We are a Reform congregation, founded in 1906, in our present beautiful location in residential Washington Heights, since 1973. After the Holocaust, German Jews found a new home at the Hebrew Tabernacle and today it is not unusual to find four generations of a family worshipping together for the High Holydays in our beautiful sanctuary.

In 2002, our neighbors at Beth Am, the People’s Temple, moved in with us as part of an ongoing consolidation process. We have added their service style to ours, enriching both our traditions in a common home.

Therefore, we now offer various service styles reflecting the diverse makeup of our congregation. A professional choir and organ accompany many services in the Classical Central European tradition. Beth Am’s traditions continue with piano-accompanied services that contain original music and lay-led components.

Two different types of services suitable for children are held monthly -- a Family Service one Friday a month and Junior Congregation one Saturday a month. In addition to services, we also have many other activities for families with children, including our growing Tot Shabbat community.

Through the years, the Hebrew Tabernacle has become a much honored and respected member of the Upper Washington Heights community. With a dedicated, committed congregation, continued strong leadership, and a long, proud record of achievements, it stands poised to continue for many years with confidence and determination.

And we would love you to join us! Please contact our office for membership information.
