We are a ritually traditional, socially progressive and intellectually vibrant Conservative synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. An active, engaged center of Jewish life, the Ansche Chesed community is made up of people both passionate about Torah and tradition and dedicated to building the world through deeds of kindness. Diversity enriches us and we welcome everyone, young and old, individuals and families, traditionalists and seekers, LGBTQ and straight, those married to Jews and the intermarried.

Our community is filled with learning, prayer, celebration and social action. Stop by any morning to participate in our daily minyan. Visit any weekday and see children learning about Torah and Jewish life. Drop in any evening to learn from Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky and others in one of our many classes. Join our chorus, led by Hazzan Natasha Hirschhorn. Celebrate Shabbat and the holidays with us. Help us comfort mourners, visit the sick, collect food for the hungry and care for the homeless at our men’s shelter, which operates 365 days a year.
