General information about our synagogue and the community
Our synagogue is one of ten synagogues of the Jewish Community of Berlin (Juedische Gemeinde) – for more information on the community and on the other synagogues check here.
Our synagogue is located at the Oranienburger Strasse 28/29.
To see a map of the area, including hotels, please follow this link.
Our sanctuary, which seats 100 persons, is found on the top floor of the building. For special events we use the big hall, on the former women’s gallery, which seats 250 persons.
If you are planning to come with an entire group, we are happy to have you with us, but please let us know beforehand by sending us an e-mail!
Our synagogue is not affiliated with a specific movement within Judaism, but grew out of the need for an alternative, egalitarian approach to Jewish religious life. Services are traditional-egalitarian, mostly in Hebrew. We have Siddurim and Machsorim with an English translation.
Children are warmly welcome, and we offer special programs for them.
Rabbi Gesa S. Ederberg became our rabbi in February 2007.
She is a member of the Rabbinical Assembly, the International association of Conservative/Masorti Rabbis. She was ordained at the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary in Jerusalem, and she is the founder of Masorti Germany.
