At Congregation L’Dor V’Dor singing and music are central to our expressions of Jewish life. Our Shabbat experience is elevated by music and song, and made holy by prayer and learning.
Our Religious School program is built on the philosophy of Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi, "Only learning that is enjoyed is learned well." 3rd-7th graders meet one afternoon per week for two hours.
At the Congregation L’Dor V’Dor Religious School, we believe that Jewish education is a lifelong endeavor. We offer classes for students from Kindergarten through the 10th Grade.
Our mission is to serve the needs of our members & to deepen their Jewish lives through learning and prayer, but also to fulfill the obligation to heal and repair our world.
Rabbi Moskowitz is at the center of Congregation L’Dor V’Dor and began his tenure here in the Fall of 1999. After his ordination from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (the Reform movement's seminary) in 1991, he served as the Assistant Director of the 92nd Street Y's Bronfman Center for Jewish Life, where he directed the Center's renowned outreach programs. Under his leadership the introduction to Judaism class, "Derekh Torah," gained national recognition.
Talya Smilowitz began her tenure at our congregation in June of 2009. It is her love and passion for singing and music, Yiddishkeit, building community, embracing her Jewish heritage and teaching that has drawn her to a career as a cantor. Talya has appeared in prestigious venues all over the world, including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, The Broadway Stage, Opera and Symphony Halls all over China, Cabaret venues, nightclubs and sang the National Anthem at Citifield for the New York Mets.
