Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun - Sephardic Minyan

Sephardic Minyan

The KJ Sephardic Minyan was established six years ago to serve the growing need for Sephardic services in the neighborhood. The minyan, known for its exceptional warmth, spirit, and inclusiveness, has grown significantly since then. We currently offer services on Shabbat, holidays, and weekday mornings. Members of KJ Sephardic also participate robustly in the broader KJ community programming.

We are pleased to have Chazan Benjamin Zalta lead the Minyan and inspire all who attend.

Contact SephardicMinyan@ckj.org for more information.
