Welcome to The International Synagogue

Serving as a beacon for Jewish travelers from around the globe, our synagogue offers a wide range of services to meet the spiritual and personal needs of those in transit.

For over 50 years, The International Synagogue — also known as The Rabbi Alvin and Rosalind Poplackz"l Memorial Chapel — has been dedicated to supporting the Jewish community with essential religious services, including prayer, rabbinic counseling, and mourner services. Whether you are looking for a moment of peace before your journey or seeking guidance during your travels, our doors are always open to welcome you.

Our mission is to ease the burden of travel by providing a comforting and supportive environment within JFK's international terminal. Additionally, we extend our services online, ensuring that Jewish travelers have access to valuable resources no matter where they are in the world.

The International Synagogue has also played a significant role in community support, serving as a staging area for sending off Israeli soldiers returning home to defend their country. With the help of dedicated volunteers, we have packed and shipped essential supplies, including food, toiletries, and more, to support those on the front lines.
