Security Update: We want to reassure you that we are doing everything possible to keep our community members safe. We have increased our security detail, and we have been reassured by the precinct that police will be regularly patrolling our block, in addition to the heavy police presence around the neighborhood. As security will be checking everyone upon entry, we ask you to be patient and cooperative. Plan to arrive earlier than usual to accommodate for any delays. Please avoid bringing any bags to the synagogue. All personal possessions will be checked; pepper spray will be confiscated upon entry, and will be returned to you when you leave. As a general practice, please do not congregate outside the building, as this can be a hinderance to security.

Unlock the Joy of Shabbat! Before diving into the study of Hilchot Shabbat, many people feel overwhelmed by the perception that everything is off-limits. However, a closer look reveals a world of permitted activities that can enrich your Shabbat experience. Join our new shabbat afternoon weekly series, where we will learn the Halachot of Shabbat together from inside the sources to demystify the laws and discover the true essence of this holy day. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding and newfound appreciation for the do's, not just the don'ts, that make Shabbat truly special. Come see how amazing your Shabbat can be!
