Being separated from our building - and from one another - has been painful, but we are confident that in doing so, we successfully protected our community and demonstrated that we value life above all. 

 

This Shabbat we will again hold a 9:00 AM Minyan. As New York City is now in Phase 4 of re-opening, we have re-opened for Shabbat mornings (9:00 AM) with masks required and social-distance preserved. Attendance is monitored and limited, and congregants are seated throughout the entire main sanctuary in individually marked seats. The social hall is closed. Services are shortened and Kiddush offered to-go. Hand sanitizer is available. Please review our social distancing protocols and expectations here.

 

Kiddush-To-Go has been sponsored by Dana Friedman in honor of the relaunch of the variety show FunOrthodox.

 

Please consider joining our Pre-Shabbat Lechaim at 6:00 PM on Friday. Click here.

Membership


With a new fiscal year having begun on June 1st, it is once again time for us to encourage membership, asking you to formalize and renew your annual commitments to our synagogue.

We continue to make essential repairs and aesthetic improvements to our 174 year old building. Membership dues go a long way in making all of this possible. Won’t you please share in our great legacy and help us continue our impressive revitalization? There are, of course, various membership options and we hope that one works for you.
