Emet veShalom is a synagogue in Nahariya, Israel. It 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 Judaism communities in Israel and is now the only non-Orthodox synagogue in Nahariya.[1] It is affiliated to the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.
Rabbi Ariella Graetz-Bartuv works with Emet VeShalom on a part-time basis.
Congregation Emet VeShalom holds services on Friday evenings, bar/bat mitzvah Shabbat morning services and celebrations on Jewish holidays.
