I want to wish you a joy-filled, healthy and prosperous calendar year 2010!

Since September 2009, our community has been functioning as The Beit Warszawa Foundation, the Progressive Jewish Community of Warsaw. This has given us a level of stability and continuity we had hitherto not experienced as well as the ability to develop a variety of new programs, greatly improve the quality of our religious, educational and cultural activities, our communications, our publications and our services to communities in both Warsaw and throughout Poland. Moreover, attendance at our Shabbat and Holiday worship services and activities has been consistently very good and growing; the positive spirit and atmosphere that reigns at Beit Warszawa has indeed proven very contagious and reflects our vision of a warm, welcoming and truly inclusive liberal Jewish home.
