Congregation Beit Simchat Torah officially opened its modern new sanctuary on Manhattan’s West Side on April 3.

CBST bills itself as a home for progressive Jews and is considered one of the leading shuls for LGBT Jews.
The new synagogue is in the Chelsea neighborhood, about a mile uptown from its longtime home in the West Village.
