Participating congregations: Congregation Beth Israel, B'nai Israel Freeport, B'nai Sholom- Beth David, Malverne Jewish Center, South Baldwin Jewish Center and Jewish Community Center of West Hempstead-Franklin Square Jewish Center.
The combined Rabbis, Cantors and Congregations of Southern Nassau will come together to prepare spiritually and emotionally for the High Holy Days. You are invited with your entire family and neighbors to this special evening of prayer, educations and community.
Following World War II, Paul was recruited to be a volunteer for Israel helping to bring Holocaust refugees to Israel both legally and illegally. A story you probably haven't heard before.
Selichot is a prelude to the High Holy Day season. It sets the mood for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as we move during the evening into penitential prayers and highlights of the most poignant sections of the High Holiday Liturgy.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur information to be added.

Our Synagogue
Enjoy the difference a warm, caring "haimish" synagogue makes. We are proud to be a multi-generational extended family for our members. Together we share life's joys and sorrows, finding comfort and reassurance in being part of a kehilla kedosha (sacred community).
Our Worship
Come celebrate Shabbat and holidays in spirited Conservative egalitarian prayer and song. You will find a refreshing attitude which favors broad congregational involvement in our services.
Our History
Our congregation was founded in the autumn of 1951 by 6 Franklin Square families, known as "The Patterson Avenue Six". The need was to meet the religious requirements of some 750 families, predominantly Jewish, who set up new homes in our area, once devoted to potato farming. We enrolled over 650 families as members (swelling to over 800) and set up a full program of Conservative religious services, including a Religious School. Our shul immediately became (and still is) the premier Conservative synagogue in the heart of western Nassau County and the focal point for religious, programming and community activities in the "Dogwood area" of Franklin Square-West Hempstead and beyond.
Today, our growing congregation joins together as a sacred community, in egalitarian prayer and song, in Sisterhood, Men's Club, Chavurah groups, educational programs, cultural and social activities and in the joyous celebration of life's events. |
