STAMFORD - The Best Kept Secret in Modern Orthodoxy...
The Stamford Jewish community has been in existence for more than one hundred years. There are two Orthodox Shuls located in Stamford - Congregation Agudath Sholom and the Young Israel of Stamford. Our Community boasts a Mikvah, an Eruv, a Chevra Kadisha, and a Daf Yomi Shiur. The local Jewish Community Center is active in programming for all ages, has a health club and the JCC Sara Walker Nursery School. Another nursery school, Gan Yeladim, as well as a summer camp, are run by Chabad Lubavitch of Fairfield County. Pre-K through 12th Grade Jewish Day School education is available at the Bi-Cultural Hebrew Academy, with Stamford also boasting Fairfield County's only Jewish High School - at Bi-Cultural. There is a Jewish Stamford Facebook page and many WhatsApp groups for different types of Jewish activities and associations around town. Stamford was one of a small group of communities that were selected to exhibit at the OU Emerging Communities Fair in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Check out our Kosher Indian restaurants, Navaratna and Six Thirteen, an OU Certified meat restaurant in the downtown. Greenwich & Delancey, an upscale delicatessen is located only a few minutes away, in neighboring Greenwich. The larger Jewish community numbers over 12,000 individuals, and is always welcoming of newcomers. We are a vibrant community with much to offer young and old alike. We are also a growing community striving to make all Jews feel connected through our thriving Jewish schools, synagogues, agencies, and organizations. These combine to enrich the community and offer so many different entry points to Jewish Stamford. The local Federation has a volunteer program to welcome you to the area as you settle in here. You will be able to find past editions of the local newspaper, the New Jewish Voice, to get a real flavor of our Jewish community. You’ll also be able to learn about all the educational, fitness, and social programs offered by the Stamford JCC, and the many support programs run by our Jewish Family Service. Plus, you’ll find out about the many opportunities for your children. See why more and more observant families are discovering the benefits of living in Stamford—and why Stamford has become the best kept secret in Modern Orthodoxy. Arrange for a Shabbat Visit!
