Park Slope Jewish Center
Your home for liberal, egalitarian Conservative Judaism ~A diverse, passionate, caring community
We are a multifaceted, thriving congregation in the heart of Brownstone Brooklyn under the leadership of Rabbi Carie Carter. We warmly encourage families and individuals of all ages, gender identities, races, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and interfaith couples to join us in finding opportunities to embrace Jewish life through multiple avenues, including spiritual, ritual, learning, life cycle milestones, social events, and social justice work.
PSJC affirms its solidarity with Medinat Israel and its people. We pray for the well-being of those defending it and those who have been taken hostage. We are committed to helping ensure a secure and peaceful future for Israel and its neighbors.

Oseh Shalom with Gili Getz
Thursday, May 22, 2025 | 7:00 PM | at PSJC and on Zoom
Join us for a powerful evening with Gili Getz as he shares his photography and personal journey in the aftermath of October 7th and the war in Gaza. Through the lens of peace-building activism, nonviolence, and the struggle for a more just world, Gili will take us through his experiences in both Israel-Palestine and the U.S.
Confronting the binary choices that emerged after October 7th, Gili searched for rare spaces that could hold fully both Israeli and Palestinian humanity and the models they provide for partnership, solidarity, co creation and vision for a future were we are all free and safe.
