Khal Adath Jeshurun, officially K'hal Adath Jeshurun,[1] abbreviated as KAJ, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 85-93 Bennett Avenue in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, New York, United States.
The congregation includes a high proportion of Ashkenazi German Jews and follows the Western Ashkenazic rite, unlike most Ashkenazic synagogues in the United States, that follow the Eastern Ashkenazic (Poilisher) liturgical rite.[2] The Western Ashkenazic rite covers the congregation's liturgical text, practices, and melodies. The congregation uses the Rödelheim Siddur Sfas Emes, though the congregation's rite varies in some places from Rödelheim.
The congregation has an affiliated synagogue in the heavily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Monsey, and there is a synagogue that follows the minhagim of KAJ in Lakewood.
