About Us

Welcome to the Web site of The Young Israel of New Hyde Park. Located on the Queens/Nassau border we offer the best of suburban and city life, in a heimisha atmosphere. A vibrant membership of all generations contributes to the feeling of family for new arrivals and visitors alike. It's a shul where everybody knows your name. Being an Orthodox Shul in northeast Queens, YINHP plays a central role in increasing the presence and awareness of Orthodoxy in our community. Our Mikveh, currently under construction, is our largest undertaking towards this goal and will be opening in the spring of 2011.

For more than half a century, the Young Israel of New Hyde Park has provided, and continues to provide, members and visitors with many of the things that an Orthodox family looks for and needs - daily minyanim, classes, and a newly renovated sanctuary that has received rave reviews from members and visitors alike.

We are most proud of our local school, Yeshiva Har Torah which is an outstanding modern orthodox day school with a new state-of-the-art facility, serving pre-K through 8th grade. Busing to all of the familiar yeshiva high schools is available as well.

The saying goes "location, location, location" and frankly you can't beat ours. The area features one fare bus and subway access and/or, express bus service to Manhattan, is a short hop to the LIRR and if you travel by car, is literally seconds away from the Northern State, Grand Central and Cross Island Parkways as well as the Long Island Expressway.

Shopping is a pleasure as within a couple of mile radius you have your pick of three major supermarkets, all of which feature a wide range of kosher products. For a more specialized kosher shopping experience we are moments away from Mazurs Glatt Kosher Butcher and Marketplace. Tired from all that shopping? Stop off for a bite at our local kosher pizza place, Benjy's, a delicious oasis right in the heart of our community.

Originally under the leadership of Rabbi Meir Bilitzky and now under Rabbi Lawrence Teitelman, our name is known far and wide. Come join us for a Shabbat and experience our community first hand.
