Home

We are a vibrant, egalitarian, Conservative community in the heart of Brooklyn.

Since 1924, we have been a house of worship, a place for Judaic discovery and action, and a haven for learners, seekers, and questioners. Welcoming to all, we are host to a range of Jewish voices. Our community is made up of married and single people, with and without children, straight and LGBTQ, interfaith families, and other families who are exploring their Jewish path.

A Message from Rabbi Sam Levine


Welcome to East Midwood Jewish Center.

One of my central beliefs is that in these difficult and trying times the best thing we can do for ourselves and for one another is to be together, in community.

As Jews, as American Jews, as Brooklyn Jews, we share a common cultural language and heritage. When we come together, we create a safe space, whether in moments of joy and excitement or sadness and anxiety. Through prayer and study, we take our place in the ancient chain of tradition and debate that our ancestors passed down to us.

Through celebration and camaraderie, we derive strength in supporting and being supported.

At the same time, being in community with others means recognizing that there are many voices around the table. Together, by delving deeply into the issues that confront us, we can ask questions and question answers in the pursuit of truth and a deeper understanding of the matters of the day. EMJC is a home for seekers, and we welcome everybody.
