Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun

Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun is an Orthodox synagogue, founded in 1872, and situated on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. As its essential foundation, KJ seeks to foster among its membership a love of God and an abiding commitment to halakhah and mitzvot. The synagogue also stands firmly for the proposition that it is a part of a larger community: a community not only of the Jewish People and the State of Israel, but also of our fellow New Yorkers, Americans, and humankind.
The Sept. 5 program will blend traditional chazzanut and nusach with contemporary Jewish and Israeli music, live musicians and communal song.
The collection of Torah essays and reflections explores Jewish life and responses to the challenges facing the Jewish community.
Prayer follows the recent stabbing attack outside a synagogue and calls for moral leadership, public responsibility and the safety of the Jewish community.
The film was followed by a panel discussion featuring its co-producer, Marlyne Mamiye, as well as individuals who played key roles in the historic effort.
KJ Beginners has welcomed spiritual seekers for more than 30 years. The new RHL Project honors that legacy.
