Welcome to Kehilar HaNahar or, as we are warmly regarded, “the Little Shul by the River”! We are a vibrant, warm, and strong Jewish community davening, celebrating, growing, and learning together in the heart of New Hope, Pennsylvania.

We are an egalitarian, Reconstructionist congregation, welcoming of everyone. Since Kehilat Hanahar was founded, we have grown to offer numerous activities and programming for adult learning, youth learning, spiritual life, and community involvement.

Rabbi Janine Jankovitz leads our little shul with excellence as she engages community members of all backgrounds and ages. She offers her vibrant energy, intellectual and open mind, and deeply connected spirit to Judaism and Torah. Her commitment to building our tradition of providing a welcoming, diverse, and innovative Reconstructionist community is a gift to our Bucks County community and beyond. Her expertise in building a strong educational program for children provides great value to our youngest members and their families.
