GALA Celebration & Fundraiser
Sunday, June 8, 2025 | 5:00PM
Enjoy a festive spring Gala with dinner, live music, and dancing to celebrate
Rabbi Carter’s 25 remarkable years of service, our beautiful landmark synagogue, and the stalwart early PSJCers who helped sustain the shul over the years. The party will take place inside the building -- and also in our beautifully renovated yard!
When you are asked, please contribute generously to keep our PSJC community growing and thriving for the next 100 years. We are all responsible for this place and for each other.
Havdalah, History & Highballs, Oh My!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2025 | 7:30PM | At PSJC, 1320 Eighth Avenue
What’s the Big Idea? To kick off our PSJC 100 year history project, we’re celebrating with a musical Havdalah service, snacks, cocktails, PSJC history displays, a reading of Yiddish early 20th century meeting minutes, enlightening conversations with several OG shul leaders from the 1970s, 80s, & 90s, and more! Al Steinfeld-- early member and leader who helped create the shul as we know it today- will headline. You won’t want to miss it!

“Simcha Line” Please bring in kippot from simchas that you’ve celebrated at PSJC through the years and we'll hang them on a “Simcha Line” for all to see!
L’Dor V’Dor- For Future Generations! That evening you’ll be abledocument your own PSJC reminiscences in communal journals andtablets for future generations to enjoy. You will be given a name tag to color-code by decade when you first arrived at PSJC. You're invited to electronically submit written answers to the same questions posed to the OGs, as well as video answers, and PSJC photos. These will be shared on our website and social media, and potentially used in the Gala video and e-journal too.
See you on March 22nd! Register here
Cantor Judy Ribnick's D'Var Torah
Saturday, February 8th, 2025
In case you missed it — or want to enjoy it again — Watch Judy Ribnick’s stirring musical D’Var Torah from Shabbat Shirah, February 8th.
Judy gave us a taste of our beautiful liturgical music that has endured over the centuries. Good to know that we still sing these lush melodies as our predecessors did 100 years ago in this same stunning sanctuary. And we hope to do so for many years to come. Yashar Koach to Judy for uplifting us every time she lifts her voice in song! Enjoy!
