Reaching Up, Looking Out
And the Cheruvim shall have wings spread upward…with their faces toward one another…
(Parshas Terumah 25:20)
These two traits – to have wings reaching upward and faces focused on each other –
must be the goal of all Jews. We must on the one hand set lofty personal goals and always seek to ascend to new heights.
On the other hand, we must be focused on the needs of others, looking out with sensitivity toward those around us, ever ready to lend a hand…

Nestled in the charming town of Bala Cynwyd, just minutes away from the heart of Philadelphia, the Young Israel of the Main Line serves as a major center of Torah and Avodah in our community. Enjoying the benefits of a complete local Jewish infrastructure, including Eruv, Mikva, kosher dining, Judaica stores, centers of outreach and advanced Torah learning, our congregants take advantage of the Shul’s services to guide their growth and to channel their ahavas Yisroel. Benefiting from strong rabbinic guidance, our members, who come from diverse backgrounds, are united by their appreciation of serious davening, continuous growth in Torah learning at every level, and genuine concern for one another and for all of Klal Yisroel. Our programs include Shabbos youth groups and other, special events for children, and our Shul is truly a great place for people of all ages.
