The Sephardic minyan

One community, each with its own tradition

The Shul opened its doors so that Sephardic families could keep their original traditions, with daily and Shabbat tefilot of their own, while sharing in every social, spiritual and educational part of Shul life.

Our story

Sephardim and Ashkenazim, one Shul

In May 1995 The Shul hosted the Annual Sephardic Rabbis Convention, addressed by the Rishon L'Zion, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Bakshi Doron. The community has grown on every level since, and continues to grow.

The Sephardic minyan offers daily and Shabbat services and takes part in all of The Shul's activities. In this way everyone keeps their own tradition, and Sephardim and Ashkenazim grow together as one community.
