| Welcome · About us |  |
"Kehilat Beit Shira", the Jewish Masorti Congregation of Hamburg, is the first Masorti congregation in Northern Germany.
The Masorti Movement traces its roots back to 19-century Germany, when Zacharias Frankel, a Jewish theologian and rabbi developed what later became known as "positive-historical Judaism". Frankel realized the necessity to approach Jewish tradition from the perspective of new questions of the modern world, and to find new answers. In the USA, this approach developed into the movement of Conservative Judaism, that has its place between orthodox and reform. In Europe, the conservative movement is known as „Masorti“ (hebr.: traditional).
In Hamburg, the foundation of the Masorti congregation „Kehilat Beit Shira“ closed a gap in the religious spectrum of the Jewish community in Hamburg. Beit Shira is open to all Jews. Our egalitarian congregation aims to be a place for Jewish learning and Jewish life in the spirit of Torah and Halachah.
"Kehilat Beit Shira - Jüdische Masorti Gemeinde Hamburg e.V." is a non-profit organisation registered at Amtsgericht Hamburg (VR 20295).
