Har Zion Temple Welcomes You and
We Appreciate Your Support

Har Zion Temple was founded by residents in the Wynnefield neighborhood of Philadelphia almost 100 years ago. In 1976, we opened the doors to our Penn Valley location. Today, over 700 families support us through annual membership, and we strive daily to build community and make what we do meaningful, inspiring and accessible to our congregants, all within the framework of an egalitarian, Conservative synagogue.

Our size and the support of our membership gives us the ability to offer a diversity of services and warm community embrace during every step of our congregants’ journey to a meaningful Jewish life. Our congregants are encouraged to develop and enjoy spiritual and inclusive communities both within our walls and in the greater Jewish community.

Your annual support helps Har Zion provide:

• Twice-daily minyanim and weekly Shabbat worship services
• High Holiday services – with the option to reserve seating if desired
• Remote (on-line) access for worship services for those unable to attend in-person
• Special age-appropriate worship services for children and teens
• The services of our clergy for life cycle events and counseling
• The Noreen Cook Center for Early Childhood Education and Day Camp, both with discounted tuition rates for members’ children
• Jane Fishman Grinberg Religious School for children of members
• LMAHH and our Madregot Program for children with diverse learning needs
• Our new Gesher program for B’nai Mitzvah of children of members
• The use of our facility, large kosher kitchen and updated auditoriums for weddings, B’nai Mitzvah, other simchas (celebrations) and funerals
• Accessible entrances, the use of the Cozen Bimah Access Lift, the Sall Hearing Aid System in the Main Sanctuary and large print prayer books
