For generations, the Community Synagogue has been a hub for intellectual, religious and social activity. Founded in 1940, the synagogue originally served a bustling, immigrant population within New York’s Yiddish theater district.
Today, our modern orthodox congregation remains a resource for Jews from around the world and around the corner. We enthusiastically embrace the East Village’s diverse community, offering Jews of all backgrounds inspirational leadership, creative programming and religious services 365 days a year. The Sixth Street shul occupies a unique place in the East Village’s history.
