Since its inauguration in March 2003, the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue has flourished into the vibrant communal hub envisioned by its benefactor. Situated on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 11 East 63rd Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenues, the synagogue serves as a spiritual sanctuary and a dynamic center for social, cultural, and educational engagement.
The synagogue offers a comprehensive schedule of religious services, including daily minyanim, Torah study sessions, liturgy classes, and Tehillim readings. These spiritual activities provide congregants with opportunities for worship, learning, and personal growth.
Beyond its religious offerings, the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue has established itself as a prominent venue for a diverse array of events. It has hosted conferences, lectures, parenting workshops, cooking classes, singles' gatherings, and children's programs, fostering a sense of community and cultural enrichment. This multifaceted approach caters to the varied interests of its members and the broader community.
Under the leadership of Rabbi Shlomo Farhi, a distinguished speaker and educator renowned for his engaging and personable style, the synagogue continues to thrive. Rabbi Farhi's background includes studies at esteemed yeshivot and rabbinical ordination from the Jerusalem Kollel of Rav Yitzchak Berkowitz. His guidance has been instrumental in enhancing the synagogue's role as a center for Torah, Chesed, and tradition.
