About us
An Israeli nusach Ashkenaz minyan in Karmei Gat that grew out of one post in a local group.
How we started
Around Rosh Chodesh Elul 5786, in late summer 2026, someone asked in the neighbourhood group if anyone else was looking for an Ashkenazi minyan. Quite a few people were.
We davened together through the chagim, first at a hall and then at B2. Now we move between members' homes until we have a permanent place.
On average 20–25 people come each Shabbat, and the number keeps growing.
Why "Israeli"?
We started this minyan for Israelis who daven nusach Ashkenaz and hadn't found a place that felt like home. Everyone is welcome: men, women and families.
