High above the cliffs of the Judean Desert, between the hills of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, sits Mitzpe Yericho. Looking out over the ancient oasis of Jericho—the biblical gateway into Eretz Yisrael—our community stands at a crossroads of ancient history and modern return.
It is here in the desert silence that our voices rise up.

Our shul is a close-knit yet warm and welcoming home, brought together by a shared love for heartfelt tefillah, musical soulfulness, and genuine connection. We are a vibrant mix of new Olim making a life in Israel and native Israelis rooted in the soil.
On any given Shabbat, our sanctuary reflects the true unity of Am Yisrael. Side-by-side in song, you will find neighbors in knitted kipot, guests in black hats, and visitors in Hasidic shtreimels. Travelers from all over are drawn by the spirit of Carlebach-style davening, where the prayer comes straight from the heart, overflowing with melody, joy, and deep devotion.
Here, no one is a stranger. Everyone is part of the niggun.

Twenty Years Underground: Time to Step Into the Light
For two decades, our vibrant, growing community has gathered in a windowless bomb shelter.
While that shelter protected us, with twenty years of sacred memories, we are now bursting at the seams. A congregation whose prayers reach the heavens can no longer be contained beneath the concrete.
The beauty, warmth, and elevation of our tefillot deserve a home that reflects their spirit: a sanctuary filled with natural light, open windows overlooking the desert landscape, and space for every soul who seeks a seat.
