Art • Torah • Music

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.

Shabbat & Festivals

We love Shabbat: join us! Our t’filah gatherings are musical, participatory, and warm.
