and is now the only non-Orthodox synagogue in Nahariya. [1] The congregation is affiliated with the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.

The part-time rabbi, since c. 2015, is Rabbi Ariella Graetz-Bartuv. [2]

Congregation Emet VeShalom holds services on Friday evenings, bar/bat mitzvah Shabbat morning services and celebrations on Jewish holidays. It also offers bar/bat mitzvah training, conversion, and a variety of Jewish educational and cultural activities in several languages for adults and children. [3]
