Welcome
The Conservative Synagogue of Fifth Avenue is a small, traditional,
egalitarian synagogue in the heart of New York’s Greenwich Village.
We offer Friday evening and Saturday morning services every week throughout
the year. We also have services on the Holidays and Festivals and at other
scheduled times. Our services employ a traditional Hebrew liturgy, a range
of beautiful and spirited melodies, broad congregational participation, and
learned and engaging divrei Torah.
In addition to our services, we offer Tot Shabbat and Family Programs for
children and their families, as well as Talmud and other Adult Education
classes on a variety of Jewish topics. In September 2008, we also began a Hebrew School, initially for children in Kindergarten and First
Grade.
We are especially proud of our clergy. Rabbi David Gaffney, a pulpit rabbi
of vast experience and learning, joined us in 2001, after a long and
distinguished career in Jacksonville, Florida. Hazzan Bat-Ami Moses, who
joined us in 2007 after receiving her investiture as a hazzan from the H.L.
Miller Cantorial School of the Jewish Theological Seminary, brings to our
community an inspiring style of davening.
Our community reflects, and celebrates, the rich diversity of our Greenwich
Village neighborhood: couples and singles, old and young, professionals and
blue-collar workers, professors and students, observant and secular,
knowledgeable and beginners, straight and gay. We welcome all.
See you soon!

MINYANNAIRES
On the first and third Sunday of each month we hold morning minyan services at 9:00 am., followed by a dairy brunch. On the first Sunday we also feature a discussion on a topic of interest to the Jewish community. This is an ideal time for those who have never put on tefillin to learn how—and for those who have forgotten how, to re-learn.
