The House Where We Worship...

Sanctuary
The sanctuary is designed along classic New England lines, providing a congenial atmosphere for worship and meditation. Three beautiful stained glass windows depict the pilgrim festivals of Pesach, Shavout and Sukkot. Individual listening devices for hearing enhancement, as well as large print prayer books, are available.

Social Hall And Other Facilities
The main floor also includes the Rabbi’s study, offices, classrooms and our library.  The lower level of the building houses a social hall bursting with activity from rummage sales to Oneg Shabbats, a busy kitchen and a multi-purpose wing filled with classes for children and adults, as well as meetings and our informal services. An elevator provides access to the lower floor.

Cemetery
The Congregation maintains a cemetery in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Burial rights are granted only to members of Vassar Temple.

The Library
The Nathan Reifler Memorial Library houses the only Jewish circulating library in theMid-Hudson Valley with selections including classic and current Jewish fiction,  biography, philosophy, traditions, and history as well as a special children's section. The library collection also features recordings, audio and video tapes, CDs, DVDs and filmstrips on a wide variety of Jewish subjects.
