A year of visiting New York synagogues

Andrew Waxman’s project begins with a change in routine: after years at one New York synagogue, he spends a year attending different ones. The book combines journal and guide, organizing the experience around the congregations he encounters. Its subject is both personal exploration and the range of synagogue communities found within a single city. The New York setting makes the account relevant to the practical question of finding a congregation, while the journal element frames it as a record of one person’s visits.

Book overview

Andrew Waxman had been going to the same New York synagogue for years. But what if he went to a different one each week? And so, with his kids in college, he took his chances.

Part journal, part guide, My Year in New York Synagogues, chronicles the many different synagogues Waxman encountered. For those looking for a synagogue in New York, to make their home, this book may help.

For those curious about what is probably the greatest diversity of synagogues ever assembled in a concentrated single physical location, this will also be of great interest. For those tired of going to synagogue, they can simply pick up Waxman's book, and be transported to the action from their living room
