Description:

The Jewish Center of Coney Island created a social and cultural hub for the Jewish population in New York who wanted to celebrate their heritage. The programs run when this building was constructed were modeled after similar Christian associations of the time such as the YMCA. Thus, The Jewish Center of Coney Island was a place where there was a balance between religion, school, and community without secular boundaries.
