Congregation Emanu-El of New York is the first Reform Jewish congregation in New York City. It has served as a flagship congregation in the Reform branch of Judaism since its founding in 1845. The congregation uses Temple Emanu-El of New York (built in 1928–1930), one of the largest synagogues in the world.

The congregation currently comprises about 2,500 families and has been led by Senior Rabbi Joshua M. Davidson since July 2013.[1] The congregation is located at 1 East 65th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The Temple houses the Bernard Museum of Judaica, the congregation's collection of more than 1,000 Jewish ceremonial art objects.
