About Us

Darchei Noam is a Reform congregation serving the towns of Ramat HaSharon and Herzliya as well as the northern neighborhoods of Tel-Aviv. Darchei Noam is affiliated with the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism and the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

We now number 400 members who participate in prayer services and many other events throughout the year. All these activities currently take place in a local high school auditorium! As a result of the lack of proper facilities, Darchei Noam has not been able to fully develop its potential within the community, nor even to meet the needs of its existing congregants. We are currently in the process of building our new synagogue (more details).

Our synagogue serves an important function in this overwhelmingly non-Orthodox community, attracting hundreds of local residents during the High Holidays and other Jewish holidays. Our Bat and Bar Mitzvah program is very popular and we are proud to host Bat/Bar Mitzvah celebrations almost every Shabbat.

In addition, we organize numerous activities for our members, including a monthly "rosh hodesh" event, usually featuring outside speakers, and weekly Judaic Studies classes, as well as pot-luck dinners, cultural events and trips.
