Young Israel of Canarsie

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. Committed to Torah-true Judaism, Americanism, and Zionism, the Council addresses crucial issues facing the Jewish community in North America and Israel, while fostering spiritual, cultural, social, and communal activities to perpetuate the values of Judaism.

The organization promotes cooperation among its constituent branches, acting as a federated and central body for the Young Israel Movement, with the aim of solving individual and common problems more effectively. Through its various services, such as advocacy, rabbinic training, lay leadership support, and youth programs, the National Council of Young Israel plays a significant role in strengthening Jewish identity and fostering a deep understanding and appreciation of Jewish values among American Jewish youth.
