What is Beit Shmuel?
Mercaz Shimshon – Beit Shmuel is the global headquarters of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, is a vibrant center for Jewish learning, culture, and community life. It is a home for dialogue, creativity, and connection.
With breathtaking views of the Old City, Beit Shmuel blends history and modernity, offering world-class educational programs, inspiring cultural events, and a welcoming guesthouse. It’s a place where ideas are shared, traditions are celebrated, and the future of Progressive Judaism is shaped.
What’s the Centennial Campaign?
Beit Shmuel is currently undergoing an exciting transformation. Through the Centennial Campaign, we are reimagining it as a dynamic hub for education, culture, and hospitality. This is more than a renovation—it’s a bold investment in the future of Progressive Jewish leadership and community.
Our vision is to create a space that inspires learning, fosters meaningful connections, and supports growth for generations to come.
