About Us

A wonderful spirit is alive at The Community Synagogue. Here you will find warmth and joy, community and purpose. The Community Synagogue is Port Washington’s largest Reform congregation, yet it is a place of openness to all, where each person can connect, where comfort and caring matter. It is a place of strength and beauty, of spirituality and learning, of creative possibility, a place filled with God's spirit and human kindness.

Our diverse community welcomes Jews of all backgrounds including interfaith families, singles, seniors, couples, single-parent and same sex families and Jews-by-Choice. Within our warm and inviting surroundings, The Community Synagogue encourages meaningful participation and creates a special sense of belonging.

The Community Synagogue is a place with Torah at the center, where learning begins in our renowned Early Childhood Center and continues with a variety of programs for all ages, where prayer is meaningful, participatory and powerful, where people reach out to one another during times of celebration as well as sadness.

If Judaism matters to you, you will find something significant here. You will find relationships — connections to others who share your interests. You will find a commitment to excellence. You will find many paths of access to Jewish life.
