Weekly Sermon
Gender, Intermarriage, and Jewish Identity
Why are we more confident that a child born to an intermarried Jewish woman will identify Jewishly more readily than the child of an intermarried Jewish man? Drawing on the Biblical story of Dinah, Rabbi Cosgrove opens a conversation on the dynamics of gender, intermarriage, and Jewish identity.

Kol Nidrei 5782
Bikur Cholim
You have heard it before: “Park Avenue Synagogue is a beit tefillah (house of prayer), a beit midrash (house of learning), and a beit knesset (house of community).” You have heard, too, that the annual Kol Nidrei Appeal makes it possible for Park Avenue Synagogue to be those things. But what does it truly mean to be a house of prayer, a house of learning, and a house of community?
Over the next three months, we will explore how PAS lives its mission each and every day and how your support of the Kol Nidrei Appeal makes this possible.
