Lab/Shul is a non-denominational Jewish congregation located in New York City, New York, United States. The congregation was founded by Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, when he was a rabbinical student, in 2012 as an experimental, pop-up synagogue[1] with support from the UJA-Federation, Jewish foundations, and private donors.[2] The intent of the congregation is to experiment with various forms of Jewish practice, hence "Lab" in its name.[2] As of April 2022[update], it has approximately 300 families as members.[3]
