Community Synagogue of Tenafly and Englewood

Kesher’s mission is to create a spiritual and respectful place for prayer and textual religious study, to actively participate in communal affairs, to maximize each individual's engagement in Torah study and to transmit Jewish values to the next generation. Our community was founded by eight families who moved to the area in 2000 with a vision to create a tight knit community that was more than just a "shul." Their vision was to create a dynamic, vibrant neighborhood in which people care about each others’ well being, take joy in each other's smachot, and are a comfort to one another during difficult times. These families celebrated all those things in the modern world that complement an Orthodox community. 

In the years that have passed since, those eight families have seen their vision become reality. Now almost 300 families strong, we at Kesher are proud of our welcoming environment and growing community rooted in our mission. Our beautiful building is a meeting place for Tefila, chessed, and learning.
