About Central Synagogue

Central Synagogue is the home of a Reform Jewish congregation, at 652 Lexington Avenue on the corner of 55th Street, in Midtown Manhattan. Shaar Hashomayim and Ahawath Chesed, two synagogues dating from the 19th century, merged in 1898 to form the present congregation. German Jews founded Shaar Hashomayim in 1839, and Bohemian Jews founded Ahawath Chesed in 1846, each first meeting at various locations on the Lower East Side. The building went up between 1870 and 1872 as the fifth home of Ahawath Chesed.

Henry Fernbach designed it in Moorish Revival style. It is both a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark. Its facade is brownstone with light-stone trim, with a geometric rose window and stained glass, and octagonal towers cap the building. A vestibule leads to the sanctuary, which has two levels and is laid out much like a Gothic church; the basement holds several rooms. It was renovated several times, including in the 1880s and 1940s, and after a fire it was rebuilt extensively between 1998 and 2001.

The name Ahawath Chesed meant Love of Mercy in Hebrew, and Shaar Hashomayim meant Gates of Heaven. Both congregations first held services in German but had become largely English-speaking by the time of their merger. The combined congregation became known as Central by 1918. The synagogue's religious school meets in a community house on the other side of 55th Street.
