Rav Shlomo Katz has served as Rav of the Shirat David community since 2016, leading the community with his shiurim, halachic guidance, inspiration, and counsel.

He received his rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Chaim Brovender and Rabbi Shlomo Riskin at the Joseph and Gwendolyn Straus Rabbinical Seminary.

Rav Shlomo is also a world-renowned musician who has released multiple albums and performed for audiences around the globe. His passion for music has, in turn, become part of the very identity of Shirat David, shaping the unique character of the tefillot and other events throughout the year.

Rav Shlomo lives in Efrat, with his wife Bina, five daughters, and son.

Shirat David is a thriving Torah community in Efrat, Israel. Our community is built on the belief that a Beit Kenesset is so much more than just a physical space or a daily minyan. It is a space that radiates Torah, Tefilla, and Chessed. It is a context for spiritual growth and for serving Hashem with passion and joy. It is a place through which you can be uplifted and inspired, supported and assisted.

Since the founding of our Beit Kenesset in 2011, we have seen this vision become a vibrant, flourishing reality.

Under the leadership of Rav Shlomo Katz, our community has developed into a 24/7 operation filled with daily minyanim, programming, and community outreach, and a global platform with classes, content, and seasonal events.

Our membership consists predominantly of olim who have come to Israel from the USA, UK, Canada, and South America. We are a bi-lingual community with drashot in Hebrew and other community programming in English.

Please feel free to come and visit. Or better yet – to make Shirat David your home as well.
