Synagogue in the Rabbi Jacob movie.
About
Synagogues in Lower Manhattan often double as landmarks. Some are historic, others famous for cameos in films or literature. Synagogue in the Rabbi Jacob movie fits both categories without fanfare.
At 125 Henry St New York, NY 10002, the building sits between the East River and the old tenements of the Lower East Side. The block still feels like the one from the 1973 comedy, though the storefronts have changed. Directions tend to confuse first-time visitors, so checking the map ahead of time saves a wrong turn.
Services follow traditional Ashkenazi liturgy, with weekday minyanim and Shabbat programs. The schedule shifts seasonally, so calling ahead—if needed—is practical. No phone number is listed, which keeps things simple for those who already know the routine.
After prayers, the neighborhood offers quiet corners and a few delis that have outlasted the movie crews. For exact location details, the map remains the most reliable guide: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25b003598bb8b:0xd199c7e3101d0500.
