The Rego Park Jewish Center is a Conservative synagogue located in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens, New York City, New York, United States.
Designed by the architectural firm of Frank Grad & Sons, the Art Deco Streamline Moderne building was completed in 1948.[3] The façade features a mosaic by Hungarian-born artist A. Raymond Katz.[3]
The building is listed on both the New York State and National Register of Historic Places.[3]
In May 2026, the synagogue was one of the target of a crime spree of vandalism with antisemitic graffiti and swastikas in Rego Park and Forest Hills that also struck Congregation Machane Chodosh, along with homes, businesses and vehicles. New York public officials condemned the actions as hate crimes, including Governor Hochul as well as Mayor Zohran Mamdani who called the incidents "a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear".[4][5][6]
