Aryeh Rendel
Cantor
 |
Chazzan Aryeh Rendel joined the Queens Jewish Center
family in 1987 and continues to lead our services to this day. His
davening combines wonderful melodies with deep devotion to spiritually
lift the congregation during shabbos and holiday services. Our shul is
truly fortunate and perhaps unique in our area to have both rabbinic and
cantorial leaders. Please come join us one Friday night or shabbos or
holiday morning. Join in with the congregation as we sing with our
chazzan the L'chah Dodi Friday night or kedusha Shabbos morning. |

Jack Nussbaum
President
 |
Upon moving with his family to Queens in 1946, Jack
following in his family's tradition, began his personal involvement with
the Queens Jewish Center. His father, Harry M. Nussbaum Z.L., worked
tirelessly to ensure that the Queens Jewish Center, during its formative
years, would become the center of a vibrant Orthodox Jewish community.
Jack continues in that capacity today. While
still attending high school, Jack became active with the youth of the
congregation, leading various educational and social programs. For
approximately 25 years, he conducted the Shabbos morning Junior
Congregation service.
Jack's most recent synagogue activities included serving as Vice
President and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. While in the
leadership capacity of House Committee, he spearheaded the very
extensive Auditorium Renovation Program. Currently, Jack is the
synagogue's President and has received strong praise for his friendly
open persona and strong passion for getting things done. |
