The Emet veShalom, also known as the Emet V'Shalom, is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 1 Keren Hayesod Street, in Nahariya, in the Haifa District, in the western Galilee region of Israel.
The congregation was established in 1963 by a group of people, mainly Jewish immigrants from Germany and Central Europe, who sought a more liberal form of Judaism. Emet veShalom is one of the oldest Reform communities in Israel and is now the only non-Orthodox synagogue in Nahariya.[1] The congregation is affiliated with the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.
The part-time rabbi, since, is Rabbi Ariella Graetz-Bartuv.[2]
Congregation Emet VeShalom holds services on Friday evenings, bar/bat mitzvah Shabbat morning services and celebrations on Jewish holidays. It also offers bar/bat mitzvah training, conversion, and a variety of Jewish educational and cultural activities in several languages for adults and children.[3]

The Congregation also has a long-standing relationship with Temple Sinai of Milwaukee, Wisconsin as well as a relationship with Temple Beth El, Madison, Wisconsin.[5]
