**Congregation Aish Kodesh** ([Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language): קהילת אש קודש, [lit.](/source/Literal_translation) 'Congregation Holy Fire') is an [Chasidic](/source/Chasidic_Judaism) [Jewish](/source/Jewish) congregation and [synagogue](/source/Synagogue), located in [Woodmere](/source/Woodmere%2C_New_York), [Nassau County](/source/Nassau_County%2C_New_York), on [Long Island](/source/Long_Island), [New York](/source/New_York_(state)), in the United States.

Led since its founding in 1992 by Rabbi [Moshe Weinberger](/source/Moshe_Weinberger), the synagogue was named after the [Piaseczna](/source/Piaseczno) Rav, Rabbi [Kalonymus Kalman Shapira](/source/Kalonymus_Kalman_Shapira), known by the name of his last work, *Aish Kodesh*, who was a leading Polish Hasidic rabbi in prewar Europe. By injecting [Hasidic](/source/Hasidic_Judaism) elements into the prayer services, social events, and daily classes, Aish Kodesh has been called a "phenomenon" and a "revolution" in the religious community of Long Island.[1][2]

## History

The [Piaseczna](/source/Piaseczno) Rav, Rabbi [Kalonymus Kalman Shapira](/source/Kalonymus_Kalman_Shapira), known as the Aish Kodesh

Rabbi [Moshe Weinberger](/source/Moshe_Weinberger)

Aish Kodesh was founded in December 1992[3] by a group led by Rabbi [Moshe Weinberger](/source/Moshe_Weinberger), a native of [Queens](/source/Queens), New York, who received [rabbinic ordination](/source/Semikhah) from [Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary](/source/Rabbi_Isaac_Elchanan_Theological_Seminary) (RIETS).[4] Raised in a Modern Orthodox home, Weinberger earned master's degrees in [Jewish philosophy](/source/Jewish_philosophy) from the [Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies](/source/Bernard_Revel_Graduate_School_of_Jewish_Studies) at [Yeshiva University](/source/Yeshiva_University), and in [educational administration](/source/Educational_administration) from [Columbia University Teachers College](/source/Teachers_College%2C_Columbia_University), and taught in [Jewish day schools](/source/Jewish_day_school) for two decades before becoming the rabbi of Aish Kodesh.[5]

Weinberger named the synagogue after the [Piaseczna](/source/Piaseczno) Rav, Rabbi [Kalonymus Kalman Shapira](/source/Kalonymus_Kalman_Shapira), known by the name of his last work, *Aish Kodesh* (Holy Fire), who was a leading Polish Hasidic rabbi in prewar Europe.[6][3][7] He explained his choice in a 1999 article in *[Jewish Action](/source/Jewish_Action)*:

The Rebbe was truly a holy fire sent to warm the hearts and illuminate the minds of a broken generation. In the depth of the darkness, he remained steadfast in his unshakable faith in the immortality of Knesses Yisrael [the Congregation of Israel]. Our generation has been resurrected from the ashes of [Auschwitz](/source/Auschwitz_concentration_camp) and [Treblinka](/source/Treblinka_extermination_camp), yet we have fallen into a state of spiritual numbness, a life of cold prayers, empty [mitzvos](/source/Mitzvah), rote [learning](/source/Torah_study), and an overall sense of spiritual alienation . . . Thus our experiment began with the Aish Kodesh as our role model for spiritual renewal and the [Shulchan Aruch](/source/Shulchan_Aruch) as our guide to uncompromising halachic observance.[6]

Weinberger introduced Hasidic practices and teachings into the congregation to forge connection and meaning in Jewish observance.[5] These practices include leading the congregation in song and dance after prayer services,[8] as well as accompanying congregants on tours of *kivrei tzaddikim* (graves of the righteous) in Ukraine and Israel. Weinberger teaches the works of the Piaseczna Rav in weekly lectures at the synagogue and since 2000 has conducted an annual [hillula](/source/Yom_Hillula) celebration on the [yahrtzeit](/source/Yahrzeit) of the Piaseczna Rav as well as on [Lag BaOmer](/source/Lag_BaOmer), the hillula of Rabbi [Shimon bar Yochai](/source/Simeon_bar_Yohai), which each attract more than 1,000 attendees.[5][9] In 2015 a collection of Weinberger's [Torah](/source/Torah) discourses delivered at the annual hillula for the Piaseczna Rav was published under the title *Warmed by the Fire of the Aish Kodesh*.[5]

Weinberger's lectures and the daily[10] schedule of classes for men and women draw on a wide variety of Hasidic sources, including the [Baal Shem Tov](/source/Baal_Shem_Tov), [Ramchal](/source/Moshe_Chaim_Luzzatto), Rebbe [Nachman of Breslov](/source/Nachman_of_Breslov), the [Baal HaTanya](/source/Shneur_Zalman_of_Liadi), and [Izbica](/source/Mordechai_Yosef_Leiner), as well as the [Vilna Gaon](/source/Vilna_Gaon), Rabbi Tzadok Hakohen, and Rabbi [Avraham Yitzchak Kook](/source/Avraham_Yitzchak_Kook) among many others.[6][1][11] Modern-day Hasidic works by Rabbi [Sholom Noach Berezovsky](/source/Sholom_Noach_Berezovsky), the previous [Slonimer](/source/Slonim_(Hasidic_dynasty)) [Rebbe](/source/Rebbe) of Jerusalem, The Lubavitcher Rebbe, and Rabbi [Yaakov Meir Shechter](/source/Yaakov_Meir_Shechter) of [Breslov](/source/Breslov_(Hasidic_group)) are also studied.[6]

## Building design

The synagogue building is modeled after a Polish Hasidic *[shtiebel](/source/Shtiebel)*.[12] Completed in 2002, the front doors are replicas of the doors fronting the [Rema](/source/Moses_Isserles) synagogue in [Kraków](/source/Krak%C3%B3w).[5] A huge mural depicting the [Warsaw Ghetto](/source/Warsaw_Ghetto) appears inside the entrance.[5] Israeli artist Ofra Friedland was commissioned to produce "murals, ceramics, paintings, bronze sculpture, stained glass windows, woodwork and stone artwork" throughout the synagogue.[13] In the main sanctuary, the 6-foot (1.8 m) high [mechitza](/source/Mechitza) separating the men's and women's sections contains one-way glass so that women can observe the proceedings.[6] Designed by Reuben Gross, the synagogue has capacity for 400 people in its 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m2) [sanctuary](/source/Sanctuary).[14]

In 2015 the synagogue received $75,000 in federal funding from the [United States Department of Homeland Security](/source/United_States_Department_of_Homeland_Security) toward the installation of security enhancements such as "forced-entry-resistant technology, security-modified doors, alarm systems and surveillance cameras".[15][16]
