Are events and activities in the complex oriented solely for public associated with “Progressive Judaism”?
Not at all. Cultural activities, hostel & guesthouse, and privately catered functions are open to the general public, i.e., secular, traditional, orthodox, and non-Jewish populations. We fully respect each individual’s religious or other beliefs and do not impose any values whatsoever. In fact, the majority of guests who frequent Mercaz Shimshon-Beit Shmuel are not necessarily affiliated with Progressive Judaism and come from a variety of backgrounds, including many Orthodox Jews.
