Hear From Our Community 

Hadassah Johnson-Jacobs

Jerusalem, Israel 

There's a lot of synagogues in Jerusalem, but not a lot of spiritual shuls, where the atmosphere elevates you and connects you with Hashem. For me, Kol Rina is not just a synagogue, in the heart of Nachalot, it's a gateway—a portal that connects me to Hashem and Hashem to me!  Attending Kol Rina is one of the greatest joys of my life.
