Our Locations

Shir Hadash activities take place in Beit Natan, our new building dedicated to the memory of JJ (נתן יוסף) Greenberg, located at #1 Yakov Rubin Street, overlooking the beautiful “Moon Grove” Parkland on the border of the German Colony and Talbiya neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Located in the heart of Jerusalem’s English speaking population, in close proximity to hotels, and nestled amidst the city’s premier cultural landmarks, this site is perfectly suited to enable Shir Hadash to fulfill its mission of impacting the entire Jewish world.

Additional activities take place in our Jonathan Pear Educational farm just outside of Rosh Pina in Israel’s North, as well as at our Shir Hadash on Emek branch located inside the Ahim Hasid building at Emek Refaim #47.  Our newest facility, open in August 2021, is our Hospitality House and Amudim (Seminary) Dormitory, located in an historic building on Ruth Street in the German Colony.

Populations Served

JERUSALEM RESIDENTS: Established citizens and new Olim alike

OVERSEAS INDIVIDUALS: Tourists, recurrent visitors, students. People transformed by their Israel experience who go on to transform Jewish lives and communities wherever they go.

Celebrating Judaism

All Shir Hadash programs share a common thread: They celebrate Judaism – and in particular, Torah, the Jewish people and Israel. Our goal is two-fold: First, to elevate ‘traditional’ activities commonly found in Jewish communal life – like Torah classes – so that they not merely transmit information but rather transform lives. Second, alongside these traditional activities, Shir Hadash also endeavors to create innovative programming that is not so commonly found in today’s Jewish organizational life. Combining these efforts together, Shir Hadash hopes to leverage our unique position in Jerusalem, the center of the Jewish world, to impact the entire Jewish world.
