Welcome to Season 2 of our "Lost Synagogues" series. Last year, we traveled through our fair city's northern and southern extremes; now we're moving to more central locales.

Tour the neighborhoods of eastern Queens. We'll see many former synagogues and Jewish institutions. Many have become churches, but there are some exceptions. One location, now a NYC Public School, was the neighborhood synagogue of one our leaders in his pre-Bar Mitzvah days. If the school still has the same amenities that the synagogue provided to its members, there must be many happy students there! Our list of sites has been compiled from the book "The Lost Synagogues of the Bronx and Queens" by Ellen Levitt. Kosher lunch will be at the end of the tour, a short ride from our Cunningham Park start and finish locations. Bring snacks, drinks, money for lunch, an extra layer of clothing, a lock for your bike, and spare tube(s), pump and tools.

RSVP's and inquiries via e-mail are welcome, but please register via our website as well.
