Everyone is welcome to join The Chai Center Jewish community regardless of one's level of observanc http://www.TheChaiCenter.com/

The Chai Center is one of New York's most popular centers for Jews of all backgrounds and affiliations who wish to learn more about their Jewish roots. Values
The values that lie at the heart of The Chai Center are embodied in Torah and Jewish tradition. These values are:
• The welcoming of every Jew
• Creating a sense of belonging
• Jewish learning
• Spiritual growth and practice

The Chai Center is based on the foundation of the Torah’s encompassing mitzvah “to love every Jew as one loves oneself” and the mandate to concretize that love with Acts of Kindness and Mitzvahs. It's our belief that every individual Jew has an indispensable contribution to the totality of the Jewish people. The Chai Center welcomes every Jew, regardless of background, level of observance or knowledge, age, or socio-economic circumstances. As a result, The Chai Center is a microcosm of Jews in America: people who observe all the Mitzvot and those who do not; those who can read the Torah or teach a class and those who are just learning to read the Hebrew alphabet. The Chai Center offers a wide variety of educational and spiritual opportunities where. Jewish values are brought to life in a joyous, non-judgmental atmosphere, unconditional acceptance and love of every Jew.
