First Hebrew was founded in 1896…back then, Jews lived near the synagogue, in downtown Peekskill. In the 1950's synagogue leaders built the synagogue/center of the future but maintained the original synagogue as well (sold in 2018 to the Islamic Center of Peekskill)
Our synagogue offers a great Pre-School, 'Lil Sprouts, which offers a warm, supportive education and experience with dedicated teachers. Adults come to learn about Judaism's teachings on the issues of the day. We have active and involved Men's Club and Sisterhood with a breakfast and programs offered each month. Our members are active in the community supporting the homeless shelter, daily Lunch Program for those in need, the local food pantry, and much more. There are many engaging social activities throughout the year. And informal learning is offered during services and at the Kiddush following our Shabbat service. Please stop in at First Hebrew and sample what we have to offer. We are friendly - and we offer so many ways in which you can celebrate being Jewish - in our community. We also welcome new ideas and suggestions for change as we look to grow in our next 100+ years!

✨ Wednesday Wisdom ✨
This week we’re reflecting on Asher Yatzar — the blessing traditionally recited after using the restroom. 🙏
At first glance, it might seem like an unusual prayer, but it’s one of the most profound expressions of gratitude in our tradition. Asher Yatzar thanks G-d for forming the human body “with wisdom,” creating its intricate openings and hollow spaces, and acknowledges that if even one of them failed to function properly, we could not stand before Him.
In other words: every time our bodies simply work, that’s a miracle worth pausing to notice. 🌿
The blessing concludes by praising G-d as Rofeh chol basar u’mafli la’asot — the Healer of all flesh who acts wondrously. What a beautiful reminder that good health is never something to take for granted, but a gift to be acknowledged daily.
This Wednesday, may we all find moments to pause and recognize the quiet miracles of being alive and well. 💙
