Jewish Synagogues

There is no shortage of synagogues in Beer Sheva, and you can easily find one in any neighborhood. Most synagogues are orthodox, and egalitarian services are hard to find. Listed below are a few options that have been popular with MSIH students.

  • Kehillat Beerot:

Meets at 6:30 on Friday night (for summers; winter they meet shortly after candle lighting) and 8:00am on Saturday, as well as on holidays at Beit Yatziv at HaAtzmaut 79.
The community is a mix of Americans and Israelis, couples with children, and single people. Services are “partnership style”, where men and women sit separately, and women and men each lead certain parts of the service. Contact:
