Welcome to Har Zion Temple
Wonderful spiritual, educational, and social experiences occur here every day - we look forward to greeting you.
From our Main Line suburban Philadelphia location, we offer twice daily minyanim, award-winning child and adult education, one-to-one learning and counseling with our clergy, and festive Shabbat, holiday and life cycle celebrations to all our members. There is also the opportunity to join together in any of our many committees and groups including Sisterhood, Men’s Club, Home & School Association, PTA, Active Adults (HAZAAC), for educational and social events, and to participate in Tikkun Olam projects that add another meaningful layer to the Har Zion experience.
We invite you to use this website as an entrance to the Har Zion community and we hope you will be inspired to join us in person. It is our mission to offer welcome to you and your family, so please feel free to observe a Shabbat service or speak with our Executive Director, Gavi Miller, to truly begin to understand the strength of community and family here at Har Zion. Come Home.
This year the Purim Shpiel followed the yellow brick road into the land of PersOz as the Gorson Auditorium was turned into a dinner theater. The shpiel featured the renowned Penn Valley Players who, once again, entertained the congregation with their enthusiastic rendition of the story of Purim told with music, beautiful scenery and special effects. The reviews were wonderful and well-deserved for a cast who works hard to put a smile on our Har Zion faces.
This year, the Men’s Club held their 4th Annual Golf Outing at the Bala Country Club through the hard work and efforts of Roy Stander, Scott Farbstein, Jay Gorodetzer, Gene Levick and Gary Kerstein. Thanks go to David Maltz for arranging the reservation and accommodations. Our golfers had a blast and many prizes were awarded.
Cantor Eliot Vogel charmed us with a brilliant and inspiring evening of song and story on Sunday night, June 12, 2011. This year's Patron's Event celebrated our Hazzan's 20th anniversary with Har Zion Temple. Accompanied by soprano Elizabeth Weigle and pianist Harold Evans, and for one emotional duet, his daughter Davida, Cantor showed himself as the true artist and devoted spiritual leader that he is. At the end, he was presented with a token of appreciation, a signed and number print, Halleluyah by Mordechai Rosenstein. But in a surprise moment, his equally awestruck wife Karen, came forward to share some personal notes of love and admiration.
