How religious groups are working to attract young New Yorkers

Once a month, a group of teens gathers at the home of Sutton Place Synagogue Rabbi Rachel Ain and her husband for a guest speaker series known as “Hebrew High at the Rabbis.” Past speakers at the gatherings have included a Lutheran minister who spoke about the importance of interfaith dialogue and a Wall Street Journal editor who talked about his Jewish faith and work. Ain and her husband, who is also a rabbi, co-lead conversations with attendees. The meetings are just one way the synagogue works to engage young congregants — an undertaking that can be challenging given students’ busy school and extracurricular schedules, Ain noted.
