On October 7, we mark the third anniversary of the attacks in Israel and the yarzheit of the 1,200 Israelis killed that day. We honor their memory with love, dignity, hope, and a commitment to building a better future for Am Yisrael.

May their memories be a blessing. by @centralsynagogue

This year’s Sukkot at Central Synagogue was action-packed and full of love, joy, and celebration.

Our youngest members enjoyed a fall-favorite “Sukkot on the Farm” field trip, and our new downtown satellite enjoyed Sukkot and Shabbat services. 20s & 30s celebrated together at the “Sukkot Under the Stars” event and our new members got to know each other during Happy Hour in the Sukkah.

We are so grateful for how our community came together over the last few weeks for a meaningful and spiritual High Holy Day season. To learn more about Central’s worship schedule and events throughout the year, visit our website.

Over the weekend, Jews around the world celebrated Simchat Torah, the joyful holiday when we finish our annual cycle of reading the Torah and begin again.

At Central, Rabbis Lorge and Rifkin explained why each book of the Torah was their favorite before the community came together to share an aliyah and hear Cantors Mutlu and Pearsall chant the ending and beginning of the Torah without skipping a breath.

It was a beautiful community gathering. Thank you to all you celebrated with us! Chag Sameach from Central Synagogue. by @centralsynagogue

Last week, we experienced this unforgettable clergy moment under the Sukkah as our clergy came together to say the Birkat HaKohanim for Rabbi Rebecca Thau's installation.

Tonight, we celebrate Shabbat and mark the holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Join us at 6:00 pm ET in the Main Sanctuary or on livestream as we celebrate the joyful holiday in which we conclude our annual cycle of reading the Torah and start over at the beginning of Bereshit.

Tomorrow morning, join us at 9:30 am for our Yizkor service.

Despite what our previous sukkah video might suggest, this magnificent sukkah didn't just appear in a matter of seconds!

A huge thank you to the fantastic team at @fleursnyc for bringing it to life.

Here’s eight hours of building sped up to under two minutes, so you can see the whole process from start to finish.
