Conservative Synagogue Revived as Chabad Shul

FOREST HILLS, NY [CHI] — Chabad of the Gardens- Forest Hills, NY, is proud to announce that as of Friday Evening, March 28th 2008, the “Kew Gardens Anshe Sholom Jewish Center” has adapted a new identity and is now: Anshe Sholom Chabad. Located at: 82-52 Abingdon Road Kew Gardens, NY 11415-1339, The corner of Abingdon Road and 83rd Avenue.

Until recently “KGASJC” comprised of the only non-Orthodox/ Conservative congregation in Kew Gardens, affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, but with the decline in membership as well as additional burdens which took it’s toll, it could therefore no longer support a viable community on their own.

As of noon of February 3, 2008, the congregational constitution was changed so that KGASJC is now an Orthodox congregation. Chabad of the Gardens will now begin to run all programs on these premises, including all prayer services. The institutional name has changed as noted, the clergy has been replaced, and the services will be modified accordingly. With all the changes afoot it is important to stress that they have not closed their doors. They, as we, would like our synagouge and Jewish Community Center to continue to serve as a comfortable home for all people in which to celebrate and explore all aspects of their Judaism – spiritually, intellectually and socially.

This partnership has already culled up the emotions and excitment of hundreds and even thousands of Jews who will benefit from this new endeavor.
