Welcome to the Free Synagogue of Flushing. Founded in 1917, the Free Synagogue of Flushing stands proudly in the nest of one of the most diverse ethnic neighborhoods in the country. As the oldest Reform Synagogue in Queens, NY, it came into existence through the efforts of the Hebrew Woman’s Aid Society of Flushing. The “Free Synagogue” movement is based on four principles: freedom of the pulpit for the rabbi; freedom of the pew- no reserved seating in the sanctuary; direct, full participation of the community; and dedication to the ideals of liberal democracy, commitment to the Jewish faith, to Zionism and the State of Israel. Our founders’ belief in commitment, freedom and equality of the sexes remaining guiding principals today.
