Brotherhood Synagogue 28 Gramercy Park South, Manhattan, New York 10003

"My family and I have been members of Brotherhood Synagogue for 36 years-plus. Of the many synagogues I have experienced over the years, Brotherhood has by far been the warmest and most welcoming one. It has a wonderfully diverse congregation, a Rabbi who so ably adapts lessons from the Torah to everyday modern situations, a Cantor with a superb voice, all in a unique setting - a former Quaker meeting house built in 1859 that enjoys landmark status in the Gramercy Park neighborhood. My family and I have never lived in that neighborhood -- we live on the Upper East Side -- but we love coming down there for services, for programs, for celebratory events, you name it!"

"Brotherhood is like a home away from home. The Rabbi and Cantor are warm and friendly, the Exec Director is thoughtful and outgoing. Worshipping (or socializing) in a historic and beautiful building just enhances your experience. Stop by for a tour (reservations suggested due to heightened security) or come for services."

"Warm and welcoming congregation and lovely historic building. Been a member for years, my kids have grown up here. Come for an event or service and stay for the ‘family’."

"What a wonderful and warm synagogue. We have been members for over 16 years and have celebrated many events - Bris, Bar Mitzvahs - and, unfortunately, death and have found the Rabbi and Staff to be wonderful and compassionate. This is an amazing community with so much to offer people of every age."

"A wonderful and welcoming community! Our home away from home. Our kids have thrived at the nursery and Hebrew schools (annual Hebrew school play is not to be missed)!"
