At Hineni , Judaism is not an ancient concept. It is a living, timeless source of wisdom. The insight of the Torah, the beauty of Jewish family life , and our strong Biblical ethics have a very necessary role in today's world. Our goal is to help you infuse your life with more meaning through your Jewish heritage. We believe that spiritual and philosophical guidance have an important place in today's complex and turbulent world.
Modern life is filled with conflict and constant stress.
The pressures of everyday life weigh us down, and many of us have lost the strength that faith brings. Without always knowing it, something in us seeks the lasting joy, the inner calm and tranquility of a life linked to traditions and biblical values.

In 1982, the Hineni Heritage Center opened its doors at 232 West End Avenue in New York City.
