Despite the official name, this shul is Orthodox and a member of National Council of Young Israel, although members of all levels of observance and affiliations are welcome. The shul is friendly, welcoming, and heimishe, a warm place for all to come, worship, and enjoy a delightful kiddush luncheon after services. I encourage all in the area to come and pay us a visit. Your week will be greatly enhanced by the opportunity to come and pray with others on shabbat, the day of rest. We are available for all life-cycle events, including funerals, unveilings, conversions. weddings, and baby namings (for girls), and we can help arrange a kosher bris for boys. Welcome to your Jewish home in Co-op City.

The music was amazing--including a grand piano and a banjo!--and the congregation participated fully and, it seemed, joyfully. The rabbi was very welcoming and made me feel at home. A high point: the Torah reading was particularly misogynistic, as old religious texts can be, and the reader pointed this out, to acclaim and laughter from the congregation. I will return soon.

There are several other better Jewish schools, such as JCC. Do not send your child to Beth El. They harass you when you pull your child out and the activities are unbelievably boring for the kids.

Granted you may have to take out a second mortgage on your home to get close high holiday seats...but well worth it. Make sure you visit the Wiener Lounge when you're there. Rabbi Sirner is like the Sandy Koufax of rabbis...no joke. Sure, he may confuse me for my brother when I see him, but since I only see him, maybe, once a year...I forgive him. In all seriousness, he is a real mensch...and a rabbi's rabbi. I have many warm memories of sitting with my family, as a child, listening to Cantor Avery and Rabbi Sirner lead the congregation. As a former CIT, I can also highly recommend the day camp.
