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.
Many of our programs and services have moved to VirtuShul, our virtual shul—a living, connected, loving, virtual community. We have been moved by how Zoom has allowed so many to gather together for morning and evening minyan, for meetings, and programs.
Our unfolding vision for life after the pandemic imagines a dynamic mix of in-person and virtual prayer, learning, and programming that is accessible to all. As such, our staffing model is evolving to build and deliver this unique offering with excellence and care.
This year, we made some small but significant changes to our membership forms. We are expanding the language options for gender identity: evolving the choices to demonstrate respect and acceptance of members from our community, or who want to be part of this community, who are transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming, and creating the space for them to identify, and be seen, as they are.

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