Germany

We organise various projects on a federal level. Please find some examples here:

American Masorti shlichim (ambassadors)
for German Jewish Communities

In the framework of a project initiated by Masorti Germany, we were able to bring three american shlichim to Germany. The three Camp Ramah alumni Ruth Storch, Julie Edelman and Benjamin Sattin assisted with educational programmes in the Berlin and other German Jewish Communities and their institutions (schools, youth centers, snygaogues) and with Masorti Germany from October 2009 to June 2010.

Marom, the organisation of young adults and students of Masorti, offers events in cooperation with Jung und Jüdisch Berlin since June 2009.
Hana Gross is our MAROM coordinator. If you are interested, please send her an email.
In the framework of our Marom, we organise seminars, discussions and week-end activities with different themes for German jewish young adults.
We closely cooperate for these activities with the Bundesverband Jüdischer Studenten and Jung und Jüdisch.

Masorti Shabbaton - January 2009

We were very pleased to welcome various guests from Berlin, Germany and all over Europe for our Masorti Shabbaton. Together with the students from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, we celebrated a very beautiful and intimate Shabbat in the Oranienburger Strasse Synagogue. During all three days of the Shabbaton, interesting workshops on various topics (e.g. about Masorti history, Masorti Halachah, ethical Kashrut) took place. We truly appreciate your interest and active participation!

We also invite you to look at the article from the Jüdische Allgemeine Wochenzeitung:  Ein Schabbaton mit Visionen (in German).

This meeting took place in the framework of the Grundtvig Learning Partnership "Strategies for voluntary work in Europe".

Completed Projects

In the framework of our "Workbook for Jewish Immigrants" two pilote projects took place in Weiden in der Oberpfalz in 2003 and 2004, in cooperation with the adult education center in Weiden.
During these courses, the workbook was used practically. It was finally published in autumn 2006.

In May 2004, we organised a seminar for Gabbaim in cooperation with the Jewish Community Weiden about laws and customs of the Torah service. Masorti Germany has translated and adapted the booklet "Yad latorah - a guide for Gabbaim and Torah leaders" by Kenneth Goldrich for this seminar.

The seminar "Leading of prayers on Erev Shabbat" in June 2004 in the Jewish Community Weiden was open to participants with various levels of knowledge. Rabbi Ederberg directed both these seminars, and was supported by the american rabbinical student Julia Watts-Belser in this second seminar.

We cooperated with the Central Council for Jews in Germany for these three projects.
