The Israeli Masorti movement is akin to the American Conservative movement. The communities found here are made up of Olim from all over the world, as well as native Israelis. The members of the communities and the Masorti Movement itself are engaged in building communities that embody a democratic vision of Jewish life in Israel. Their goal is to combine modern Israeli life with traditional Jewish belief, while promoting equality and inclusion.
