Each week, hundreds of people from across the city and across the religious spectrum – as well as groups visiting from overseas (see a partial list below) – come together to enjoy joyous prayer services, communal fellowship and inspiring learning at Shir Hadash. The Jerusalem Post ranked Shir Hadash as one of the two most popular Synagogues in all Jerusalem, while Israel National News called services here “the hottest spiritual event” in the city.
