Testimonials
What do our members have to say about their Sutton Place Synagogue experience? Hear from a few of them here.
“We raised our family on Long Island, and when we moved to the city we wanted to build a new social life with other ‘empty nesters’. We considered a lot of synagogues but people went out of their way to make us feel welcomed at Sutton Place Synagogue. Even our children joined, and our grandchildren are in the nursery school.” – Randi and Arthur Cannata
“We didn’t feel our previous synagogue was the right fit for our family. We visited synagogues all around Manhattan. No other synagogue treated us like Sutton Place Synagogue. It was by far the most child-friendly synagogue we visited, and the congregants and clergy were incredibly warm and friendly. Sutton Place Synagogue is a jewel.” – Alexis Azria
“The size of Sutton Place Synagogue feels just right. It’s a close community within a large city.” – Anita Kaminer
"Sutton Place Synagogue plays a big role in our family's life. Our young children have met their best friends here and become excited about studying Judaism. As adults, we value the close-knit community, the friends we've made here and the accessibility of the Rabbi and the entire staff." – The Mann Family
“Our family recently joined Sutton Place Synagogue, and we find the sermons provocative and character-building. And we also value how the ushers warmly greet everyone before services.” – The Siegel Family
“People should know that the religious school teachers are great. While some people may think of religious school as dull, Sutton Place Synagogue squeezes every last drop of fun possible into it.” – David Mandlebaum, Jackson Religious School student
