Roosevelt Island jewish congregation

​​​​

WELCOME TO THE ROOSEVELT ISLAND JEWISH CONGREGATION

Cantor Sarah Myerson, Spiritual Leader.  Nina Lublin, President.   

​

​We are a warm community, welcoming Jews (and loved ones) of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, and abilities.  We meet a few times each month to celebrate Shabbat and festivals through prayer and study, singing and meditating, eating and drinking. We have an incredible Hebrew School where each student learns at their own individual pace, and we craft each B’nei Mitzvah process to be personally meaningful.

​

UPCOMING EVENTS & SERVICES

Fridays at 7 pm in the Sanctuary / Small Studio in the Cultural Center.  Volunteers are always appreciated to host an Oneg in the Sanctuary or in their own homes or outdoors, weather permitting.  Please contact Nina if you would like to be a host.
