TOUCHING THE
LIVES OF ISRAELIS
Strengthening KBY congregations makes progressive Judaism more accessible to the vast majority of Israelis who yearn for an alternative to the orthodox approach to Judaism.

STRENGTHENING
THE JEWISH STATE
Contributing to KBY makes a positive statement to Israel about the value, validity and authenticity of progressive Judaism by strengthening and empowering the 50+ Reform and Conservative kehillot in Israel.

(The Traditional Family Minyan) is a young, family oriented congregation, affiliated with the Masorti Conservative Movement in Israel. We are located in Kfar Vradim, a village in the Western Galilee. Founded in September 1996 (Tishrei 5757), we meet every Friday night, Saturday morning and Holiday, with men and women participating equally. Children are also encouraged to take part in the services.

            

Our Vision As a community, HaMinyan HaMishpachti will pursue and share spiritual and ethical values relevant today, and will remain faithful to the highest ideals of Jewish tradition. Through prayer, personal and social involvement, we seek to strengthen our commitment to the Jewish homeland and the development of the Western Galilee, where we live.
 

To fulfill this vision we are committed to constructing our own synagogue building that will also serve as the Masorti Movement’s Regional Community Center in the Western Galilee. It will include a sanctuary, an educational facility and a Biblical garden. The Kfar Vradim Municipality has allotted us land. Architectural work and fund-raising are under way.

Kfar Vradim was founded in 1984 as a large residential community in the Western Galilee.

Today there are approximately 5,000 residents, with the population expected to reach 12,000 by the year 2010. This growing, dynamic community is largely composed of young professionals seeking a higher quality of life in harmony with the natural beauty of the Galilee.

Our congregation is an integral part of this "quality of life."
