New York's Central Synagogue, one of the nation's leading Reform congregations, traces its roots to 1839. Central today plays an important role in the civic and cultural life of New York, offering worship services, life-long education, and programs which help the greater community. The Sanctuary building, a National and New York City historic landmark, is the oldest Jewish house of worship in continuous use in the city, and a magnificent example of late 19th century American synagogue architecture. Following a devastating fire in August 1998, it has been restored to honor its historic character, while looking to the future.
Free tours of the Sanctuary are given each Wednesday at 12:45 pm. Reservations are not necessary. The Sanctuary is open as well on Tuesdays from 12 to 2 pm, and organ concerts take place periodically. Please be sure to call the Archives Office or check the website for latest information. http://www.centralsynagogue.org
