The Jericho Jewish Center is a Conservative congregation and synagogue located at 430 North Broadway, Jericho, New York, in the United States. [1]

The congregation was established in 1955, when it began meeting on a local private estate. Construction of the Jericho Jewish Center synagogue began in June 1959, [2] and was completed in 1960. [3] The Iken STEM Science Academy Preschool, housed in the Jericho Jewish Center, opened in 2016. [4]

In 2022 it was reported that the congregation's attempts to consolidate with a nearby Conservative congregation, the Woodbury Jewish Center, failed and that the future of the Jericho Jewish Center was uncertain. Rabbi Matthew Abelson stood down from his position following a vote to merge the congregations. [5]
