Yedidya is a 190-household Modern Orthodox congregation located
in the Baka neighborhood of Jerusalem. Founded in 1980, Yedidya is
comprised of immigrants from English-speaking countries, many European
countries, and native Israelis.
The founders envisioned a halakhically-based community, equally
concerned about traditional Jewish values, social justice, and
democracy in Israeli society. Through its social vision, Yedidya
attempts to cross the conventional boundaries which currently define
Jewish religious life in Israel.
