With over 15,000 affiliated Conservative Jews in our region, we are one of the largest regions in the Conservative Movement of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.

Location: To better serve your needs, our offices are located in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania and Edison, New Jersey. Congregational lay leaders, congregants, and synagogue professionals are all welcome to call, email, or write us for assistance, ideas, and support. Like most Jewish organizations, we operate normal business hours Monday through Thursday, and close early on Friday in anticipation of Shabbat (the Sabbath).
