Fifth Avenue Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue on East 62nd Street in Upper East Side, Manhattan, US
The Fifth Avenue Synagogue features a traditional Sephardic layout with the bimah and aron positioned centrally, facing rows of seats within the property.
Established in 1958, the congregation formed when members of Zichron Ephraim separated due to disagreements about mixed-gender seating during services.
The synagogue maintains daily minyanim three times a day and conducts regular Torah reading services, connecting members through traditional Jewish practices.
The synagogue includes the Rennert Mikvah facility and operates the Creative Playschool nursery, providing essential services to the Jewish community.
Architect Percival Goodman designed this building as one of fifty synagogues in his portfolio, interpreting Jewish traditions through modern architectural elements.
