L’Dor V’Dor… from generation to generation Sutton Place Synagogue was founded more than 100 years ago, in 1901, as Congregation Orach Chayim (later Beth Hamidrash Hachhagadol Talmud Torah), but our roots extend back even before the dawn of the 20th century. That’s when a small Jewish population in the eastern portion of Manhattan’s Midtown area – a neighborhood populated mainly by people of German and Irish ancestry – banded together as a community in order to perpetuate the Jewish life they had left behind in traveling to America. We’ve never been able to substantiate the rumor that the first quarters of the new synagogue they formed were in a loft above a pool hall, but suffice it to say that Sutton Place Synagogue has evolved from truly humble origins! A handful of locations and expansions later, all in the Sutton Place area, the new Sutton Place Synagogue was officially opened on September 3, 1975 at 225 East 51st Street. We originally drew from United Nations families but now attract active members from throughout the city and its suburbs. A common thread throughout our entire proud history is a sense of spiritual and cultural cohesiveness that has brought generations of New York’s Jewish population, regardless of background, together as a single, forward-looking community. It’s with that sense of pride and foresight that Sutton Place Synagogue continues to write its history, each and every day, with new generations of members building on the legacy of our previous generations.

The Greek philosopher, Socrates, famously said, "the unexamined life is not worth living." Taking this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas founded Socrates in the City to encourage busy professionals to attend forums and think actively about life’s bigger questions while enjoying a thought-provoking and fun evening among like-minded seekers. Past speakers have included luminaries such as Dr. Francis Collins, Sir John Polkinghorne, Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, N.T. Wright, Baroness Caroline Cox Os Guinness, Peter Kreeft, and George Weigel, all among other thoughtful writers, scientists, theologians, philosophers, political leaders, and historians. No question is too big—in fact, the bigger the better. These events are both serious and entertaining—because nowhere is it written that finding answers to life's biggest questions shouldn't be exciting and even fun.

As it currently stands, an African elephant is slaughtered every 15 minutes for its tusks, which are then carved into trinkets and chopsticks for markets abroad. At these rates, African elephants will be extinct in 10 years. Thankfully, people are recognizing the emergency and are mobilizing to act, including luminaries, lead philanthropists, and public figures such as Prince William. But we need you too. Today I ask you to please visit our website, missionelephant.org to learn more, and consider donating using this link.
