IMPORTANT UPDATE, 4/28/2020
Over the last several weeks, we have all tried to keep pace with the rapidly changing conditions related to COVID-19. The FTJC Officers and Rabbi Guy Austrian have given a great deal of thought to how we might respond, with the goals of preserving the health of our congregation, protecting our community’s most vulnerable members, being conscious of an overburdened medical community, and assuring that we are present to support one another.
Shabbat services and other in-person events continue to be SUSPENDED. The Shavuot holiday in late May will be celebrated online and at home. We will continue to revisit this decision on an ongoing basis according to guidance from medical and public health authorities.
These difficult decisions are made with deep respect for our community and our neighbors, and the need to stay healthy, save lives, and support our overburdened medical professionals. Our relationships are our greatest strength, and there is much we can do to stay present for one another and to remain in community during the coming weeks.
Our community continues to gather and support one another virtually. Our daily and weekly online gatherings are listed on our calendar.

An independent traditional egalitarian community in Northern Manhattan
As an independent congregation that has long been an anchor of the Jewish community in Washington Heights and Inwood, we have thrived by evolving with our neighborhood and our membership. Today, the congregation is a diverse mix of families and individuals from many backgrounds. Our egalitarian services and our traditional ritual — spiritual, tuneful and participatory — attract people of all levels of observance.
