Young Israel of Jackson Heights

The National Council of Young Israel, established in 1912, is a prominent organization that serves the broader Jewish community. With over 25,000 member families and approximately 150 branch synagogues across the United States, Canada, and Israel, the Council takes a leading role in addressing important issues faced by the Jewish community in North America and Israel, while embracing Americanism and Zionism through the lens of Torah-true Judaism.

The organization aims to foster and maintain spiritual, cultural, social, and communal activities that promote traditional Torah-true Judaism and instill in American Jewish youth an understanding and appreciation of the ethical and spiritual values of Judaism, demonstrating its compatibility with good Americanism. The Council also promotes cooperation among its constituent branches, acts as a federated and central body for the Young Israel Movement, and provides various services and programs to support the community.
