We are actively growing our membership through designing and
developing innovative programs to supplement our traditional daily and
Shabbat/Chaggim services and learning.
For those who have never been here before, are here for the first time, or
have not been here for a while, let us tell you what is new or what we have
to offer..
Why New Haven?
Why Not?
We have it all:
Schools
High Schools
Shuls
Yeshivot
Kollel (20 miles away in Waterbury)
Bakeries
Butcher
Restaurants
Mikvahs
Large JCC
Vibrant Hillel at Yale University
Jewish neighborhoods
Affordably priced homes
Lots of jobs
And most important, a strong devotion to Ahavat Israel. You will be amazed
by the Kiruv and Chesed shown by members of Young Israel and members of the
other Orthodox shuls.
Anyone will be hard pressed to find a community that
interacts so well. Community events are run based not on turf related
issues, but rather what will enhance the entire community. We encourage you
to sample our version of Ahavat Israel, you will be bowled over.
