Congregation Beth Yeshurun Competitors

Founded in 1845 as the first Reform Jewish Congregation in New York City, Temple Emanu-El is among the largest Jewish Houses of Worship in the world. We continue to build upon the legacy of leadership and the timeless values of Jewish tradition as we strive toward a more just, ethical and compassionate world. Temple Emanu-El offers a robust religious school program for children of all ages, a first-rate nursery school, the Bernard Museum of Judaica, the Stettenheim Library, a range of community events through the Streicker Center, and more. In addition, our Tikkun Olam Committee and Philanthropic Fund support a wide range of humanitarian, educational, and cultural causes, as well as initiatives that advance Reform Judaism and strengthen our connection to Israel. We are a community of warmth and awareness where every individual matters. We embrace our diverse membership and offer all who comprise it a meaningful life grounded in Judaism. We commit our spiritual, intellectual, physical, and financial resources to strengthen our community today for a vital tomorrow.

Adath Israel’s mission and vision is to be a center for Jewish religious, educational, social action and cultural activities while maintaining a safe and welcoming environment. We endeavor to reinforce Jewish values, learning and living by providing strong educational programs for all ages. We seek to increase our congregational involvement and affiliation in order to provide stability and growth within the greater Jewish community. We are strong advocates for the State of Israel and we aim to serve as a model for the ideals and practices of Conservative Judaism. We celebrate the uniqueness of each of us and welcome diversity in our community. B'tzelem Elohim.
