Welcome to Congregation B’nai Jeshurun ~ The South Street Temple.
We are dedicated to social action in accordance with the Jewish tenet of tikkun olam, repairing the world.
We want you to know that, during this time of physical distancing, we are still here for you and we are re-imagining what it means to be – and to feel – connected to one another. Here is an update on what we are currently doing. This is a rapidly-evolving situation, so stay tuned for further updates and innovations.
