Temple Am Echad is an open and affirming Reform congregation welcoming families, singles, persons with disabilities, Jews of all races, cultures, sexual orientations and gender expressions, as well as Jews-by-choice and interfaith families. It is our belief that the fabric of our Temple community will be enriched by your participation.

Led by Rabbi Sandra M. Bellush and Cantor Nancy Dubin, you will find a spiritual energy of song and celebration at our services that is totally unique and fulfilling. Our long-established Religious and Early Childhood Schools continue to serve our community as they have for decades.

Temple Am Echad is truly a home for everyone. A place for spirituality. A place for learning for people of all ages. A place for social action. A place to help others in need. A place for young people.

If you are a Reform Jew anywhere in southwestern Nassau County or southeastern Queens looking for a home, we are confident that once you experience what we have to offer, you will need to look no further.

Women of Am Echad took part in the community
initiative Better Together: A Day of Giving to provide
a helping hand to our neighbors in need.

TAE Online
We are delighted to be able to offer online holiday and Shabbat Services, Torah study, Tot Shabbat and classes from kindergarten through 7th grade. In recent weeks, we hosted a community-wide Passover observance and a lesson on the preparation of matzoh brei. We are determined to be socially present, while maintaining physical distance. Our membership, clergy and administration are actively involved.

Join us for Shabbat Services every Friday night, at 8:00 pm. Our Family Shabbat Service takes place on the first Friday of the month at 7:00 pm. If you are a Temple Am Echad member, you will receive a link for Zoom via our weekly email Blast. Services are open to the public. If you are not a member, please call the temple office at 516-593-4004, or email our executive director, Irene Drantch, to request a link to the service. We look forward to seeing you there!

We hope to be able to share the very special Temple Am Echad experience with everyone in person when it is safe to be together again.
