About UsCongregation Agudas Israel strives not just to welcome, but to embrace all who come through our doors. We are connectors–to one another, to God, to Israel. CAI recognizes the humanity of all. We do not check your card at our door, but hope that you will find an inspiring kehillah (community). As a proud member of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, we believe in the authority of halacha (Jewish law), yet understand that Judaism has always changed and evolved. Everyone is equal in the eyes of both the Holy One and our community. CAI is a house of prayer, a house of gathering, and a house of study. In these three traditional forms we encompass all of our activities. Remember, gatherings can be a whole lot of fun! Our prayer is spirited. Our study inspires connection.

With a 130+ year history, we are committed to the city of Newburgh and its environs. Yet our age does not make us stodgy. Our new small sanctuary is modern, yet feels like home. The bright colors and beautiful mosaics connect us to our traditions, and help us welcome the next generation.
Whether you are a long time area resident or just visiting, we are happy to meet you. Rabbi Jacob Rosner looks forward to greeting you during services, classes and our many events. From lighting our giant Hanukah menorah, Shabbat and holiday dinners and parties, enjoying a minor league baseball game or a community trip to a kosher deli, we are happy to be together. Other activities include Walking Club, monthly Movie Club and Scholar In Your Residence Speaker Program via Zoom, and our annual Bark Mitzvah. We are missing you! Come visit soon.
