A creative kehilah (Jewish community) in Astoria, Queens.

Ashreynu is a creative Jewish community in Astoria, deepening Jewish life through art, music, Torah, experiential learning, and Jewish joy.

We invite you to join a lively Shabbat morning t’filah, dive into a new community project, and explore our upcoming learning programs and events.

Combining the best of a shul (synagogue), a kehila (community), and an innovative arts & culture studio, we’re building a home for a full Jewish life here in Astoria, Queens.

This year, Ashreynu moved into a new space. As part of this exciting transition, we’re updating our website to better reflect who we are, our community, and our Jewish values and purpose. Please feel free to share any user feedback with us at info [at] ashreynu [dot] org.
