Town and Village is a really special place. Rabbi Sebert is absolutely fabulous; he's an incredible teacher and a generous soul. The leadership and community is warm and welcoming. This is a fabulous shul!
The Great!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... The community. Rabbi Sebert and Cantor Postman are so welcoming, and the community is so generous.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Fundraising- it's tough for everyone right now. But they manage money well and are an incredibly worthy cause to donate to.
Town and Village Synagogue is the only conservative synagogue south of 42nd street. Its down-to-earth membership is welcoming and, for those interested in getting involved in synagogue life, the opportunities are plentiful. A recent project, T&V Together, is striving to reach out to the membership to build connections beyond the core of active members. If you are interested in working to improve community and finding a spiritual home, Town and Village is a place for you.

- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... build the renovation it so desperately needs to house all its many programs and hire a much needed executive director

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... growing its membership
Since we moved to NYC we have not been able to truly feel connected and a sense of belonging to a synagogue. This High Holiday season at Town and Village Synagogue was definitely an exception. Very meaningful.

- My experience would have been better if... If I agreed to participate and help in services.
We joined T&V about 15 years ago after "trying out" 2 other synagogues for Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. We came in the morning and never left to visit one more shul. The warmth, caring and feeling of community were and continue to be so very strong.

This is a warm and spiritual shul. I started going because I needed a weekend activity for my two young toddlers during the cold weather months. Both of my children grew up there - and have a strong Jewish foundation. My husband truly enjoyed studying with Rabbi Sebert under the auspices of the Melton Workshop, and torah with Hugh Pollack. I regularly pop into the kitchen during Shabbat, roll up my sleeves and start cooking. When I was experiencing some profoundly troubling personal issues, during a Tzedakah (forgiveness workshop) Rabbi Sebert reassuringly, and sensibly affirmed what I felt from within. We have hosted and have been the recipients of holiday meals. Town and Village Syngagogue has been a wonderful anchor for our family.
