Block Center for
Jewish Exploration
& Education
It is with profound gratitude that we acknowledge our long time SPS congregant and benefactor Gilda Block, who bequeathed a portion of her estate to SPS for the creation of the Henry and Gilda Block Educational Fund out of which the Block Center for Jewish Exploration and Education was created. Rabbi Dave Levy is the Inaugural Director. As the Center will house SPS University and other programs that advance the mission and goals of SPS, Rabbi Dave will work to inspire, educate and engage new cohorts of people into the SPS community and to help transform SPS from a local synagogue into an institution at the core of the larger New York City area Jewish community.
Upcoming Programs:
