Mitzpe Yericho Synagogues

The Central (Ashkenazi) synagogue is located in the center of the Yishuv. The synagogue was dedicated in 1989.

The synagogue was built with the ideal of unity, as a place of worship for all residents of Mitzpe Yericho. As the community has grown, there are a number of daily minyanim. Many Torah classes take place in the Central Synagogue, and it certainly serves as the spiritual center of the yishuv.

Many tourist groups, especially those visiting the Judean Desert, take advantage of Mitzpe Yericho's convenient location to daven in the main shul before beginning their trip.

Kol Yehuda (Carlebach)

Gary Brand and Levi Chazen established a "Happy Minyan" in Mitzpe Yericho in 1999. The Carlebach-style davening, with an emphasis on song and joy, has become an integral part of the Mitzpe Yericho Shabbat scene.
