Soho Synagogue
Former Orthodox synagogue in Manhattan, New York
- Rabbi Dovi Scheiner
- Esty Scheiner
Soho Synagogue was an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 43 Crosby Street, in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States.[1][2]
The congregation was founded in 2005 by Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Dovi Scheiner and his wife Esty.[3][4][5]
On September 15, 2009, the SoHo Synagogue signed a 7-year lease for the ground floor of 43 Crosby Street, located between Spring and Broome Streets. Previously a Gucci retail outlet, designer Dror Benshetrit transformed the space into an oppulant synagogue to cater for the growing "hipster" Jewish community.[6][7][8]
By 2015, the congregation that did not charge a membership fee was losing money. An online spin off of the physical synagogue, called Synago, was established in 2015,[9] yet ultimately failed. In late 2015, Scheiner was trying to establish a similar synagogue in Los Angeles.[10]
