YP Leaders

Hey everyone, we want to welcome you to the Young Professionals group at Sutton Place Synagogue! Our YP group has a wide range of fun programming year round that provides opportunities to meet fellow young professionals, connect with Judaism, and explore NYC. Some of our personal favorites include the YP-specific High Holiday services and hamantaschen baking during Purim :) We look forward to meeting you at one of our upcoming events, and please let us know if you would like to get more involved!

YP Opportunities at SPS

Tying the Knot: Adding Neshama to your Nuptials.

A Workshop for Engaged or Newly Married Couples-Give your relationship the intentional start it deserves. Over five weeks in this supportive, small-group workshop, couples explore topics that matter most in building a strong, lasting partnership—roles and expectations, communication and conflict, intimacy, money, family, spirituality. Through guided conversations rooted in Jewish values and psychological best practices, you’ll strengthen your sense of self, deepen your connection, and develop tools to navigate challenges with confidence and compassion. Couples will also get one individual meeting with Dr. RBF. All couples are welcome, regardless of age, religious background, sexual orientation, gender, or prior marital experience.

Groups will be held at Sutton Place Synagogue, 7-8:30 pm on February 4, February 11, February 25, March 4, and March 11. Cost is $600 for the entire program ($500 for Sutton Place Synagogue Members). The group will be restricted to 8 couples, so register soon as space is limited. Facilitator: Rachel Barbanel-Fried, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist and Executive Leadership Coach specializing in helping couples prepare for marriage and enrich their partnerships.
