Shalom Synagogue Village (55+)

We now have a Facebook Group and Instagram page – Click here to join & Stay up to date with events and announcements

For your Mind, your Body and your Spirit

A new initiative offering programming to members of four neighborhood synagogues (The Community Synagogue, Port Jewish Center, Temple Beth Israel, and the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore) ages 55 and above.

We are hoping these programs give you fun and exciting new ways to connect to your synagogue community. The Shalom Synagogue Village also provides the opportunity to meet and foster new relationships with members of other local synagogues, further deepening your connection to the synagogue community and the greater Port Washington area.

New programs are being added regularly.  Please check with us.

Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani, a collection on nine short, interconnected stories set in the mythical town of Almost, Maine, on a cold winter night under the Northern Lights. The play explores themes of love, loss, and connection through a series of whimsical and magical vignettes, where residents experience the life-altering power of the human heart.

Meet other Synagogue Village members at a night out at the theatre right here in Port Washington!
