Shira Hadasha, Modern Orthodox synagogue in German Colony, Jerusalem, Israel
The synagogue integrates traditional Jewish worship with contemporary gender roles, featuring a partition that divides men and women during services.
Founded in 2002 by Tova Hartman and local residents, Shira Hadasha established new approaches to religious practices in Orthodox Judaism.
The congregation requires both ten men and ten women to form a minyan, reflecting its commitment to gender participation in religious services.
Located at 12 Emek Refaim Street, the synagogue conducts regular prayer services where women can lead Kabbalat Shabbat and read from the Torah.
The prayer format developed at Shira Hadasha has influenced similar congregations across Israel, North America, Europe, and Australia.
