The clergy are in…..! Our Rabbi and Cantor had a great time out and about this past Friday, sharing what makes our synagogue special and all that’s ahead for the High Holy Days. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello!

Hodesh Tov, everyone! Elul is here. As we enter this season of reflection, may we open our hearts wide - to possibility, to connection, to renewal, and to one another.

P’tach Libeinu: Open Our Hearts is our High Holy Day theme, both a prayer and an invitation for the season ahead.

Looking for a place to celebrate the High Holy Days? West End Synagogue is a welcoming and inclusive Reconstructionist synagogue on the Upper West Side!

At WES we celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with as much creativity and contemplation as we do with all our programming! The High Holy Days offer some of the most powerful moments of the year to reflect, learn, and grow together as a community.

Looking back at our early June retreat, we’re remembering the meaningful moments, great conversations, and laughter that made the weekend so special. Our time together was a reminder that becoming our best selves is a journey made richer through community. Save the date for our next WES Retreat, June 4-6, 2027!

We had the best time at last weekend's JFLL Family Havdalah & Trivia Night! We answered challenging questions (do you know which American Girl Doll book mentions a bar mitzvah?), combined silly phrases (our favorite Zootopia song is Try Everything Bagel), had a beautiful Havdalah service with Cantor Melissa, and kicked off the week of Shavuot in style with an ice cream buffet! There's never a dull moment with our JFLL families!

We’re back! Join us at West End Synagogue tomorrow night for a new episode of Rabbi Emily’s podcast “Jew Too? Tales of the Mixed Multitude” where we’ll hear the stories of 3 Jews who found their way from very different places to Reconstructionist Judaism and of course to WES. The produced episode will be released this summer!
