Our synagogue is one of ten synagogues of the Jewish Community of Berlin (Juedische Gemeinde – www.jg-berlin.org). Our sanctuary, which seats 100 persons, is located on the top floor of the building. For special events we use the big hall, on the former women’s gallery, which seats 250 persons. Our synagogue is not affiliated with a specific movement within Judaism, but grew out of the need for an alternative, egalitarian approach to Jewish religious life. Rabbi Gesa S. Ederberg became our rabbi in February 2007. She is a member of the Rabbinical Assembly, the International association of Conservative/Masorti Rabbis. She was ordained at the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary in Jerusalem, and she is also the founder of Masorti Germany. Service Times: Friday evening: winter: 6 p.m., summer: 7 p.m. (changes with daylight saving time) Shabbat morning: 10 a.m., followed by Kiddush
