I think the best thing to do is always make friends and ask them were they go.The Kosher Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764036467274079720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019512003165441280.post-26953319891310373982009-07-03T08:49:49.097-07:002009-07-03T08:49:49.097-07:00Ack!

You are correct Rabbi Bleich is the Rabbi at Yorkville. I've been up to Orach Chaim once and it was to visit Mount Sinai medical students, so I guess things haven't changed that much. The mikvah is relatively new and incredibly beautiful. Everyone is grateful for it since we don't have to schlep to the westside.The Kosher Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764036467274079720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019512003165441280.post-24457016738292195762009-07-03T04:34:01.500-07:002009-07-03T04:34:01.500-07:00I lived on the Upper East Side as a new bride almo...I lived on the Upper East Side as a new bride almost exactly 21 years ago! The Yorkville Synagogue was Rabbi Bleich's correct? We usually davened at Orach Chaim on Lexingtom between 94th & 95th. That was where the Mt. Sinai doctors and their families davened. And there was no mikvah on the East Side, if I recall, but maybe I'm mistaken. It was a LONG time ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
