Became a member as a young adult, now a Sr. Citizen. All staff, Rabbis and members have been the very kindest and welcoming to the new member and to this Sr. Citizen over all these years. A wonderful and welcoming place to be a member. Just like a warm home.

A beautiful temple in the heart of NYC. Very close to the Central Park Zoo. Unfortunately it us not open unless services are being held as the doors were locked when I tried to get in on a weekday. The outside details are very intricate and beautiful.

Perhaps one of the most indescribably beautiful houses of worship in the entire world. If you ever get to go, even if you sit alone, one of two things will happen. You will either get closer to your inner self..........or closer to God. A human triumph of religious architecture.

This is the joint! It's the top mentioned synagogue in tv, in books, etc. Known historically for having many celebrity members such a Barbara Walters, Mike Bloomberg. The services are classic Reform Judaism and you will find that the services on Friday night tend to be short.
