Woodbury Jewish Center represents the best of contemporary conservative
Judaism. Our congregation is united by an egalitarian spirit, with
men and women participating together in every aspect of ritual observance
and the celebration of our common heritage. Our children learn together,
and young women and young men have the same opportunity to participate
in the service at which they are called to the Torah to mark their
attainment as Bat or Bar Mitzvah.
While the individuality of our faith is important
to each of us, we share a common focus on the values inherent in
our rituals. Most importantly, we celebrate Jewish life in a way
that brings each of us and our families all closer together. I am
so delighted to say that the Woodbury Jewish Center is a place where
friends and family share in the observance and joy of holidays,
special events, social occasions, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, births
and weddings and also comfort each other at times of personal tragedy.
The Woodbury Jewish Center is the newest synagogue
to be built in Nassau County in a generation. As a conservative
congregation affiliated with the United Synagogue of America, we
are seeking to become a leading Jewish institution on Long Island.
Our synagogue is a continuing statement by forward thinking people,
deeply committed to Jewish identity and values, that every generation
must add to the legacy of the generation that preceded it.
A wonderfully inspirational synagogue has blossomed
among the many families and individuals who have joined the Woodbury
Jewish Center since its inception. The legacy that we have created
for our children is a loving, much respected synagogue filled with
values and traditions and a warm, bright sanctuary for the full
expression of our Jewish soul.
