Masorti
(Conservative) Movement in Israel
"The Masorti Movement is the Conservative Movement
in Israel. Masorti is the Hebrew word for "traditional".
The name was chosen because the Masorti Movement fosters the
practice of traditional Judaism among Israeli men and women
while embracing modernity. In that way the Masorti Movement
helps to promote the growth of a healthy and tolerant spiritual
and ethical foundation in Israeli society."

- Fuchsberg Center for Conservative Judaism
Leaders of the United Synagogue decided years ago to establish
a Conservative Jewish home in the heart of the Jewish State.
Imbued with that vision, they founded The Center for Conservative
Judaism in Jerusalem. Today, Conservative Jews from all over
the world visit the Center for study, guidance, fellowship and
hospitality, and above all, to be exposed to the Jerusalem/Israel
Experience.

The mission of the Conservative Yeshiva is the same mission

and teachers can grow together in the service of God through
common prayer, aid to the needy, and, most importantly, study
of Torah.
