B'nai Jeshurun is a nearly 200-year-old non-affiliated synagogue located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. We welcome all, no matter the path traveled.

BJ’s 2021-2022 membership season is underway. You can always count on BJ for spiritual guidance, leadership, engagement, and support as we navigate our new, multi-access presence. Join or renew today to select a preferred service to attend for the High Holy Days.
While our Sanctuary is open for Shabbat and holiday services, we welcome many who are praying with our community virtually. We continue to broadcast Shabbat services via our Livestream. Other services will be offered by Zoom meetings.
We are so delighted to welcome you back to our beloved Sanctuary for Shabbat services and Morning Minyan on Mondays and Thursdays, with seats available for vaccinated BJ members and non-members alike.
Borne out of this narrative is an ethical directive: to protect and care for the stranger, the parentless, and the widow, because the Israelites were once ostracized themselves. Indeed, so important is this biblical injunction to lend our hearts to those we don’t know—the outsider, the foreigner, the homeless—that it appears 36 times in the Torah, reminding and imploring us to do what is right.

With your help, B'nai Jeshurun is better equipped to pursue its vision of a transformative spiritual community and more just and peaceful world.
