Title: Free Synagogue of Flushing

URL: http://freesynagogue.org/

Description: As the oldest liberal Reform synagogue in Queens and on Long Island, the Free Synagogue of Flushing has opened its doors on the corner of Kissena Boulevard and Sanford Avenue to the community for the past 95 years. Today, the New York State and the National Register of Historic Places recognize it. In 1917, the Hebrew Women's Aid Society founded the synagogue in keeping with the philosophy of the first Free Synagogue, the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in Manhattan. These principles include freedom of the pulpit, freedom in religious philosophy, freedom in terms of seating, and men and women are equal in participation and leadership.

URL: http://www.bhsbrooklyn.org/

Description: Brooklyn Heights Synagogue is a warm, inclusive, Jewishly diverse congregational community dedicated to lifelong learning and to caring for the world and each other. We value the diverse ways in which our members express their Jewish identities as we maintain an abiding respect for the traditions of the Jewish people. We have shared celebration, learning, service, and worship since our founding in 1960. Today we are a community of over 450 member units made up of families, couples, and singles who live not only in nearby Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods and DUMBO, but also in Lower Manhattan and other neighborhoods throughout the city.

Title: Temple Emanu-El (New York, N.Y.)

URL: http://www.emanuelnyc.org/

Description: Established in l845 at a gathering of 33 Jews from Germany, Temple Emanu-El held its first services in a second floor loft at the corner of Grand and Clinton streets on the Lower East Side. With more Jews coming from Germany to New York, and with the growing success of the community, the congregation moved progressively uptown — both physically and spiritually. By l868 — only 23 years after founding Temple Emanu-El — the congregants built an edifice at Fifth Avenue and East 43rd Street, which was at that time the largest synagogue structure in America. Temple Emanu-El already had gained the reputation of having the most prominent congregation of members in the country.
