Welcome to Kehillat Shivtei Yisrael!
About
Shivtei is a Dati Leumi Tzioni community, founded in 1985 as the “minyan hakatan” at Moriah Shul, comprising just twenty families. Today, we are blessed to have over 350 families from all over the world. We regularly host guest speakers throughout the year with scholars in residence and standalone shiurim. These include some of the most highly accomplished figures in the Religious Zionist world. In recent years, we have hosted Chief Rabbi Dr Ephraim Mirvis from the UK, Rabbi Herschel Schachter, Rosh Kollel of Yeshiva University, Dr Tanya White, a lecturer in Jewish philosophy at Matan and Bar Ilan University, Rabbi Shalom Rosner, Rosh Beit Midrash at Machon Lev, well known for his online Daf Yomi shiurim, Rabbi Leo Dee, and popular Israeli journalist Sivan Rahav Meir. Our guests also come from a wide spectrum of Israeli society and the international community. In recent years we have had Yoseph Haddad, an Arab Israeli who does hasbara for Israel, Haviv Rettig Gur, a prolific speaker and well-known political consultant, Holocaust survivors, families of October 7th heroes including Rachel and Jonathan Goldberg-Polin, and more.
Our Values
As a shul and community, we believe in continually striving to enrich the quality of religious and communal Jewish life of our members. We do this by combining a sense of community and belonging within an inspirational religious Jewish environment. That is reflected in the services, programming
and activities provided by the shul.
Community
We pride ourselves in running an active Community centred around our Modern Orthodox shul. We have minyanim each morning, afternoon and evening, minyanim over Shabbat, five kids / youth services, and shiurim and activities during the week. We have developed a strong Chesed programme that ensures we look out for those that are going through stress and tough times. The Shivtei family wants to be there for one another, often taking place of the families we have left behind in Chutz La’aretz.
