Temple Emanu-El: A Spiritual Gem in Manhattan

Getting There

• Subway

  From Yonkers, head to the Yonkers Metro-North station. Take the Hudson Line train toward Grand Central Terminal. After approximately 28 minutes, get off at the 125th Street station in Manhattan. Transfer to the 4, 5, or 6 subway lines at the 125th Street station. Take the 4 or 5 train downtown to the 59th Street - Lexington Avenue station, or the 6 train to the same station. Once at the 59th Street - Lexington Avenue station, walk east on 59th Street for 6 blocks until you reach 1 E 65th St, where Temple Emanu-El is located.

• Bus

  From Yonkers, you can take the Bee-Line Bus No. 1 toward Manhattan. Board the bus at a nearby stop and ride it to the last stop at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. Once there, transfer to a NJ Transit or MTA bus that goes to the Upper East Side, or take the A train from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to 59th Street - Columbus Circle and then switch to the N, Q, R, or W trains to reach the 59th Street - Lexington Avenue station. From there, walk east on 59th Street for 6 blocks to reach 1 E 65th St.

• Walking

  If you are already in Yonkers and prefer to walk, head towards the Hudson River waterfront. Walk south along the waterfront until you reach the Yonkers Metro-North station. From there, follow the subway instructions above, or alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can walk along the riverfront to the nearest subway station that connects to the city.
