Everyone is invited including singles, couples, families of all ages. Turn an ordinary Friday night into something extraordinary. That's the magic of Shabbat Across America and Shabbat Across Canada.

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. |
