May I take my class from Hostos CC to visit your synagogue? I am teaching evening Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. The students have a research project and I have decided to do it about your Spanish Portuguese Sephardic culture.

Yes, if you call the office, you can purchase both portable and full sized siddurim. Unfortunately, both rabbis Angel are not working here any more. Rabbi Marc is Rabbi Emeritus, and is mostly retired, and Rabbi Hayyim is at another synagogue.
