Join us on Shabbat
We meet on Shabbat Friday evenings and Saturday mornings at unique venues on the Upper East Side. Sign-up on the bottom of any page on this site to get on the list and receive information.
How long is your Shabbat morning service?
We daven from 9:30-11:30a, with lively and inspirational communal singing, Torah reading, and community members sharing Torah ideas. During mussaf, Rabbi Goldschmidt shares his weekly message. A kiddush luncheon is served afterwards, at 11:40a. This is then followed by mincha (afternoon prayer). In the winter months, we have a Torah class for women during mincha, and all other times of year there is a Torah class for all after mincha.
What about my kids?
We believe shul should be a family experience. Parents are welcome to bring their children into the services (and no, your baby won’t be shushed if she starts cooing). Simultaneously, we offer a drop-off babysitting program for children ages 2 and up, where the children are taught basic prayers, songs, and the weekly parsha; play games with prizes and snacks; and create Shabbat-friendly ‘food crafts’. It’s essential that parents have the chance to invest time into their own spiritual connection!
