The Masorti Movement is a leading force in shaping a pluralistic, democratic, Zionist, halakhic, and egalitarian Judaism in Israel. For over 45 years, Masorti has embraced Conservative Judaism’s balanced approach to tradition and change—integrating time-honored practices with contemporary scholarship, Jewish living, democratic ideals, modern values, and a deep commitment to Zionism.

With nearly 100 kehillot and minyanim (congregations and prayer groups) across Israel, the Masorti Movement nurtures vibrant Jewish communities. It also encompasses the NOAM youth movement, diverse educational initiatives, and halakhic, egalitarian religious services accessible to the broader public.

Masorti provides a welcoming spiritual home for thousands of Israelis seeking a meaningful Jewish life rooted in faith, tradition, and community. Through its programs and affiliates, Masorti connects individuals to Jewish calendar celebrations, life cycle ceremonies, and communal events, while actively strengthening Jewish pluralism in Israel’s public sphere.

The Masorti/Conservative movement originated in 19th-century Europe and developed in the United States. In Israel, it began with just two congregations—Emet V’Emunah in Jerusalem (founded in 1936) and Moriah in Haifa (established in 1955). Today, Masorti has grown into a nationwide network of nearly 100 kehillot and minyanim, serving both urban and rural communities. It offers a vital middle ground for those seeking a Judaism that is both modern and rooted in tradition.
