New Realities, New Opportunities - The Cultural Revolution in Israel Today Rabbi Shiryon brings us first hand insights of Israel which is in the middle of a cultural revolution. As secular Israelis begin to take ownership of their religious identity, changes in perceptions and new assumptions take root.

Rabbi Shiryon was the first woman to serve as the rabbi of a congregation in Israel. A native New Yorker, Rabbi Shiryon has lived in Israel for over 30 years. She is the spiritual leader of Kehillat YOZMA, Modi'in's Reform congregation, which she helped establish in 1997. Kehillat YOZMA is the first Reform congregation in Israel to receive state funding for its synagogue building. She also served as chairwoman of the Council of Progressive Rabbis in Israel (MARAM) and is a long time friend of Temple Sinai.
