Welcome to The Shul Of New York

For over 25 years The Shul of New York, a liberal non-denominational synagogue, has fostered a community dedicated to a living, breathing, progressive Judaism. A place where spirituality is practiced, questions are welcomed, our prayers are sung, and the sacred is discovered together.

 

We welcome all as they are to our vibrant, spiritual, inclusive community committed to social justice, personal growth, and a joyful expression of Judaism. Visit us in person or virtually at one of our many services, events, and programs.

High Holy Days

Be uplifted by the music of the amazing Shul Band, experience the warmth, humor, erudition and empathy of the celebrants and the open arms of The Shul of New York, where all people – from Atheists to Zoroastrians -- are welcome. Whether you’ve been with us before or not, we hope you will turn to us this year.

We welcome the co-celebrants who will join Hazzan Adam Feder over these holidays; HUC seminarian Reb Ezra Hurvitz, unitarian seminarian Rebecca Bellingham, and Rabbi Dr. Aliza Erber, a holocaust survivor.

Tashlich | תַּשְׁלִיךְ

A Ritual For Casting Away

During Tashlich we stand at the edge of a body of water and symbolically cast off our misdeeds to face the year ahead with dignity, courage, and faith. Here are some ways to perform a meaningful ritual on your own or with a small group.

Our Jewish Holidays

What exactly are the Jewish holidays and their origins? Why are they celebrated and how? Our educational series provides programs and resources on several holidays, big and small, in the cycle of the Jewish calendar.

Shul Tree of Love

The Shul Tree of Love is the perfect way to memorialize or celebrate a loved one, special occasion, or life event.

The Shul community mourns the passing of our beloved Emeritus Rabbi Burt Siegel.

His memory is a blessing to all who knew him.

 

Please direct any donations in Rabbi Burt's memory here.

 

Thank you to Roger Sherman for this photograph of Rabbi Burt during Yom Kippur services on September 28, 2009.

We remember with admiration and pride the "coming out" sermon that Rabbi Burt gave on Rosh Hashanah 2024. You can watch the sermon by clicking here.
