Rabbi Barry Kenter
My late grandmother-in-law taught her children and grandchildren, “An apple is sweeter when shared.” How much truer is it of Congregation Habonim. One of the true gems of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Habonim represents the best of an intergenerational community, from newborns to some who have been with us since our founding in 1939. were born more than a century ago. Habonim relishes the intimacy of worship, enhanced opportunities for sharing significant life-cycle moments, a scrumptious Shabbat Kiddush luncheon each and every week. How sweet it is to see young children and older adults sharing warm moments of shared joy—the happiness of children being relished for who they are and might yet become. and the delight of their elders attuned to the sound of children’s voices in services and at Kiddush. Here is a community where clergy, staff, and children share the same physical space virtually every day. I invite you to stop in, visit, and share your stories with us. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I look forward to meeting you. Learn more about Rabbi Kenter here.
