About Our Temple
We are an egalitarian Conservative synagogue, which has served Northern Hudson County for more than 80 years.
We strive to reflect and address the needs of the diverse, local Jewish community, evolving with the neighborhoods that we serve.
With services and a variety of activities throughout the year, we aim to offer ways for you to connect with your Jewish roots, regardless of your background, place of origin, or level of observance.
Please let us know if you have ideas for new activities, want to help us shape our future, or just want to find out more about us. Most importantly, we hope to see you throughout the year! [more]
