Ki Tov Masorti / Conservative Synagogue

Masorti Centrum Ki Tov is a Conservative Jewish Community in the center of Warsaw which opened on April 18, 2016. Ki Tov provides a welcoming space for worship, emphasizing traditional Halachic values alongside a progressive approach. Reflecting the legacy of pre-war Progressive Judaism, Masorti Centrum Ki Tov aligns tradition with modernity. Members come from all over Poland and beyond. The synagogue welcomes visitors for Shabbat worship. Shabbat at Masorti Centrum Ki Tov involves vibrant, egalitarian services: Friday evenings (7 PM) feature joyful singing for Kabbalat Shabbat, followed by dinner; Saturday mornings (10:30 AM) offer a longer, more serious Torah study service (Shacharit, Mussaf), with lunch and social time afterward. Services are a mix of Hebrew/Polish, welcoming to newcomers, and offer prayer books/accessories, with Zoom options available for remote participation. In October, 2025, Congregation B'Nai Sholem/Fair Lawn Jewish Center in New Jersey, USA donated one of their extra sefer Torahs / Torah scrolls to Ki Tov.
