Welcome to the Free Synagogue...
We
appreciate your interest in Free Synagogue and hope the information
you find on this web site will encourage you to contact us in
person. In this “House of Prayer for all People,” there is a
tradition of warmth and welcome for anyone seeking closer ties with
Judaism.
From its earliest days Free Synagogue has been closely involved with
and active in the community. The Flushing Jewish Community Council,
which is very active today as well as other community groups and
food pantries had their origins in Free Synagogue.
Throughout the years the congregation’s rabbis have been consistent
in their messages from the Bimah (pulpit) in support of civil
rights, women’s equality and all the civic and social issues which
the Reform movement considers every person’s responsibility. The
Synagogue has hosted many public figures, which includes Mayor John
Lindsay, Mayor Ed Koch and Congressman Adam Clayton Powell.
There has been a special program for Martin Luther King Day from the
first day, and we have welcomed speakers and choirs from our
neighboring African-American churches and from the Asian community.
A large parking lot and close proximity to public transportation
make this center of Jewish culture easily accessible to all areas of
Queens and Manhattan.
