A Home for the Jewish Journey
I’m grateful to serve as the Rosh Kehilla (Spiritual Leader) and co-founder of The Downtown Minyan.
This role is a direct expression of my commitment to making traditional Judaism relevant, accessible, and meaningful in today's complex world particularly for a new generation of Jews seeking connection and purpose.
Designed to meet the needs and aspirations of young Jews surrounded by the fast pace and vibrancy of Lower Manhattan, The Downtown Minyan strives to create a space where Judaism can be:
Lived authentically in the modern world
A wellspring of community

We've built a community that's
We dive deep into texts and ideas, finding relevance in age-old wisdom.
Intellectually engaging
No matter your background or practice, you have a place here.
Radically welcoming
Offering experiences that nourish the soul in the midst of busy urban life.
Spiritually uplifting
Our Judaism doesn't exist in a vacuum—it's a lens through which we engage with the world.
Outward looking
A purpose-driven Jewish community
Whether you're seeking deeper understanding, stronger connections, or a way to navigate today's complex world through a Jewish lens, I invite you to explore The Downtown Minyan.
