West Side Judaica has been in business for over forty years and is the last Judaica store in New York City. They have a huge selection of everything you could ever wish to buy for yourself, as a wedding, Bar Mitzvah gift or as a house warming present! They have cute items like matzah ties and other clever clothing items. I was very impressed by how friendly the owners were and you don't have to be Jewish to shop there! However if you are, they have a daily prayer minyan at 3pm!

Got some terrific gifts and cards for a special occasion and the staff were really helpful going through the jewelry. Books and Judaica for all events, holidays and styles.

Great spot on the UWS for all you Jewish needs! Mezuzahs, Seder plates, you name it. Recommend.

The staff were very helpful and I didn’t feel judged for buying on a budget. Lots of cool things in the shop, definitely coming back.

Disclaimer - this describes an incident experienced yesterday by a dear friend who visited this shop and returned in tears ???.My friend is a convert to Judaism, and had popped in to purchase things for Shabbat. She described how a man - she wasn’t sure if he was an employee, fellow shopper, or friend of employees - was acting friendly and helpful, suggesting items, when the conversation abruptly shifted into a rant:Complaining about Kanye West and anti-semitism and how “African Americans have had it easy, only 400 years of oppression” vs. the thousands suffered by the Jewish people, how y’all need to take responsibility and get educated and then you can achieve what we have, etc etc etc ???.Did I mention that my friend is African American? She says she just froze in shock, noticing that other people/employees were within earshot, but no one intervened. Then a kindly female *customer* wandered over and distracted her, getting her away from the man, whispering “you looked like you needed help.” She was extremely grateful - whoever that woman is, THANK YOU for being a blessing at that moment.To the store owners/employees: whether that unhinged male individual was an employee, a friend, or just some random person off the street, it’s upsetting to hear that employees were around, yet did nothing to shut down the blatantly racist harassment occurring right before their eyes. My poor young friend was crushed - as a convert, she was already self-conscious, and this only serves to alienate further.I do hope that the management will hear this story and take steps to prevent future incidents. Singling out a customer for the color of her skin - or witnessing racism but refusing to intervene - it reflects poorly on your business, not to mention your collective sense of humanity. Please do better.

Although this very small Judaica shop has some beautiful things, the selection is still relatively limited in scope and is pretty exorbitantly priced.

Knowledgeable staff willing to assist inquisitive minds. I've found them also to be friendly as well, but if you are in a hurry best to visit when you have more time to methodically look for the right books.

I have patronized West Side Judaica a few times over several years now for my biblical needs. I am always nicely greeted and given great customer service. I'm Christian and don't "look" typically Jewish so I know they are being real with me. They have so many items from books to jewelry. I was in last week to purchase a shofar for the first time. The salesperson helped me find one that I am very happy with and got if for a good price. I highly recommend this store for your biblical and prayer needs and gifts. I will continue to come.

The only store left in Manhattan for judaica. If they don't have it in stock, they can quickly get it for you.
