Kehilat Tzedek —Caring Community and Israel 
                                                                                                      
Kehilat Tzedek , established in 2005, is a center for development of communal social responsibility. Kehilat Tzedek supports approximately 80 congregations of all Jewish denominations in Israel who are involved in projects across the country.

The focus is on becoming a "Supportive Community" (Caring Congregation) by taking action in the form of social justice work both within the community and in the world.

Kehilat Tzedek provides professional consultation services, financial support for projects and training programs. Additionally, Kehilat Tzedek is involved in the development of Pastoral Care in Israel.

The 2nd edition of Kehilat Tzedek's "ACTION Magazine" - a web based newsletter providing updates about Kehilat Tzekek's work in Israel is now available by clicking here.
