The Roslyn Synagogue, a member of the Orthodox Union, is a friendly and welcoming synagogue in Roslyn Heights, Long Island. Jews of all levels of observance are welcome. The Roslyn Synagogue opened in 1976 and has been led since its inception by Rabbi Robert (Hillel) Block. 

The Roslyn Synagogue has a 10-square mile eruv that surrounds a major part of the Greater Roslyn area. Please click HERE for a detailed map.

We would love to see you and your children at any of our Shabbat programs or events!

It is with great sadness and reluctance that as of today The Roslyn Synagogue will be closed for all functions.

This includes tefilla b'tzibur, all shiurim and any other activities scheduled for the building. The board made this decision after careful consideration of all factors involved in closing the building.

This decision was made with careful consideration of the status of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health considerations, the health of our community and the response of multiple Orthodox Jewish institutions throughout Nassau County and the metropolitan area. Although we have not yet heard of a confirmed case in our community, we should make every effort to ensure that the first case does not arise in our community or that we inadvertently participate in the spread of the disease.

The building was cleaned yesterday and then disinfected with commercial strength disinfectant used by NYC. Yasher Korach to Yigal for his efforts to accomplish this.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to joining with all of you in Shul when this epidemic is over.

Marc Yunis
President of the Roslyn Synagogue

Kids enjoy Junior Congregation for its engaging programs. Parents value their kids learning Jewish prayers while developing an appreciation for coming to Sabbath prayer services.

Children between the ages of 7-13 are encouraged to attend Junior Congregation which occurs from 10:45-11:30 AM. During Junior Congregation children pray together while learning the words and more about the meaning of the prayers as well.  They also explore the Torah portion of the week in a fun and interactive way.

Every Junior Congregation ends with fun games!  Junior Congregation also hosts several fun and festive activities for the children celebrating the holidays.

TALMUD CLASS (GEMARA SHIUR)

Tuesday evenings (8:15 – 9:15 PM):

Open to all-beginners and seasoned students of Talmud. The session involves mutual participation in understanding and analyzing the text. The discussions are always friendly, often lively and sometimes even heated.

We are currently studying the Tractate Sukkah, which discusses the various Mitzvot of the Sukkot festival, including the four species of the lulov, the proper construction of the sukkah and observance of the Mitzvah, as well as how the holiday was celebrated in Temple times.

TORAH DISCUSSION (CHUMASH CLASS)

Wednesday evenings (8:15-9:15 PM):

Discussion of upcoming week’s Torah portion. Both classical and modern commentators are employed. The discussions are lively, incisive and informative and are accessible to attendees regardless of prior knowledge of Tanach (Five books of the Torah).
