Congregation Shir Chadash

History

In the summer of 1952, a group of Lakewood residents gathered informally to discuss the state of the local Jewish community. All agreed that it was time for an organization that could provide for the educational, religious, social and cultural needs of Lakewood Jewry. We are a fully egalitarian, open, and inclusive congregation dedicated to serving the worship needs of all segments of the area's Jewish community. People connect with God and Judaism in different ways, and our aim is to provide a welcoming home for all of them. As Jews, the things that bind us together are far more important - and far more enduring - than the things that distinguish us, and the goal of Congregation Shir Chadash is to create a community of Jews where our differences strengthen rather than divide us.
