Beit Chabad Synagogue in Shikunei Amizrakh, Rishon LeZion: A New Center of Jewish Life

History of the Synagogue

In the heart of Rishon LeZion’s rapidly developing Shikunei Amizrakh neighborhood lies the Beit Chabad synagogue, a vibrant center for Jewish life and spirituality. Under the leadership of Rabbi Uriel Me’atuf, this synagogue has quickly become a home of prayer, Torah study, and community gatherings for residents of the area.

A Home for Prayer and Community

The Beit Chabad synagogue began as a small house of prayer but has rapidly grown into a thriving hub of Jewish activity. Residents of Shikunei Amizrakh find in it a welcoming space for daily and Shabbat prayers. The synagogue offers a serene environment that draws people not only from nearby homes but also from other parts of Rishon LeZion and beyond.

Beit Chabad’s open-door policy has encouraged participation from Jews of all backgrounds. Regular attendees often describe the synagogue as a spiritual home where warmth, tradition, and community come together.

Beyond Prayer: A Center for Torah and Chassidut

Rabbi Uriel Me’atuf has worked tirelessly to expand the synagogue’s activities beyond traditional prayer services. The synagogue hosts Torah classes, Chassidut study sessions, and various workshops that cater to a wide range of participants, from children to seniors. These programs not only strengthen religious knowledge but also foster a deeper connection to Jewish heritage and spirituality.

A Magnet for the Entire City

While the synagogue primarily serves residents of Shikunei Amizrakh, its influence extends much further. People from all corners of Rishon LeZion and even other cities in Israel come to attend its programs and events. Whether for an inspiring Torah class, a festive gathering, or a communal prayer service, Beit Chabad has become a destination for those seeking a meaningful Jewish experience.

Looking Ahead

As Rishon LeZion continues to grow, Beit Chabad is set to play an even greater role in shaping the city’s Jewish identity. The dedication of Rabbi Me’atuf and the active participation of the community ensure that this synagogue will remain a beacon of spirituality and Jewish learning for generations to come.
