A Vibrant Conservative synagogue on the Upper West Side!

Congregation Habonim

"Habonim" means "the builders" in Hebrew, and Congregation Habonim is dedicated to building Jewish community together. We are a vibrant Conservative egalitarian synagogue, offering a haven of warmth and spiritual growth on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Habonim is where we “build” deep connections to Judaism, to each other and to the broader community - in our thriving Nursery and Religious Schools, in our memorable B’nai Mitzvah, in our exceptional family, teen and adult services and programming, and in our community outreach programs. It is where we “build” strong relationships among our congregants, who regularly learn together, cook and bake together, share a simcha or a story, check in on a sick friend, and comfort those facing challenges. And Habonim is where we “build” engaged and active members through meaningful volunteer opportunities and pathways to leadership.

Rodeph Sholom School

Rodeph Sholom School's Nursery through 8th Grade program cultivates curious, confident learners in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Our educational philosophy centers on knowing each child deeply—understanding their strengths and challenges to create personalized pathways for growth. Research from ACT demonstrates that academic achievement by 8th Grade has a larger impact on college and career readiness than high school performance—underscoring why our N-8 model matters. From Early Childhood through Middle School, we blend academic rigor with responsive teaching that meets students where they are. In our youngest years, we foster social-emotional development and executive function skills during the period most critical for brain development. Elementary students build mastery in core academics while developing the critical thinking abilities that prepare them for increasingly complex work ahead. Through Middle School, faculty collaborate closely to design differentiated instruction that challenges every child appropriately. Research-based pedagogies help students master problem-solving and effective communication across all subjects. What distinguishes Rodeph Sholom School is our commitment to the whole child. Strong social-emotional foundations enable academic risk-taking and intellectual growth. Students develop self-awareness, find their voice, and express insights through writing, discussion, creative work, and presentations to classmates, parents, and the broader community. Our mission extends beyond high test scores: we develop each student's love of learning and sense of responsibility to themselves and others. Through meaningful experiences—from buddy programs pairing older and younger students to extended studies across disciplines—children discover their capabilities while building lasting connections. At Rodeph Sholom School, today’s curious learners become tomorrow's purpose-driven leaders. Contact Admissions: admissions@rssnyc.org

CALLING ALL CAREGIVERS 
Our FREE YMCA Caring for Caregivers support group program is now entering its second year, and we are looking forward to seeing new and returning members in our meetings at the Long Island City YMCA and for other in-person and online events this year.
In our program, the focus is on the caregivers.
Caregivers often give up a lot in their own lives, while caring for others. Many caregivers feel strong emotions due to caregiving pressures. 
We support you to take care of yourself better AND get more assistance in your caregiving role from state, city, and community resources.
Then you can feel better about your caregiving, minimize burnout, and feel more fulfilled in your own life.
