Kehilas Moreshes Yaakov Synagogue is the first Russian Orthodox Synagogue in the U.S. Ten years ago, a few Jewish families collaborated with Rabbi Abraham Binsky to open a service that has since grown to include more than 100 families from different parts of New York and countless other states in the U.S. Rabbi Binsky leads his organization with a belief in teaching Jewish traditions. Rebetsin Yahaved Binsky created the women's theater "Soul String", which has had great success with the American audiences whether they are religious or social, young or old. Members of the synagogue unite not only because of their Jewish heritage but because of their desire to share and participate in the Russian language, culture, and point-of-view.
