Welcome to Kehilat Nitzan


Melbourne's only Masorti (Conservative) Synagogue

Make Kehilat Nitzan Your Spiritual Home

Kehilat Nitzan is a warm and welcoming Synagogue that inspires congregants through our spiritually uplifting services and commitment to Jewish living. Our mission is to be an inclusive, vibrant home where traditional Judaism is lived and breathed, where community is family, learning inspires action, prayer touches the heart, and good deeds repair the world.

Celebrating Our Past: Writing Our Future

We invite you to  participate in our Chai Torah Campaign, a fundraising drive to bring a new Sefer Torah to Kehilat Nitzan. The new Torah is being written for us by Ashkelon-based Sofer and Masorti Rabbi Gustavo Suraszki, who wrote the first words of Bereshit in the scroll when he visited our community in early December 2024. 

Resources will also be committed to building a new Ark and providing our congregation with meaningful spiritual, religious and cultural experiences for years to come.  You can visit our Chai Torah Campaign page HERE, and all donations are tax deductible.
