The Persian Hebrew Congregation
A Synagogue that feels like home
Jews from numerous countries and various origins pray together in our beautiful sanctuary, celebrate chagim together, study together, enjoy kiddushim together and are always excited to welcome newcomers to our congregation.
Three Tenets of Judaism
At the Persian Hebrew Congregation, our home away from home, the three tenets of Judaism, Torah, Avodah and Ge'Meelut Chasidim (Study, Worship and Acts of Kindness) are the values that we hope to live by.

[1] We eat in the Succah on Shemini Atzeret but we do not make the Bracha of “Leshev BaSuccah”. We do recite the Bracha of Shehechiyanu.
[2]Before Mussaf we say Tikun HaGeshem and we switch to Mashiv HaRuach in the Shemona Esrei.
[3] Most of the Yizkor Service may be said by the individual without a minyan, only the Kaddish would require a Minyan.
[5] We recite the Bracha of Shehechiyanu in Kiddush.
[6] P’ VeZot HaBeracha & Beginning of Bereshit
