About the West Side Minyan

The West Side Minyan has conducted open, warm, friendly, egalitarian, traditional Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur Services on the Upper West Side for 40 years. Our beautiful Havurah-style services, for singles and families of all ages, are led by knowledgeable members of our own community. Services are conducted in a mixture of Hebrew and English.

We are the oldest independent minyan (worship group) at Ansche Chesed. We are an egalitarian, participatory, member-led, Conservative-style fellowship Havurah known for our inclusiveness and for our lively thought-provoking Torah discussions; our  members participate actively  in the Ansche Chesed community. During the year, we hold services  on the second Shabbat of every month at 10:00 AM on the sixth floor of Anshe Chesed. 

This is also an excellent time to join or renew your membership in the West Side Minyan:  we do have expenses and  depend upon membership fees and contributions from supporters to meet our budget – every dollar counts.   We appreciate receiving your check (saves us credit card fees) but you can also pay online on our website, www.westsideminyan.org.  In addition, we encourage each of you to become members of Anshe Chesed as WSM is an integral part of the AC community.   Note that membership fees for both WSM and  AC are "suggested"; if your income does not support paying the full fee, please pay an amount that you deem feasible and  respectable. We welcome you to join us even if you are unable to contribute financially as your presence and your active participation are important to us.
