Tizmoret performs 10-23-21
On October 23, 2021 GHC honored those children and families who had their Bar or Bat Mitvah from March 2020 - June 2021, which was the height of the pandemic. While they were deprived of the usual congregational celebration, to show how much GHC appreciated them working with us during this trying time, we celebrated with them by bringing in the a cappella group Tizmoret who joined in the service and then gave a mini-concert during the special Kiddush luncheon. To hear the final two prayers that Tizmoret sang, please click HERE.

GHC Celebrates its 75th year anniversary!
Established in 1947, GHC has come a long way from its inception to today. For those historians, our first building, (see below) had been a house situated on the estate of Richard R. Tyre. An article in the Herald Statemean, on January 30, 1947, reporting the first meeting of the Greenburgh Hebrew Center, also appears below.
