Clouds of Glory is a modern Jewish community in Nahariya.We bring together people who are looking for warmth, companionship, inspiration and the opportunity to do good together.It is important for us to preserve traditions, be open to the world and create an atmosphere in which everyone is comfortable.
In ancient times, "Clouds of Glory" accompanied the Jewish people, protected them and gave them a sense of the presence of the Almighty.We are inspired by this idea — to be supportive, to create comfort and a space where everyone feels good.
We develop and support initiatives aimed at strengthening community life and personal growth.
We believe that the strength of the community lies in kindness, respect and sincere participation in each other.Each of our events is not just an event, but an opportunity to feel like a part of something bigger.They appreciate traditions, support development and know how to enjoy life.
We combine educational, creative, spiritual, and social initiatives so that everyone can find their place in the community, unleash their abilities, and feel supported. In the Clouds of Glory community, projects are being born for people of different ages and with different needs, from child development and adolescent support to the spiritual path and helping special children. We are creating a space where children can develop and explore the world, teenagers can receive support and find their place, and adults can study tradition, ask questions, and feel part of a vibrant Jewish community. You can join existing projects as a participant, offer your initiative, become a volunteer, or support us as a partner.
