Be a Construction Worker for the Day

Phone: 212-838-5122, ext. 5009

Several times throughout the year, we ask congregants to join Central Synagogue’s team to build homes with Habitat for Humanity – New York City. Typically, the workday is from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. No construction experience is necessary. We also schedule “builds” in conjunction with Mitzvah Days. (See Mitzvah Days at Central Synagogue for contact information regarding these Habitat for Humanity events.)

Become a History Maker

Central Synagogue's history is being made every day. If you would like to help our Archives keep this history accessible for future generations, please join us in the Archives Office on Wednesday afternoons. Basic computer skills are necessary.

These can be brought to the Community House at any time. Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted.
