beit ulpana herzliya

Garin Torani Herzliya (Bit Ulpana Herzliya) operates about 20 different projects in the fields of Jewish identity, education, kindness, and community. The activity is directed towards and included diverse audiences within Herzliya, such as secular, traditional, and religious individuals. The various programs and events are suitable for all ages: children, youth, and adults. Today, the organization’s activities reach thousands of participants from the city. From within our extensive activity, a community of young families from around the city was formed. These families and the organization's volunteers dedicate themselves to the greater good, out of a desire to strengthen the intersection of values and social issues, out of joy and a sense of kinship.
