Historically, the Synagogue
has been the single most important force in the continuation of our people
and in the preservation of a glorious year old spiritual heritage from
the time of Abraham and Sarah.
The Rego Park Jewish Center is proud to
be part of this great legacy since it's founding in 1939. A traditional
Conservative Synagogue, and a member of the United Synagogues, the Center
understands as its primary purpose, the preservation and fostering of
the time-honored traditions and ceremonies of our people in a spirit of
authenticity, intelligence and warmth.
The religious leadership of the Center have an unusual blend of the old
and the new commitment to Halakhic Judaism and concern for issues of the
modern world,as well as warmth, sensitivity, and compassion. Jews of every
persuasion,regardless of their level of observance or religious background,
are encouraged to be part of this great legacy and to affiliate with us
and will be made to feel welcomed and part of our family.
